Why outsource your Project Manager?
Hiring a permanent PM is costly and slow. Recruitment takes months, onboarding another 3-6 months, and if they don't fit, you start over. For critical or temporary projects, you need certified expertise now, without the risk of a wrong hire.
You don't have an internal PM with enough experience
Your technical team is excellent, but managing a complex project requires a certified PM with experience in multiple similar projects. Training someone internal would take years.
Critical project can't wait 6 months of recruitment
Senior PM recruitment takes 3-4 months. Onboarding another 2-3 months. Your project must start NOW. You need a ready PM that integrates in days.
Hiring permanent PM is not justified
Project lasts 6-12 months. Hiring a permanent PM with $80K-120K/year salary plus benefits doesn't make sense. You need temporary expertise.
Previous project failed due to inexperienced PM
You already had a project that failed due to PM without methodology, no scope control, no risk management. You can't afford another failure. You need guaranteed expertise.
Alternative provides certified, experienced, and backed PMs. No hiring risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Speed (PM ready in days vs months of recruitment), flexibility (you hire only for project duration), guaranteed expertise (certification + proven experience), no risk of wrong hire, variable vs permanent fixed costs.
Training an internal PM takes 2-3 years of real experience in complex projects plus certification. For a project starting in weeks, you need proven expertise. Outsourcing gives you immediate access to PM with 5-15 years experience and current certifications, without training investment or learning curve risk in a critical project.
Both. Our PMs adapt to tools your company already uses (MS Project, Jira, Smartsheet, etc.). Additionally, Alternative provides templates, frameworks, and proven best practices that the PM can implement if your company doesn't have a formal structure.
Permanent PM implies: full annual salary, benefits (15-25% additional), recruitment costs, 3-6 month onboarding, risk if they don't fit. With outsourcing you pay only for project duration, productive PM from week 1, no permanent fixed costs. For temporary or first company projects, outsourcing ROI is significantly higher.
We do continuous QA. PM reports weekly to Alternative General Management on progress, risks, and blockers. We review critical deliverables (plans, schedules, reports). We ensure PM meets Alternative standards and client expectations. It's not "assign and forget".
Our PMs have cross-industry experience in: banking and financial services, technology and telecommunications, manufacturing and logistics, retail and commerce, health, energy. During initial diagnosis we identify PM with most relevant experience to your industry and specific project type.
