Product management recruiting is evolving—candidate pools are growing, expectations are shifting, and what worked in past cycles may not be enough for 2026. To stand out this year, you need more than solid PM skills; you need clear positioning, a strong narrative, and a deep understanding of what companies are prioritizing right now. In this session, we’ll break down what’s changing in PM recruiting for 2026 and how you can adapt your strategy to stay competitive.
The session will be led by an experienced PM coach who has helped candidates successfully navigate PM recruiting across top tech companies. Drawing on firsthand coaching and hiring insights, they’ll walk through current recruiting trends, how recruiters and hiring managers evaluate candidates, and the specific ways top applicants differentiate themselves in resumes, interviews, and storytelling.
