Hiring reality
Product Management hiring challenges
What Product Management teams tell us before switching to a structured, evidence-based workflow — and how TaaSFlow turns each risk into a scoring signal.
Surface fluency
B2B, consumer, platform, growth and data product are distinct disciplines — never merged in scoring.
Outcome vs output
Rubrics capture measurable outcomes owned — activation, retention, revenue — not just launches.
Founding vs scale
0→1 founding PMs and scale-stage optimisation PMs reward different signal — captured at intake.
Output theatre
Roadmap slides and Jira ticket counts are easy to pad. Rubrics look for the metric moved and the decision behind it, not activity volume.
