Recruiting recommendations

Sharpen role profile and prioritize the tech stack

  • Differentiate the role by responsibility and IT focus (e.g., IT Project Manager vs. Project Manager) to target suitable IT professionals.

  • List posted gross salary ranges; use the median and P25–P75 for orientation.

  • Prioritize named tools: JIRA, Microsoft Project and Confluence; list Office/Excel as baseline skills.

Craft Project Manager job ad with clear salary and tech stack

  • Use a precise headline that states role, seniority and working model (e.g., "Project Manager — Hybrid — posted salary range").

  • Provide a salary range or median with quartiles rather than vague wording.

  • List required technologies explicitly: JIRA, Microsoft Project, Confluence; separate must-haves from nice-to-haves.
