We were facing an uphill battle to rebrand our organization, build a net-new website, and develop a marketing strategy that would tie everything together. Our consultant from 2A Works created a plan to point us in the right direction and worked super fast to get us ready for launch.

How it works
From the blog
What makes 2A Works different from other product management recruitment agencies?
We’ve partnered with product teams for more than a decade to support their innovative work. That experience gives us a clear view into how product teams collaborate, how work moves from concept to delivery, and what strong team fit looks like in practice. As a product management recruiting agency, we focus on identifying candidates who can bring clarity to decisions and keep teams aligned as work evolves.
What types of roles does your product manager recruiting agency specialize in?
We support a range of product hiring needs, from individual contributors to leadership roles. If you’re hiring for a specific role or building out a product team, we can help define the position and identify candidates who align with your goals.
Do you offer both product manager staffing and recruitment services?
Yes. We offer flexible contract staffing for short- and long-term needs, as well as direct hire recruiting for full-time roles. Whether you’re filling a short-term gap or building a long-term team, we can tailor our approach to fit your goals.
How fast can your recruitment company fill open product roles?
Once we’ve aligned on the role and requirements, we typically present a shortlist of vetted candidates within two to 10 days. Timelines can vary based on role complexity and your internal hiring process.
What’s your replacement policy if a hire doesn’t work out?
If a placed candidate leaves or is not a fit within the first 90 days, we’ll replace them at no additional cost. You’ll continue working with the same recruiter to ensure consistency and a smooth handoff.
How does your product management recruitment agency vet candidates before shortlisting them for open client roles?
All shortlisted candidates are phone screened by our experienced recruiters to confirm their skills, background, communication abilities, and fit for the role. Depending on the position, we may also review portfolios, request work samples, or use technical assessments to evaluate capabilities.
How does 2A Works recruit diverse talent?
We take a thoughtful, proactive approach to building diverse teams. That includes writing inclusive job descriptions, sourcing from diverse candidate networks, and actively reviewing our process to reduce bias. We also build long-term relationships with professionals from underrepresented backgrounds to expand access and representation across our talent pool.
What information do your recruiters need to get started?
To kick off a search, we’ll need details about the role’s responsibilities, required experience, target compensation, and whether it’s remote, hybrid, or in-person. We also work to understand your team’s workflow, brand voice, and goals, because the more context we have, the better equipped we are to find the right fit.
