A project manager is not always a nine-to-five job. In fact, it hardly ever is — as a project manager at SignalHire, I know that for a fact. Here, I am not talking about working extra hours — even though, in my experience, it does happen on most complex projects. Still, managing something complex usually calls for some extra thinking — and that is a 24/7 job. Besides, with ever more people working remotely these days, it is not always easy to synchronize working hours. And, whenever an emergency occurs, it is up to the project manager to react — as quickly as possible.

Still, despite all challenges associated with project managing, this is a highly rewarding job. Even more so if you believe in projects you are leading. That is exactly why I am so excited with SignalHire as a project and its bright staff as a team. One of the first reasons I choose to jump on board is the unconventional approach to recruiting this tool allows. And, as a project manager, I know from experience that staffing a great team is a 50% success guarantee in any endeavor.

SignalHire is designed to create such teams. This is a recruiting tool that can help HR specialists handpick the best candidates for any job opening. On the face of it, the tool is simple. It is a browser plugin that can be integrated with LinkedIn and can pull candidates’ contact data in just a click. But in practice, SignalHire is way more versatile than just another contact finder.

The tool is based on a 400+ million database of verified professional contacts. When looking up candidates’ emails one-by-one, over LinkedIn, it does seem simple. But the database is a stand-alone product, and recruiters can easily compile large contact lists directly over the signalhire.com website. Right now, the database supports bulk search by industries, skill sets, experience, and plenty of other criteria HR specialists may find useful. More than that, it has team access for large recruiting divisions, which ensures data transparency and speeds most operations up. And we keep working to make this tool even better!
