How It Works

Hire Senior PMs in 3 steps

A structured process for the hire that anchors your delivery culture — where getting the Senior PM wrong doesn’t just cost a project, it costs the PM pipeline they were supposed to mentor.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on sector, seat (project-anchored vs. multi-project), portfolio scale, mentor / PM-team structure, PE-track expectations, and start date.

Step 02

Review hand-selected talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Senior PMs with delivered $200M+ portfolios in your sector. References from prior PEs, Directors, and PMs they mentored included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

Why iRecruit.co for Senior PM Hires

What makes our Senior PM shortlist different

Senior PMs anchor your delivery culture. Portfolio depth, mentor track, and PE-ready trajectory separate a Senior PM who compounds your PM pipeline from one who just holds one project down.

01

Delivered portfolio verified

Every Senior PM on the shortlist has $200M+ delivered portfolio history in your sector — not just resume tenure. Reference-verified from prior PEs, Directors, and project executives.

02

Mentor track record

Reference-verified from PMs they mentored: who they promoted, who they retained, and how they grew the pipeline. Not just a “managed a team” resume line.

03

PE-ready trajectory

Every candidate is vetted on the specific skills (portfolio governance, PM oversight, owner-facing composure, cost discipline) that indicate the Project Executive promotion is coming.

How long does it take to hire a Senior PM?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks from scoping call. Total time to placement (shortlist through offer acceptance) is typically 3–4 weeks.

What does it cost to hire a Senior PM?

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer. Executive search (PE / Director-level) is a retained fee, typically 30–35% of first-year cash comp.

Do you place project-anchored and multi-project Senior PMs?

Yes. Both are core coverage — project-anchored Senior PMs (single major program), multi-project Senior PMs (3–5 concurrent), and Project Directors (program-scale single project).

How do you screen for PE-track promotion readiness?

We reference-verify with prior PEs, Directors, and project executives on portfolio governance, PM oversight, and owner-facing composure. Not just tenure.

Do you handle confidential incumbent-replacement Senior PM searches?

Yes. Confidential replacement searches route through executive search. Retained engagement, discreet outreach, and market intel included.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every Senior PM placement carries a replacement guarantee. Guarantee terms are confirmed in writing at engagement start.

Can you build a full Senior PM bench for a new sector vertical?

Yes. Multi-hire Senior PM builds route through embedded recruiting or RPO. Common for GCs standing up a hyperscale, healthcare, or cGMP vertical.

How is iRecruit.co different from a generalist senior-PM recruiter?

Generalist recruiters treat all Senior PMs as interchangeable. iRecruit.co Senior PM recruiters verify delivered portfolio, mentor track, and PE-ready trajectory — every candidate is matched to your delivery culture.
