Pricing

Free for talent. Paid by the teams doing the hiring.

Three ways to work with us. You can use one, or all three — there is no bundle, no minimum term on the directory, and no percentage taken out of anyone's contract.

Project leaders never pay a fee. Not to apply, not to be reviewed, not to stay listed.

Line 02

Delivery Pods

From $38k/ month · 2–4 operators

A curated pod assembled around one outcome — ERP, transformation, PMO setup, recovery, or launch.

  • Composition curated against your brief
  • One accountable lead, one contract, one invoice
  • Defined outcome, cadence, and exit criteria
  • Replacement inside 10 business days if fit fails
  • Scoped per engagement — indicative range only
Right fit when

Programs that need a team, not a hire — and an owner who is accountable for the outcome.

Line 03

Assessment as a Service

$2,400/ candidate

Run our 8-stage review on candidates you sourced yourself. You get the scorecard; we take no fee on the hire.

  • Full 8-stage review, same rubric as the network
  • Work sample scored against your actual context
  • Live interview with a senior PM practitioner
  • Written scorecard with decision rationale
  • Volume pricing from 5 candidates
Right fit when

Teams with a pipeline already, but no confident way to tell strong PMs from good interviewers.

The model

We're not in the middle of the relationship.

PM Talent is not a recruiter and not an employer. We do the assessment work once, publish the evidence, and let hiring teams find people who already cleared it. That's the whole product.

No placement fee
You contract directly with the person you found. We take no percentage.
No candidate fees
Applying and staying listed is free, permanently.
No exclusivity
Talent can be listed here and work anywhere else at the same time.
No lock-in
Directory seats are monthly. Cancel and keep any shortlists you exported.
Common questions

Do project leaders ever pay?

No. Applying, being reviewed, and holding a verified profile are free and always will be. Every fee on this page is paid by hiring teams. We think charging the people being assessed would compromise the review — and in most US states it would make us a licensed employment agency.

Do you take a cut of a placement?

No. If you find someone through Directory Access, you contract with them directly at whatever rate you agree. We don't take a percentage, we don't hold the contract, and we don't have circumvention clauses. Pods are the exception — there we contract the team and carry delivery accountability, which is priced into the engagement.

What happens if a hire doesn't work out?

For Directory Access we don't guarantee outcomes — we guarantee the review was real and the evidence is visible. For Pods, if an operator isn't the right fit we replace them within 10 business days at no additional cost.

Can we trial the directory first?

Yes. A 14-day evaluation seat gives you full search and scorecard access. No card required, and it doesn't roll into a subscription automatically.
