PM Interview Plan for Marketplace Products

150 applicants. 100 interviews. 3 hires. This template is the process that got there — a 6-stage PM interview loop calibrated for data-heavy and marketplace product organizations. The hiring manager is excluded until the final stage to prevent early anchoring bias. Stage 2 is the product analytics screen — Critical for data-intensive roles. A 1-2 score on any Critical competency is a Hard No. Built for VPs of Product and Directors at marketplace or data-intensive B2B companies hiring PMs at scale.
