Hire Project Managers
Screened for managers who get a single project to done, on scope and on time.
Why STACK IT
Built to hire project managers, not fill seats.
Most agencies optimize for volume. We optimize for the one hire who’s right, vetted by people who understand the work.
Recruiters who know project delivery
We screen for how a PM drives scope, schedule, and budget to a real finish, not just maintains a status deck. No candidate reaches you without two recruiters signing off.
Every candidate is real
Fake profiles, proxy interviews, and AI-assisted answers are everywhere in tech hiring. We meet each candidate face-to-face on video and screen for AI patterns, so who you interview is who shows up.
Screened to stay, not just to start
A hire that leaves in a year isn't a win. We align trajectory, growth, and total comp so the project manager grows with your team instead of moving on.
You pay only when they start
Success-based and non-exclusive, no upfront fees, no retainers. We invoice on your project manager's first day, not before.
How we screen
The Project Managers Evaluation Rubric.
We screen for how project managers actually think. Every shortlist is judged against the same five criteria that predict whether someone delivers in your codebase.
Strong signal
Breaks work into a realistic plan, sets clear scope, and protects it from quiet creep.
Falls short
Accepts every change and watches the timeline slide.
Strong signal
Tracks schedule and budget closely and raises the flag early, while there's still room to act.
Falls short
Surfaces the slip only once the deadline is already gone.
Strong signal
Spots risks before they bite and has a plan B ready, not just a risk log.
Falls short
Keeps a tidy risk register that no one ever acts on.
Strong signal
Keeps sponsors and the team aligned with clear, honest status, good news or bad.
Falls short
Goes quiet exactly when the project is in trouble.
Strong signal
Stays calm when things slip and drives the project to a real, shipped finish.
Falls short
Loses the thread when plans change mid-flight.

The cost of waiting
An open role isn’t free.
An empty seat doesn’t delay work, it redistributes it. The longer the search drags, the more it costs.
Every week a role stays open, the cost lands on the team you already have.
- Work waits in the backlog while priorities pile up.
- They cover work that isn’t theirs, until something slips.
- The longer the seat stays empty, the harder the restart.
Speed isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the difference between a gap and a setback.

FAQ
Hiring project managers, answered.
The questions teams usually ask before starting a search with us.
Recruiter-led and scenario-based, not a checklist. We walk through real projects to see how they handled scope changes, slipping timelines, and stakeholder pressure. Every candidate is met face-to-face over video, the same practice behind our AI hiring fraud protection, and no one reaches your inbox until a second reviewer signs off.
You'll typically see your first qualified candidate within 24–48 hours, and a calibrated shortlist of three to five within about five business days. Most permanent roles close in two to three weeks; contract placements often start within 5–10 business days.
For permanent hires it's success-based: you pay only when a candidate starts, with no upfront fee or retainer. Contract placements run on a transparent hourly rate that already covers payroll, compliance, and onboarding. There's no cost to simply engage us.
Permanent placements are backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee: if it doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we replace them at no charge. It's part of how we stay accountable long after the placement. For contract roles, our backfill guarantee means we replace a contractor quickly and at no extra cost if they exit early.
No. We work non-exclusively by default, so you can keep your internal sourcing running or use other firms alongside us. We'd rather earn repeat business through results than lock you into an agreement. We just work best when feedback is quick and expectations are clear.
