BrightVue attended final interviews with the client, giving us first-hand insight into what mattered most to the hiring manager. This clarity, combined with the Precision PM Hiring System, allowed us to target candidates who were not only technically capable but also aligned with the client’s culture and delivery environment.


The Solution

●     Conducted a Role Clarity Call with the hiring manager to confirm exact candidate requirements

●     Used accelerated headhunting to identify a strong-fit PM within a week

●     Timed the placement strategically so the new PM started the day after the outgoing PM’s final day

●     Followed up with both the line manager and the new PM several months later, providing customized coaching to sustain performance

The Results
