A few months ago, I started to mentor a few newbie Product Owner (PO) who are still suffering to find their next challenge, and I kept listening to the same old complaints that I had when I was starting my career. So, I joined forces with Luciana Pereira, a fantastic HR professional, seasonal and tech-savvy for her realm, to build an open-portfolio template. It is not a no-code experience, however we build in a way that no code-knowledge is required. Where does everyone go wrong? We chatted with more than twenty HR recruiters to understand their perceptions. A few learnings: - Portfolios with too many sparkles and BS information; - Keep simple, tell a short story. - How can I trust your information? Social proof is the way. - What are you looking for next? - How can I sell you to the hiring manager? - We were getting great information about the person recruiter they are looking for, how to sell, how competitive this market is, etc. We had two main insights: - Product Managers don’t treat themselves as a PRODUCT. - It is your first sell for a recruiter. They are likely not to read your entire portfolio, but they are more likely to read something than the hiring manager.
