The Problem With Hiring Project Managers
Hiring Project Manager usually starts with CV screening and short phone interviews. These steps are time-consuming, inconsistent, and weak predictors of real performance.
CVs rarely show how candidates:
Translate requirements into executable delivery plans
Sequence tasks across interdependent teams and timelines
Identify risks and implement mitigation plans
Track progress and recover slipping milestones
Phone interviews help, but they still reward confidence over capability. This is where many poor hires slip through.
How Neuroworx adds evidence before interviews
Neuroworx adds a short, role-specific assessment before interviews, so hiring decisions are based on observed behaviour, not assumptions.
Candidates complete realistic scenarios and short written responses that reflect the day-to-day demands of a Project Manager role.
This allows you to see how candidates:
Build delivery plans from incomplete or shifting requirements
Manage dependencies across teams with competing priorities
Assess project risk and choose appropriate mitigation actions
Respond to timeline slippage with practical recovery decisions
Instead of relying on CVs and early phone screens alone, interviews are informed by consistent, comparable evidence for every candidate.
How the Assessment Works
A simple, role specific flow from invite to shortlist.
