UX Team Resourcing Strategy
Shape your UX dream team.
Maybe you’ve got the nod from your executive team to onboard some UX talent. Or maybe you’re trying to get the nod.
Either way, you’ve got lots of decisions to make. How do you put together the UX dream team that will hit today’s goals, and grow to achieve tomorrow’s missions?
We can help you make that plan. We’ve been running our own UX team since 2012, and we work closely with organizations of all sizes, in all industries. We’re constantly monitoring what’s happening in the UX talent market. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.
We can help you determine who to hire, when to hire, and how to make your hires successful, all tailored to your organization’s stage and situation.
It takes more than spots on an org chart for UX talent to thrive.
Our Principal Consultants provide well-rounded council about growing your UX capabilities. It’s not just org charts. The effort can include:
Needs Assessment: In collaborative workshops or individual interviews, we gather an understanding of your org chart and your stakeholder needs. This helps us identify the talents and skills you'll need to make your UX shine.
Team Structures: Many of our clients have UX roles in more than one department. We’ll help you identify the right teams for your organization, how they might be organized, and how they’ll relate to one another.
Resource Types: Some of our clients go down the path of building fully in-house teams. Others leverage agencies and freelancers. There are pros and cons to each option and each combination. We’ll help you identify the best type(s) of hire for your organization.
Role Definition: Titles and job descriptions are more than just labels; we help you establish both the roles and the expectations for each.
Hiring Recommendations: What should you ask (or not ask) in interviews? We’ve processed a lot of applications and learned a lot about what works. We can help you identify what to look for, and what you shouldn’t stress over.
Growth and Development: Hiring UXers means managing their performance, and contributing to their ongoing growth and development. An organization that hires UXers without a plan to nurture them will eventually be dissatisfied with the outcomes. We’ll help you identify the management and development structure you’ll need.
Compensation Guidance: We offer insights into industry pay scales and benefits to keep your team happy and motivated.
Timeline Planning: Timing is everything. We help you plan your hiring phases in line with your company's growth and needs.
Case Building: Lastly, we'll arm you with a rock-solid business case to ensure continued executive buy-in.
