PM Hiring Best Practices

Tips from experienced hiring managers to help you attract and close top PM talent. For a full step-by-step guide, read our complete guide to hiring product managers.

Write Inclusive Job Descriptions

Use gender-neutral language, focus on must-haves vs nice-to-haves, and remove unnecessary degree requirements. Women apply when they meet 100% of requirements; men at 60%.

Include Salary Transparency

Job postings with salary ranges receive 30% more applications. It's also legally required in many states (CA, CO, NY, WA). Transparency builds trust.

Be Specific About Impact

Instead of generic responsibilities, describe the actual problems the PM will solve and the impact they'll have. "Own the checkout experience serving 10M users" beats "drive product strategy."

Define Success Metrics

Share how you'll measure success in the first 90 days and first year. This helps candidates self-select and sets clear expectations.

Streamline Your Interview Process

Top PM candidates have multiple offers. Aim for 2-3 weeks from first interview to offer. Excessive interview rounds lose candidates to faster-moving companies.

Sell the Opportunity

The best PMs have options. Highlight growth opportunities, interesting problems, team culture, and what makes your company special.
