Challenges of “Old-School” Hiring Approaches

Traditional hiring for project managers often trips on a few early hurdles:

1. Gut feeling, opinion-based choices can leave leadership asking, “Did we really get the best hire?”
2. Long interview rounds slow progress and drain energy, especially when not paired with pre-employment tests to back up instincts.
3. Overlooking real skills by leaning too much on experience or titles, rather than seeing what applicants actually handle well.

Those traps add delay, doubt, and mis-hires, and nobody has time for that when project deadlines loom big.

Skills Testing Software: A Solution With Swagger

Good skills testing software does more than assess; it clears the fog:

1. Targeted checks let you zero in on real skills, not just resumes.
2. Quick, objective screens keep interviews lean and focused on what matters.
3. Clear results give confidence that you’ve pinpointed the best match before you even invite them in.

With a solid testing toolkit, you avoid hiring stumbles and land project managers who actually move the needle.
