Frequently asked questions about hiring your next UX designer
Key skills include user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing. Look for proficiency in design tools like Figma or Sketch, knowledge of UX best practices, and strong problem-solving abilities. Soft skills such as empathy, communication, and collaboration are equally important.
Look for diverse projects that demonstrate problem-solving skills. Pay attention to the designer’s process, including research methods, ideation, and iteration. Check if they can articulate the rationale behind their design decisions and show measurable improvements in user experience.
UX (User Experience) design focuses on the overall feel of the product, including user research, information architecture, and interaction design. UI (User Interface) design is more about the visual elements and layout. While they’re distinct roles, many designers have skills in both areas.
While not always necessary, basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript can be beneficial. It helps designers understand technical constraints and communicate more effectively with developers. However, strong design skills and UX knowledge are generally more crucial.
Ask about their design process, how they handle user research, and how they measure the success of their designs. Pose scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving skills. Inquire about past projects, challenges they’ve faced, and how they collaborate with other team members.
This depends on your needs. A generalist can handle various aspects of UX and might be suitable for smaller teams or startups. A specialist (e.g., in UX research or interaction design) might be better for larger organizations with specific, complex UX needs.
As of 2024, entry-level UX designers in the US typically earn between $60,000 and $80,000 annually, while experienced designers can earn $90,000 to $150,000 or more. Salaries can vary based on location, industry, and specific skills. Always research current market rates in your area.
Look for candidates with good communication skills and experience working in cross-functional teams. Ask about their experience with design handoff processes and tools. Consider including a team member from development in the interview process to assess compatibility.
Common tools include Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD for design and prototyping; InVision or ProtoPie for interactive prototypes; and tools like UsabilityHub or Optimal Workshop for user research and testing. Familiarity with project management tools like Jira or Trello is also beneficial.
