Day 60 - 4 Tips When Hiring UX Designers (or anybody really)

What should you look for when hiring a UX designer?  A great portfolio? Of course. Did he or she come via a referral or someone you know and trust? Yes, that makes sense too. But in addition to these traditional approaches for hiring, try and see if your candidates fit this framework by probing deep with questions.

1. Are they reliable.
2. Do they get things done.
3. Are they smart.
4. Do you want to spend a lot of time with them.

If they don't meet this criteria you probably want to think about hiring somebody else.
