Who or what is P3M Recruitment?
P3M Recruitment is a specialist recruitment agency dedicated to Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management (P3M) roles. Born out of the expertise of Stoneseed, we help organisations hire top-tier Project Managers, Business Analysts, PMO specialists, and more — both permanent and contract — to build high-performing project teams.

Why was P3M Recruitment created?
After years of successfully delivering Project Management as a Service (PMaaS) through Stoneseed, clients increasingly asked us to help with permanent and contract recruitment. P3M Recruitment was created to meet this demand, offering dedicated recruitment services with the same expertise, insight, and quality assurance that clients trust from Stoneseed.

What roles does P3M Recruitment specialise in?
We focus exclusively on Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management roles. This includes Project Managers, Programme Managers, Portfolio Directors, Business Analysts, PMO specialists, Change Managers, and Transformation Consultants. Whether you need permanent hires or contract professionals, we’ve got you covered.

How is P3M Recruitment different from generalist recruitment agencies?
Unlike generalist recruiters, P3M Recruitment is led by experts in IT project delivery. We understand the nuances of project roles and the importance of cultural fit, leadership style, and technical capabilities. Our process ensures you receive candidates who not only meet the brief on paper but who will also thrive in your environment.

Do you only recruit for permanent positions?
No. P3M Recruitment covers both permanent and contract project roles. Whether you’re scaling up quickly for a transformation programme or building a long-term team, we can provide flexible recruitment solutions tailored to your project needs.

Can you help with urgent project staffing needs?
Yes, absolutely. Thanks to our strong network of project professionals and close ties with Stoneseed, we can respond quickly to urgent requirements — whether it’s interim support, contract roles, or fast-track permanent hires.

Do you recruit for industries outside of IT?
While we have deep roots in IT and digital transformation, our expertise spans multiple sectors. We successfully place project talent across industries such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, construction, professional services, and the public sector.

What is your approach to candidate quality and selection?
We apply an extremely thorough and careful selection process, combining market insight with detailed candidate profiling. Our team interviews every candidate thoroughly, validating technical skills, project experience, and cultural alignment before shortlisting. Our goal is always quality over quantity.

How do you ensure a good cultural fit for our organisation?
Cultural fit is a critical part of our selection process. We take time to understand your organisation’s values, leadership style, and project environment. This insight enables us to present candidates who will integrate seamlessly with your team and drive successful project outcomes.
