Our talent advisors expedite every step to minimize time-to-hire while ensuring perfect fit.

What's included in your UI/UX Designer vetting process?

Our comprehensive 5-step vetting process includes portfolio submission and review, technical assessments covering design tools and principles, expert evaluation of visual and interaction design quality, live design challenges testing problem-solving and user-centered thinking, and behavioral interviews assessing communication and collaboration skills.

How does the AI-backed matching work?

Our human-matched, AI-backed process combines technology efficiency with expert judgment. Our AI aggregator analyzes your requirements—including technical skills, industry experience, design style preferences, timezone needs, and cultural fit—then instantly searches our database of 20,000+ verified candidates. The AI surfaces top matches based on portfolio quality, past project success, client ratings, and availability. Then, our experienced talent advisors review these matches, conduct additional screening, and personally recommend 3-5 candidates who best align with your specific needs. This hybrid approach delivers the speed of automation (60-second initial matching) with the accuracy of human expertise, resulting in our 97% client satisfaction rate.

What if the UI/UX Designer doesn't work out?

We stand behind every placement with our satisfaction guarantee. For contract engagements, we offer a trial period (typically 1-2 weeks) where you can evaluate the designer's work quality, communication, and cultural fit with minimal risk. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll quickly provide alternative candidates at no additional cost. For direct hires, we offer replacement guarantees within the first 90 days. Our 97% client satisfaction rate reflects our commitment to perfect matches, but if issues arise, your dedicated talent advisor provides immediate support to resolve concerns or find better-suited candidates. No upfront fees means you're never locked into unsuccessful placements.
