James Jordan’s Post

I’ve been taking a few days off to explore the beautiful Colorado mountains. Next week I’m back at it and am meeting many folks across Denver and Boulder on the 15th, 16th and 17th Aug. If you are getting back to work next week and are fed up with your current Product Management gig, let’s find some time to talk. If you are planning to hire or are struggling to find the right Product pro for your team, I can help you make the hire you need. Producto is making Product Management recruiting easier for customers all over the USA! #productmanagement #hiring #recruitment

Anyone who knows me will know that integrity, honesty, and commitment are at the core of everything I do. It's how I live my life and how I run my business too. These values are at the heart of why I founded Producto. One of the key objectives for Producto is to reduce the transactional nature of recruitment for Product Management professionals and improve the search capabilities for our customers. If I was a customer looking to hire the best Product Manager or Head of Product for my team, I would want to work with a recruiter who lives and breathes this market and has the experience and track record to deliver. Why would you choose any other option? Our ability to carry out a thorough search of the market for any Product Management role is unrivaled. We have the knowledge, network, and experience of running many successful searches for Product Managers through to CPOs for companies across the USA. Our customers can rest assured that when they work with us that they have a partner who is committed, understands their needs, and is able to present a curated list of suitable candidates that they want to hire. If your recruitment efforts need an upgrade, drop me a message and we can arrange some time to discuss how Producto can help you! #hiring #recruitment #productmanagement

What a way to end the week! We've just completed a Senior Product Manager search for one of our new customers. This was a tricky role with very specific needs and I'm absolutely buzzing about this appointment! We've also been in talks with 4 new companies this week who have reached out to us to support their Product Management hiring needs over October and November. Companies are choosing Producto to support them with critical Product hires because we get the PM world, we have our finger on the pulse when it comes to the market and we are experts at headhunting the best talent for their needs. We don't hard sell customers on using us and we don't pressure candidates into jobs they are not a good fit for. We are trusted advisors to both parties.

"What questions should I ask when interviewing for a director of product role?" I was recently chatting with a product leader who is interviewing for a director of product role at a company that has product market fit and is looking to scale in 2024. He asked which questions I would ask the hiring manager and figured it might be helpful to share publicly too in case others are in that boat. Here are some of my favorite questions to ask in this situation: 1. What's the most exciting thing to you on the roadmap? 2. What's the biggest thing you're trying to change about the product culture at {x}? 3. What does massive success in the director role look like from your vantage point? OR How will you evaluate success for this role? 4. How do you envision your time allocation changing once you hire this person? (i.e. what will you spend more/less time doing) 5. What's the biggest bottleneck to 10x revenue growth? Any other good ones come to mind? Throw them in the comments 👇 #interviewquestions #interviewtips

Helping companies figure out what type of Product pro they need and working closely with them to find and hire the right person for the job is what I love doing. We placed this Chief Product Officer and have helped build out the team around him. Luckily, the key stakeholders in this business knew from the start that to find the right CPO for the business, they had to go to someone who knew the product start-up world! If you need help from someone who knows the Product Management discipline and is able to identify and secure the best talent for the business quickly, DM me or email j.[email protected], and let's talk. #hiring #recruitment #productmanagement
