How to Hire a Project Manager

When you have a project, you’ll need to put someone in charge of leading it to successful completion, but who? Jennifer Bridges, PMP, offers you practical tips for hiring a project manager.

What are the skills you need in a project manager? Jennifer asked. They’re the ones the match your organizations needs. How to do that? She suggests three keys things you’ll need to think about, which are as follows:

1. Do they know real-world project management?
2. Can they adapt to the fast-paced nature of your work today?
3. Are they proficient in online tools and apps they need to use?

Then it’s a matter of matching up the right candidate with the right credentials for the job. That can include whether or not they need have a certain level of education, training, certification and experience.Again, it’s all dependent on the needs of your company. If you train then maybe a trained prospect would require too much reeducation to make them the right choice. The opposite can also apply if the work your organization does is reflected in the candidate’s resume, so it would be an easy fit to place them into the project.Don’t take our word on it, the business magazine Forbes recently posted an article on how to land the best project manager for the job, which is worth a read.
