Questions founders ask
The three we hear most, answered straight.
Can you find our first product manager?
Yes, first-PM searches are our specialty. We help you decide what the role even is before we search: builder PM, growth PM, or a head of product in waiting.
Do you place fractional or full-time PMs?
Full-time placements are our core. For interim needs we can scope the search for a contract-to-hire arrangement.
How do you test product sense?
Structured case rounds with your stakeholders plus psychometric screening. Candidates reach you only after clearing both.
