From Garage to Google-sized: Scaling Your Dev Team Beyond Your High School CS Club

From Garage to Google-sized: Scaling Your Dev Team Beyond Your High School CS Club

As a CTO in a seed-stage startup, you're responsible for driving product development and building a strong engineering team. With a team of 5 to 20 people, you’re likely balancing product innovation with the complex task of hiring the right talent. In the early stages, you may have relied heavily on your network for recruiting, but that approach can quickly reach its limits as your company grows.

You've Tapped Into Your Network—Now What?

Your network is a great resource—made up of people you know, trust, and have worked with—but it can only take you so far. Once you've reached out to everyone, you might start facing these situations:

  • Limited Talent Pool: Even a big personal network has its limits. Once you’ve contacted the people you know, it gets harder to keep finding top talent, which can slow down growth and new ideas.

  • Bias Risk: When hiring from your network, staying objective is tough. You may find yourself relying on gut feelings rather than a clear, fair process.

  • Time Crunch: Balancing everything else while trying to find, interview, and hire people can feel like too much when you're already busy running the show.

A solution for network-reliant CTOs: how can NoFUD help

  • Expand Your Talent Pool Relying only on your connections can limit the variety of candidates you find. NoFUD opens the door to a huge pool of pre-screened engineers, developers, and tech leaders. Whether you're looking for generalists who can wear multiple hats or specialists with deep technical expertise, our platform connects you with candidates who fit your unique needs.

  • Objective Evaluations with AI Screening Hiring from referrals can make it challenging to evaluate candidates fairly. NoFUD offers AI-augmented screening tools that help you assess skills, culture fit, and leadership potential in a consistent and unbiased way. This means you can make more informed hiring decisions, ensuring that every candidate is evaluated based on their abilities.

  • Save Time With a Dedicated Talent Partner As a CTO, your time is valuable. Proactive recruiting can pull you away from leading product development and managing your team. NoFUD acts as an extension of your team, handling the time-consuming tasks of sourcing, screening, and conducting initial interviews. This lets you focus on your big-picture goals while we take care of building your talent pipeline.

NoFUD: Your strategic hiring partner

Sometimes you need to quickly expand your team to hit product milestones, while other times, you might need to scale back or pause hiring altogether. NoFUD offers contract-based hiring models that give you the flexibility to adjust your team size as your needs change, allowing you to respond to market demands without the long-term commitment of full-time hires. At the same time, NoFUD’s standard recruitment fee model for in-house hires ensures you can bring on full-time employees who are dedicated to your startup’s success.

By partnering with NoFUD, you’re not just solving today’s hiring challenges—you’re setting your startup up for sustainable growth.
