Product Manager Hiring

Product managers who make good decisions, not just good slides.

We recruit product managers, senior and group PMs and heads of product for technology companies, including PMs for AI, data and platform products. Every candidate is assessed on real product problems by people who have built and shipped products.

The problem

Why these hires so often go wrong.

01

Every PM role is different

A growth PM, a platform PM and an AI product PM need different strengths. A generic job description attracts the wrong people.

02

Hard to judge from a CV

Titles and company names say little about whether someone can prioritise, work with engineers and make a call with incomplete data.

03

Interviews that test performance, not judgement

Polished frameworks win interviews. Thinking clearly about your users, data and trade-offs is what matters in the job.

04

AI products need a different PM

PMs for AI features must understand evaluation, data quality and uncertain outputs. Few hiring teams know how to test for it.
