Why Work with Consortia for UX Executive Search?

1. Priority Access to Vetted UX Talent
   When you partner with us on a retained search, we prioritise your vacancy exclusively. Candidates we approach for your role are not considered for other positions until you have fully assessed them. This ensures focused attention and first access to high-potential UX researchers, design leads, interaction designers, and strategic product designers.
2. Fair and Clear Search Fee Structure
   Our pricing model avoids the unpredictability of per-placement fees. We begin with a flat upfront engagement cost, and any further charges are only applied once you make a hire—regardless of how many roles you fill from our shortlist. This transparent structure supports long-term recruitment planning.
3. End-to-End Process Run by Senior Experts
   Backed by over two decades in UX and digital recruitment, our senior consultants personally manage every stage:

• Collaborative planning to define role expectations and priorities
• Targeted outreach and in-depth candidate evaluation
• Insightful progress reporting with market intelligence
• Interview coordination, feedback handling, and final-stage support

You’ll have a dedicated partner through each step, helping you secure hires you’re fully confident in.

4. Targeted Delivery in a Timely Manner
   With a live network of engaged talent and refined search tools, we can keep your roadmap on track, delivering relevant shortlists in agreed timelines to suit you.

UX Hiring Market

In today’s market, more UX professionals are exploring opportunities—whether due to restructures, career shifts, or broader economic conditions. At the same time, investment in innovation has slowed, reducing the number of leadership roles and increasing competition for standout positions.

For companies, this creates a twofold challenge: sifting through high volumes of applicants while also reaching passive, highly qualified individuals who aren’t actively applying. This is where executive search becomes particularly valuable.

Our retained search model is designed to navigate these conditions—quickly identifying, engaging, and securing the right UX leaders who are not only available but truly aligned with your goals.

We also assist clients with role scoping, benchmarking, and team structure planning to ensure every hire supports long-term product and user experience success.

Let’s Build Your UX Team Together

Whether you’re hiring a Director of UX, a visionary Product Designer, or a specialist User Researcher, our executive search model is built to deliver results. We also support interim and project-based hires where needed.
