I'm really sorry for all the junior designers who have to deal with these job openings while just starting their career. Some excerpts from the list of expectations : - Minimum 2 years of experience in high viability consumer apps - Do everything design-related: from appstore screenshots to conducting research, designing user flows etc - Autonomous management of your design process from idea to execution - Handling multiple complex projects at the same time at the fast pace - Portfolio exhibiting great visual design execution - Stakeholders management/presentation skills Am I missing something or seems like these days everyone wants a senior person for a price of a part-time student? I know designers with 15 years of experience who's bad in half of those things and still considered great team members and talented pros.

What level should we hire a Founding Product Designer? In my experience, I've seen a higher rate of success when the company commits to hiring a Snr (and beyond) Level Designer. That Seniority of experience brings expertise primarily in the form of speed. They are faster, they know the way through (because they've navigated failures already) and they are able to get Your Product to market and to Customers faster and more effectively than a less experienced Designer. When growing and scaling is key to your businesses success, it's a huge value add to bring in the experience levels you need. It'll be far more worth it - I've seen it, many times! #designhiring #foundingdesigner

It may be the middle of the summer, but our hiring team is not slowing down! 🍹 ⛱️ This time we’re looking for a Product Designer! 🎨 Do you have what it takes? You can see the detailed list of requirements here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dhu3jVNR In a nutshell, it boils down to this: 🧠 you know what product users want; ✨ you know how to give it to them! #Hiring #ProductDesigner #UXDesigner

A 'Senior Product Designer' could have: 4 years of experience at one company. 7 years of experience at another company. 10 years of experience at another company. A 'Senior Product Designer' could be paid: £60k base at one company. £90k base at another company. £120k base at another company. The truth is that levels have become pretty irrelevant, especially since the industry has been through a whirlwind and there's a larger fluctuation between levels and salary packages than we've ever seen before. Keep this in mind when your company is using external benchmarking documents to dictate what salaries you're offering. 👉 Is the benchmarking level of seniority the same as yours? 👉 A senior at one company could be at mid-weight at yours or visa versa. 👉 Product Designers - don't be too put off by a title. Explore what the role entails and offers. 👉 If you move from one company to another and are hiring, get to grips quickly with your new company's level of seniority compared to what you're used to. It could save you a lot of wasted time when recruiting.

Over 100/200/500 applicants on the job posting. Should you apply? I will share real numbers on the 3 last roles I was hiring for. In June, I posted 3 jobs on Linkedin: - Senior UX Designer, US-remote - Staff Product Designer, Europe-remote - Product Design Director,  US-remote I received 400+ applications in the first days of posting these roles. The numbers are in the carousel 👉 ………............................... My friends and candidates keep saying: “There are so many applicants for this role already, I don’t think I should apply” In fact, on average 85% of the resumes do not pass the minimum requirements bar. Out of the remaining 15%, most won’t qualify either. With design roles, it’s usually about the portfolio. ………............................... So, next time you come across a job listing that seems perfect for you, don’t let the number of applicants hold you back.  If you meet the requirements and believe you can add value: Please, APPLY 🙏 #careers #hiring #hiringtrends #jobapplication #linkedintips
