What are some behavioral questions you would ask candidates in a PM interview for a Director level role?
What are some challenges you handled and how?
What are some errors you made and what did you learn from them?
How do we set goals?
The questions I ask are probably not best to share here because I still want to use these questions when I'm hiring, so I'll give you the question BEHIND the question:
Are you good at the following things:
Hiring the right people for the right job - tell me about how you approach hiring or give me an example of a good vs bad hire
I care a lot about how you manage a team, how you organize your team, how you organize work for your team, how you communicate with me, with our leadership, and with your direct reports.
How do you communicate with cross functional stakeholders, customers, or sales - especially when things are tense? Tell me about a time you did it well - or not well - and what you learned.
Do you know how to present information succinctly to higher levels of leadership? Can you get funding for a new project/initiative?
Can you manage dependencies with other teams without me getting involved?
Can you build and prioritize a roadmap for your team and present it to customers and other internal stakeholders?
Are you a good presenter?
Are you a nice person with integrity? Are you dependable? Do people like working with you?
