- PopeDotNinja 7y agoI used to be a recruiter. I was never good at screening designers because I didn't know what to look for. Y'all have pretty portfolios and they all look the same to me. With that in mind, if you can bypass the HR screen and get in front of someone who can truly scan your credentials, do that. That's probably good advice in general, and is likely easier said than done, but I'm just sayin' it's a heck of a lot easier for me to teach someone how to screen a developer than a designer. Or maybe hire recruiters with better design sense than myself.
- jcomis 7y agoTotally, I hire myself and know how intensive it is to screen design and how difficult it is to train a non design to discern good/bad candidates (it's difficult even for some designers).
- cosmodisk 7y agoI'd agree with the recruiter,who responded to your comment earlier: every single designer out there has a portfolio that just blows your head away,because it's that good. Good looking shit is easy. What's not easy is the story how you got from point A,aka I need a corporate branding done,to point B,aka 'wow, who did this stuff for you?Can I get the number?' Focus on cases studies, client 'teaching' and etc.That will probably add another 27 seconds.
