Screen product manager CVs against the role: shipped-outcome evidence, scope fit, red flags, and PM interview questions.
Product manager CVs are full of launched features; screening is about ownership and outcomes. Look for products shipped end to end with measurable impact and evidence of prioritisation under constraints.
What to look for:
Products or features owned end to end with stated outcomes.
Evidence of prioritisation and trade-off decisions.
Scope fit: B2B vs. B2C, 0-to-1 vs. scale, team size.
Discovery and data-informed decision-making.
Red flags to probe:
Feature lists with no outcomes or ownership.
Credit for launches with no role in the decisions.
Scope far from your context with no bridge.
Outcomes
Walk me through a product you owned and the metric it moved.
Tell me about something you decided not to build, and why.
Method
How do you prioritise a roadmap with limited engineering capacity?
How do you validate a problem before committing to build?
