Assessment tools for early employees/CTOs?


Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple, reasonably quick (for the candidate) service focusing on 'core skills' like aptitude, reasoning, communication and personality type?

We're in the process of hiring our first hire - this is a software engineer who will ideally grow into a CTO and a co-founder.

The market for 'candidate assessment' is very corporate and includes things like anti-cheating systems and tech tests - I think both of these would be off-putting, useless and condescending for the type of candidates I'm trying to attract.

Are you looking for a cofounder or an employee? It’s like to be looking for a secretary who will ideally grow into a wife.
