Break Free From Conventional Technical Leadership
Bringing a full-time technology executive into your business isn't just a hire—it's a major financial commitment that goes far beyond the salary figure. While strong technical leadership is essential for growth, the conventional approach of a full-time CTO or IT Director might be holding your business back rather than propelling it forward.
For small businesses and growing enterprises in the $1M revenue range, a full-time technical hire often doesn't align with your actual needs or budget reality. Let's shatter the traditional model and explore why a Facilitator delivers what others can't.
What You're REALLY Paying For With Full-Time Technical Leadership
1. Recruitment & Hiring Costs That Demolish Your Budget
The real cost of acquiring top technology talent goes far beyond the posted salary:
- Executive technology searches average $15,000+ in recruitment fees
- 3-6 months of searching while critical technical initiatives stall
- Countless hours of your team's time spent interviewing candidates
2. Compensation That Extends Far Beyond Base Salary
Technology leadership doesn't come cheap:
- Base salaries starting at $150,000-$250,000 annually
- Benefits packages adding 15-30% to total compensation
- Stock options and performance bonuses creating unpredictable expenses
- Overhead costs for equipment, licenses, and workspace
3. Onboarding That Drains Resources
Getting a new technology leader up to speed isn't instant:
- 3-6 months of reduced productivity during knowledge transfer
- Training costs that far exceed typical employee onboarding
- Team disruption during transition periods
4. The Financial Disaster of a Poor Technology Hire
If your technology leader doesn't work out:
- Financial impact averaging 30% of their first-year earnings
- Cultural disruption that can derail your entire technology team
- Critical projects abandoned or delayed during transition
- Competitive advantages lost to market rivals
