Pula’s top priority was defining the profile of their next technology executive. Pula partnered with Rippleworks to create a job description for a high-impact CTO.
Rippleworks played a key role in helping us identify our first CTO through crafting a compelling JD, shortlisting candidates and designing interviews that helped us land on the right candidate.
We are very happy with the results of our collaboration.
