How to Hire a Chief AI Officer
How to Hire a Chief AI Officer is Attain's complete playbook for making the full-time hire well: whether the role is justified at all, what the mandate must contain, what the hire costs, how to vet candidates for a discipline you may not know deeply yourself, and what the first quarter should look like. About 6,800 words, fully sourced, free in full.
A note on why this guide is free. Attain sells independent AI advisory and nothing else. We earn no recruiting fee from this hire and protect no retainer by talking you out of it. Our engagements are designed to end well, and for some clients that end is hiring their full-time AI leader. This is the guide we use when we help them do it.
