Frequently asked questions about hiring your next product designer
Look for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in design, HCI, or a related field. They should have a strong portfolio demonstrating UX/UI design skills, proficiency in design tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch), and experience with user research and prototyping.
Evaluate the diversity of projects, problem-solving approach, and design thinking process. Look for clear explanations of design decisions, user-centered solutions, and the ability to balance aesthetics with functionality.
Key technical skills include proficiency in design software, wireframing, prototyping, and basic understanding of HTML/CSS. Familiarity with design systems and accessibility guidelines is also valuable.
While industry experience can be beneficial, it’s not always necessary. Focus on the candidate’s ability to adapt, learn quickly, and apply design thinking to various contexts. Transferable skills and a diverse portfolio can be more valuable than specific industry experience.
Look for excellent communication skills, empathy, collaboration abilities, and problem-solving aptitude. A good Product Designer should be able to work effectively with cross-functional teams and translate complex ideas into simple, user-friendly designs.
Ask about their experience with various research methods (e.g., user interviews, surveys, usability testing). Request examples of how they’ve incorporated user feedback into their designs and how they balance user needs with business goals.
Ask about their design process, how they handle feedback and iteration, their experience with design systems, and how they measure the success of their designs. Also, include questions about challenging projects they’ve worked on and how they overcame obstacles.
Yes, a design challenge can be valuable for assessing a candidate’s skills in a practical setting. Keep it reasonable in scope and time commitment. This could involve redesigning a feature, creating a prototype, or presenting a case study.
Include team members in the interview process, discuss your company values, and ask behavioral questions to gauge cultural fit. Consider a trial project or short-term contract to assess how well they integrate with your team.
