Six steps to hire a project manager
- Set the pay range first. Today’s 268 project manager postings that state a yearly US-dollar range offer $110K to $161K for the middle half. Three quarters of them offer more than the lower figure. 37% of the postings state pay; in several US states and EU countries the law requires it. See project manager pay in detail.
- Write the description. Start from the project manager job description template, then check it with the job description checker: the pay, the place of work and the must-haves should be clear before the second paragraph.
- Decide where the person can work. 12% of today’s project manager postings are remote and 7% hybrid. If yours is remote, name the countries or time zones; “remote” alone brings applications you cannot accept.
- Post it where people look. Post the job free on this site, add it to your own careers page and send it to people you know who do this work.
- Screen for the skills that matter. Today’s postings name Agile, Jira most often: check them in the work, not only in the resume. Score every candidate on the same points with the interview scorecard; the project manager interview questions show what good candidates prepare for.
- Decide quickly. Half of today’s open project manager postings have been up more than 65 days: a candidate who waits for your answer may be talking to other employers meanwhile. Tell every candidate when you will decide, and keep to it.
