Help with assessing UX candidates
Got a pipeline of UX candidates? I help you identify and hire the best one in 5 hours of your time.
In a pipeline full of UX candidates, only a few are a good fit. And those often get lost if you don't have the right expertise, or not enough time.
Recruiters don't have the expertise, Heads-of and Managers not enough time.

Asessing UX candidates
The 4 major challenges
A pipeline full of UX candidates. Sounds good, but in practice 95% do not match the context well enough. And the 5% who do match are often gone within a few days. When you're assessing a pipeline of UX candidates, every day counts.
You start losing the best candidates in a matter of days
They are approached all the time, have multiple applications running, and get offers faster elsewhere.
Recruiters usually lack the right expertise
To assess how well a UX designer fits the context, you need experience in the field. Recruiters rarely have that.
Heads-of and managers don't have enough time
Assessing unsuitable candidates takes time. Every week the process takes longer, you lose suitable candidates.
Hiring a less good match costs you 100k additional each year
Hiring a UX designer who is 30% less aligned costs you 30% of your development capacity.
How I lower the risk
UX hiring is too important to let the first selection be handled by people who do not understand the field in depth. That is why I started Found UX in 2019.
20 years of experience as a UX designer
I have worked as a UX, UX/UI, Product and Design system designer across 50 contexts.
For start-ups, scale-ups, agencies and large organisations.
7 years of experience in UX hiring
It has now been 7 years since I started my journey to renew UX hiring.
I have helped 300 organisations and assessed 15,000 candidates.
Q-core UX candidate assessment
Q-core, my UX candidate assessment system, helps me quickly identify the top 5.
QCORE = Quality, Context, Outcome, Relevancy, Execution.
Technical interviews included
I conduct a technical interview with the top 5. In the end, I recommend the top 2 to you.
I do this with a clear rationale for internal use.
What you gain:
You lose less candidates
The lead time goes down and I respond faster, which reduces the risk of candidate drop-off.
You stay ahead of the competition, we move into the offer stage fast.
You fill your
role faster
Usually, candidate 1 or 2 that I recommend gets hired. Sometimes a third is needed.
With my help, it usually takes clients about 5 hours of their time.
You hire better candidates
I look at candidates differently than recruiters do.
You get more things done
You save the time you would spend on assessing candidates who are not a match.
Employees will start faster, and the recruiter is freed up for other roles.
Considering my help?
With 20 years of experience in UX and 7 in assessing UX candidates, I can work autonomously. I have the ability to fully understand your design context.
You'll fill your vacancy in 5 hours
The 5 hours it takes you are spent on the initial assessment and interviews with the top 2. I take care of the rest. I work independently and don't have to bother you.
45 min.
If we agree with the proposal, we can start.
15 min.
E.g. Recruitee, Homerun, Teamtailor, Greenhouse.

I recommend the top 2 with a clear rationale.

Or a third if needed, but that is rarely the case.
