Why this seat is hard to fill.

Project management works differently when the seat owns client-visible timelines, internal owners, and live escalation. Nearshore overlap matters when delivery risk has to be handled before the workday is gone.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Delivery ownership is proven on the job, so the proof sits with people who still have the job.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • A working-call scenario around a slipping timeline, missing inputs, and a client asking for status.
  • Tool fluency across ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and reporting docs.
  • A written exercise: turning messy delivery notes into client-ready updates.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • The project manager writes or owns client-visible updates.
  • Delivery depends on live coordination with the US team.
  • The founder is still chasing status despite having project support.
  • You only need overnight task-board cleanup.
  • The role has no client or stakeholder communication.
  • You are not ready to hand over delivery context.
