Challenge
Investor intros produced polished PMs from big tech who expected an army of researchers and analysts.
The role required writing, facilitation, and comfort with ambiguity — hard to infer from résumé keywords alone.
Solution
HireBoost weighted written briefs and live problem-shaping exercises over brand-name employers. We sourced from operator-heavy networks and founder-backed alumni circles.
Shortlists included video intros so founders could sense narrative style before booking deep dives.
“The calibration sessions saved us from our own bias toward logos. We hired someone who actually ships.”
