100 IT Project Manager Interview Questions

As an IT recruiter, you will frequently encounter IT project manager positions, and providing your clients with information on the talents of IT professionals in addition to finding suitable candidates based on their resumes may be valuable. To do so effectively, it is critical to comprehend the role of an IT project manager, which can be aided by a prior blog article we published. Additionally, you may find our IT project manager interview questions useful to better understand your candidate’s expertise and knowledge.

Bluebird’s blog post aims to demonstrate the types of questions you can ask to improve your understanding of your candidate’s abilities and knowledge. I recommend that you only ask these questions if you have a deep understanding of the topic and can have a conversation about it. It is essential not to attempt to demonstrate more expertise than you have.
