Too Long; Didn't Read
I have been a product manager for the last eight years. After talking to many product managers in different companies, it became evident how difficult it is to assess product talent. This led me on a path of conducting product interviews to help companies hire good product managers that fit their needs. At the same time, I went on a parallel mission to master the science of recruiting through all the existing research. The insights were really interesting and I thought it would be helpful to “decode” some of the research I’ve read — or, in other words, break down the highlights to spare you some time and a few thousand words.
