When to Hire a Project Manager

One of my clients just hired a Project Manager. Incidentally, it didn't cost them anything beyond their monthly fee. They could hire 1 new employee or 10, it's all the same monthly fee. What was differently about this PM, though, was that his resume was not great. In fact, it hadn't been updated in a few years and didn't have any "Key Words". If my client was reviewing resumes, they wouldn't have given this candidate a second thought. But I take the time to find out a little more and interview candidates that others might not. And it turns out that sometimes, people who haven't needed resumes before don't spend a lot of time on them and if you look a little deeper, you get a phenomenal candidate. Who have you missed out on because you don't have the time to interview more then a couple of candidates? Let me help. Whether you're in South Carolina, Texas or somewhere in between, give me a call and let's talk about solutions to the hiring crisis.

*The Blurred Lines Between Tech Lead and Project Manager: A Recipe for Disaster* As I scroll through job postings, I'm astonished by the number of ads that conflate or combine the roles of Tech Lead and Project Manager. This trend is not only misleading but also detrimental to business goals. *Two Distinct Roles, Two Unique Skill Sets* A Tech Lead is a technical expert responsible for: - Designing and implementing technical solutions - Leading and guiding development teams - Ensuring technical quality and standards A Project Manager, on the other hand, is responsible for: - Overseeing project timelines, budgets, and resources - Coordinating stakeholders, communication, and risk management - Ensuring project deliverables align with business objectives *The Consequences of Mixing Up These Roles* By combining these roles, businesses may achieve short-term cost savings, but they risk: - Technical solutions that don't meet business needs - Projects that are delayed, over-budget, or poorly executed - Missed opportunities for innovation and growth *Let's Set the Record Straight* If you're a business leader or hiring manager, please recognize the distinct value that Tech Leads and Project Managers bring to the table. By separating these roles, you'll: - Ensure technical excellence and business alignment - Foster a culture of innovation and collaboration - Achieve your business goals efficiently and effectively Let's end the confusion and give these critical roles the recognition they deserve! #TechLead #ProjectManager #BusinessGoals #TechnicalExcellence #Innovation #Collaboration #Leadership #Management #hiringrules #it #team
