Hiring tips from our team
Advice for finding the right product manager
Give a real product problem from your company as a case study. Watch how they structure their thinking — do they start with the user, the data, or the solution?
Ask about a feature they killed and why. Great PMs say no more than they say yes — this question reveals prioritization discipline.
Test their data fluency. Ask them to interpret a retention cohort chart or a funnel conversion table. PMs who cannot read data cannot make good decisions.
Check references with engineers they have worked with. The engineering team's opinion of a PM is the most reliable signal of their effectiveness.

What we've delivered:
"Working with Herizon has been an absolute turning point for our hiring. They have already helped us successfully bring on board a Growth Marketing Manager and a RevOps Manager, and are now supporting us in finding the right AEs and a Partnership Development Manager. What sets Herizon apart is not only their deep understanding of every role in a revenue organization, but also their ability to truly grasp what we are looking for as if they were part of our own team. They don't just present candidates — they challenge our thinking, help us sort through priorities, and go deep with candidates to ensure we're meeting the right people. I couldn't recommend Herizon highly enough for any company looking to build out their revenue teams with the right people."
"Found people who actually understand the problem. They're from regions where sustainability challenges are real and motivation to solve them is high."
