Hang Xu - Radically Reinventing Design Recruitment
Manage episode 386096206 series 3293389
Hang Xu shares why he’s trying to make recruitment more ethical, how candidates can secure the best possible compensation, and what to watch out for when working with recruiters.
Highlights include:
- Why is it important to always go for the maximum salary available?
- What can a candidate do to positively influence a levelling decision?
- Why do candidates with the same skills get paid vastly different amounts?
- Do you still believe that candidates should sometimes go back on their word?
- What is pre-closing and why don’t you feel that it’s a fair recruitment practice?
======
Who is Hang Xu?
Hang is a former product designer who, in late in 2022, became the founding talent agent of Collective Supply 👻, a recruitment agency that matches senior UX talent with companies who have ethical hiring practices.
Collective Supply believes that - in their own words - “the interview process should be ethical, transparent and respectful”, and they promise not to “shoehorn designers into crappy roles”, just so they can collect a commission.
Before founding Collective Supply, Hang was a Senior Staff UX Designer at Boston Dynamics, one of the world’s leading robotics companies. There, Hang led the UX, UI and service design for the company’s first warehouse automation robot, called Stretch.
Hang also previously worked as a Product Design Lead for Diligent Corporation, Principal UX Lead for Gemini.com, and Product Designer for Bloomberg.
