CIO Recruiters

CIO executive search for North American, Western European, and Australian companies

Most companies still maintain fairly clear demarcation lines pertaining to the duties of the CIO, CTO, and CDO within their corporate structure. In recent years the Chief Digital Officer position has been appearing less often in organizational charts signifying a relatively defined return for many to a composition that implements a framework more reliant on a Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Officer in charge of guiding strategy, policy, and investment on that particular side of the business.

Current average tenure
The amount of time a typical CIO is presently spending in a given role stands at about the 4-year mark. More often than not change is occurring due to a CIO’s desire to access new challenges and opportunities rather than leadership seeking a new professional. Their influence across the organization has increased substantially over the past decade alone, and they are more than willing to join a company that affords the ability to establish and set corporate policy if it’s not currently being provided.

The competition to hire Chief Information Officers becomes more pronounced with each passing year, and in order for a company to effectively attract and hire the best possible match it’s important to consider partnering with a proven group of executive search professionals.
