Why is it so hard to find good PMs and SWEs in Europe?

It‘s almost like 90% of the people that I interview have done an agile cert and consider themselves a PM because of it. The other large majority at least has SAFe certs or „Product Owner“ in their resume, so I can filter them out quickly to not consider.

It seems genuinely hard to find experienced Product Managers in Europe. What‘s even harder is finding software engineers who are actually more than programmers and take an active part in discovery activities.

Any tips or ideas on what to put in the job description or what the phrasing of job titles should look like to find the right people?

I was thinking about Product Software Engineer instead of Software Engineer, but I fear that this is not a common enough term for good candidates to find.

For Product Managers I already have HR filter out red flags as the ones I mentioned above, but any idea where the really good folks can be found?

TribeCrafter is a SaaS community platform for creators and coaches. Think Circle or Skool, built differently. The tech is shipping. What we need now is a PM who can run the beta and get us to paying customers. We need to find the segment that actually pays.

Quick context: I've run Quvor as a services business since 2016. TribeCrafter is my first product. I need someone who's launched products before. We need to figure things out together.

The role

  • Define the beta cohort, activation criteria, and conversion playbook
  • Drive the product roadmap: what ships next, what we cut, what we wait on
  • Sit in on UX and design calls
  • Push back when my call is wrong

A pm2 vacancy opened in my team and I am receiving a lot of PM resumes but most of them are missing even the basics unfortunately.

  1. Writing just responsibilities - "worked with engineers/ designers" "did customer interviews" "conducted standups" ok but what changed because of you?

  2. Too generic bullets and no numbers. “improved user experience”, “drove growth”. what exactly did you improve? even rough numbers is better than none but ideally add proper product impact.

  3. Lack of clarify of company, role, and growth. "Improved adoption to 50 customers" does not mean anything unless its clear what the company is doing, you own something and not just being guided, and base (from 0 to 50 or 45 to 50). Mention briefly about company, role before numbers.

  4. Going hard core on all features - listing all features and the details. List 2-3 features and talk about the product process. Not every hiring manager is in your domain and they won't understand anything.

  5. Overuse of jargon/AI slop - stakeholders, synergy, alignment; so much text but conveys no meaning.

  6. Same resume everywhere with same message "can you refer me?" - customize at least the summary. Send a proper message. If you don't want to work for yourself, why would others work for you?

I have applied to almost 500 jobs so far, and received zero callbacks. I am not sure what's not working, is my profile too weak?? I have even optimized my LinkedIn.

Roles I'm targeting: Product Manager (primary), Project manager, Program manager and roles along the lines.

Got about 2.5 years of experience in an MNC, a product based company at that.

I'm starting to get frustrated right now not seeing the needle move. I want my resume to at least get h me interviews so that I can move on from just applying ruthlessly.

I'm targeting roles in either Bangalore or remote, but I'm applying to other locations nonetheless.

Please give me an honest feedback on how I can fetch interviews, I am on multiple job boards asw, nothing's helping.
