Final Stage Interview

Hiring a technology leader is one of the most critical decisions a company makes — and getting it wrong is costly.

You can invest months in the process and still choose someone who doesn’t deliver at the expected level or doesn’t fit the company’s current stage.

With my participation in the final stage of your hiring process, I bring an external, experienced, and impartial perspective to support the decision.

How it works

This service does not replace your recruitment process.

Your company has already run the process — internally or with a recruiting firm — and is in the final decision phase. My role adds an extra layer of quality to the choice.

  • Alignment with Hiring Manager and VP of People on the role context and company stage
  • Interview with up to 3 finalist candidates
  • Structured assessment of each candidate
  • Participation in the decision meeting, with a clear analysis of pros, cons, and risks

What you gain

  • Reduced risk of a wrong hire
  • Assessment by someone who has hired and led dozens of technology professionals
  • External perspective, free from process bias
  • Greater clarity when comparing candidates

What sets this apart

My assessment goes beyond experience and technical knowledge.

I evaluate whether the candidate truly has:

  • The ability to lead at the company’s current stage
  • The maturity to make difficult decisions
  • Alignment with the culture and the business
  • The potential to scale alongside the company

This is a decision that directly impacts execution for the next few years — and it deserves an extra level of care.

When it makes the most sense

  • Hiring a CTO, Head of Engineering, or senior Tech Lead
  • Uncertainty between two or more strong candidates
  • Need for an experienced second opinion before the final decision
Investment: USD 2,000

Why work with me?

There are many competent people in technology. The difference lies in hands-on experience, especially during critical growth moments.

  • 20+ years in startups
  • Real experience scaling Product and Technology teams to 150 people
  • Part of building a company that became a unicorn
  • Direct work with startups at different stages (Seed, Series A, and B)
  • Focus on real problems, not theoretical solutions

I work pragmatically, focused on quickly identifying what's blocking the business and helping unlock results.

Leo helped us restructure our engineering recruitment process and improve our hiring and screening processes. As a result we had a very much improved candidate pipeline which resulted in superior confidence in our new hires. He also helped us organize and prioritize our product roadmap and define the tech team we needed to deliver it. It’s great having someone with his experience to discuss our challenges.

I highly recommend Leonardo Andreucci, who served as a part-time CTO for InfoPrice and led the search for a full-time CTO through his firm. Leo quickly conducted a thorough diagnostic, engaged deeply with our technology and data teams, and implemented essential processes and ceremonies with impressive speed and effectiveness. His communication is exceptional, and he brings invaluable expertise, seamlessly translating technical needs into business language and vice versa. He supported us through a challenging period, delivering excellent service as a part-time CTO and executing a successful CTO search.
