Project Manager Staffing FAQs

Why hire a project manager?

Hiring a project manager ensures your organization has someone fully dedicated to planning, organizing, and overseeing execution rather than just reacting when problems arise. A skilled project manager keeps teams aligned, tracks progress against timelines, manages risk, and communicates with stakeholders so projects stay on course.

Without this role, even capable teams often struggle with missed deadlines, unclear ownership, and scope creep. A professional project manager brings discipline to the process, freeing leadership to focus on strategic decisions while ensuring that deliverables are met efficiently and consistently.

How long does it typically take to hire a project manager?

Hiring timelines depend on project complexity, seniority level, and your internal approval process. Generally, filling a project management role can take anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks when recruiting independently.

Working with a specialized project management staffing agency like Hunter can significantly shorten that window. Because we maintain a network of pre-qualified professionals, we’re often able to present top candidates within days rather than weeks — cutting your time-to-hire by as much as 40%.

How can I tell if a candidate has strong project management experience?

Beyond certifications like PMP or Agile credentials, look for demonstrated outcomes. Experienced project managers can clearly explain:

  • The scope and complexity of projects they’ve managed

  • The size and makeup of the teams they’ve led

  • How they handled risk, conflict, or shifting priorities

  • The measurable results they achieved (on-time delivery, cost savings, quality improvements, etc.)

Soft skills also matter. Strong communication, stakeholder management, and adaptability are just as critical as technical expertise.

What are the most common challenges when hiring project managers?

If you struggle to hire project managers, you’re not alone. Many employers can’t find the right fit because they focus too heavily on credentials instead of proven results. Others underestimate the importance of soft skills like communication and adaptability, or they simply lack access to qualified candidates in high-demand industries.

It’s also common for employers to struggle to find candidates whose expectations align with their compensation package. In some cases, companies sacrifice experience and end up with project managers who lack the leadership or technical depth needed to deliver results. Taking time to benchmark compensation against market data and define the must-have skills for the role can help you be more effective with your hiring budget.
