Hire UI/UX Designers

Hire dedicated product designers, UX researchers and design system experts — embedded in your team within 1–2 weeks.

The short answer

HandsOnTech lets you hire ui/ux designers with senior specialists — embedded in your Slack and repo, overlapping U.S. business hours, with foundational SEO and schema built into every web deliverable.

Why teams hire ui/ux designers instead of recruiting

A full-time search for a senior ui/ux designer takes three to six months — recruiter fees, interview loops, a notice period, and a coin-flip on fit. Meanwhile the roadmap doesn't wait. Hiring dedicated through HandsOnTech inverts the math: you interview a vetted senior this week, they're embedded in your Slack and standups within two, and if the fit isn't right you swap or stop instead of restarting a six-month cycle. You get tested flows, developer-ready Figma files and design decisions your engineers can build without guessing — without adding permanent headcount before the workload justifies it.

What a senior ui/ux designer actually does for you

Your dedicated ui/ux designer works inside your tools and your process, joins sprint planning, demos working output every two weeks, and documents decisions so knowledge stays with your team.

How we vet before you ever meet them

The staffing-industry trick is showing you a strong resume and staffing a different person. We don't run a bench of anonymous juniors — the specialists we place are the same seniors who ship our own client work. Vetting means work samples from shipped products — including the usability findings that changed the design, not just the final screens. The person you interview is the person who shows up on day one, covered by NDA and full IP assignment from the first hour. The risk we screen out is a portfolio that photographs well but has never survived contact with real users or a real sprint cadence — the expensive lesson most teams learn one bad contract too late.

Pricing and how to start

Dedicated engagements are quoted as a flat monthly rate based on seniority and hours of overlap you need — in writing, before you commit, with no recruiter percentage or agency markup maze. Most placements start within one to two weeks of the intro call. Tell us the stack, the sprint goals and the hours, and we'll propose the specialist and a start date within two business days — or tell you honestly if we don't have the right person, instead of staffing a warm body.

How hiring works

From intro call to embedded — in two weeks

No six-month recruiter search, no staffing-agency markup maze.

Day 0

Intro call

Tell us the role, stack and hours you need. We ask the questions a recruiter wouldn’t know to ask.

Day 2–3

Meet your specialist

You interview the actual person — portfolio, code, communication. No bait-and-switch with a different face on day one.

Week 1

Embedded and working

NDA and IP assignment signed, access granted, first tickets picked up. They join your standup like any teammate.

Week 2

First demo

Working output in the sprint review. If the fit isn’t right, swap or stop — you only continue if it’s working.
