Senior Product Design Manager and respected UX community contributor Mitch Clements shares how he created an attentive, fair, and effective hiring process to scale his 26-person (and counting!) design team at Encino. UX hiring managers and job seekers will appreciate Mitch's reflections on:
- Lessons learned on screening and interviewing candidates in a crowded market, from entry level to advanced practitioners
- The necessity of implementing a career architecture framework and standardized assessment rubrics to streamline the process and set expectations
- The importance of empathy, communication, transparency in creating a high quality hiring experience
- What Mitch looks for when hiring senior designers/IC’s and design managers
- Why portfolios should NOT be a requirement for applications!
- How posting on LinkedIn can help hiring managers attract design candidates
- Optimistic predictions for a resurgence of UX hiring… sometime down the road
