Here's the solution: Bring in design leadership (and PM) + Sr. designers
You're hitting two birds with one stone here. A killer deal. That's what we offer at Abram Digital. Shoot me a DM and let's talk about it.
I've seen more "I can't find a Sr. Product Designer, the industry is fixed because of AI, etc., etc." than I want to admit. Each with over 100 replies from well-qualified designers. Here's the problem: expectations.
Not from the recruiter but from leadership.
Now that Jr. roles are essentially disappearing, every designer is a unicorn in their own way. Unbelievable expectations + overly inflated job posts = a barrage of qualified designers who'll get rejected by leadership after 4 rounds anyway.
One of the best things you can do for your business is to obsess over what your customers want and need. Not every tech founder wants product design, but most need it for their customers' sake.
Accepting 2 new product design partners for July and 1 for Aug. $7.5k/month. Includes 2 designers + PM. Good for SaaS and newly funded startups. AI-friendly but not our hotspot.
DM for details.
@trentjhughes Marketing company. go local. simple to run during the day and he can keep clients under 10 and be okay time-wise. chill at night/weekends. set hrs upfront.
@itsthewealth4me +1 on the education. It's slept on these days, but will be needed in the future depending on that person's goals. Have to remember it's never too late.
