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.

Ways to work with us

Our commitments

What you can hold us to

Not adjectives, terms. Each of these is written into the engagement before you sign.

Fixed price, in writing, before work starts

You own everything on final payment

Source code, Figma files, content and analytics access transfer to you when the final invoice clears. No license fees, no vendor lock-in, and no platform you can only edit by paying us.

A 30-day bug warranty, in the contract

Bugs found in the first month after go-live are fixed free. It is a contractual term rather than a sales promise, and it is the reason we would rather ship correctly than ship early.

FAQs

Hiring FAQ

Why hire UI/UX designers from HandsOnTech?

You get senior specialists embedded in your team, not junior bench rotation. The people we place are the same seniors who ship our own client work, so what you get is research plans, tested flows, high-fidelity screens and documented Figma components your engineers can build without guessing. Direct Slack access, daily U.S. hours overlap and sprint-based delivery, without signing a long agency contract.

How fast can we hire UI/UX designers?

Most dedicated roles start within 1–2 weeks of the intro call. We match stack, overlap hours and sprint goals before day one, and you should expect a heuristic review and a usability session in the first sprint, so you see judgment before you see pixels.

Should we hire dedicated talent or buy a fixed-price project?

Choose a dedicated designer when design work is continuous: a roadmap of features that each need flows, a design system to maintain, ongoing usability testing. Choose a fixed-price project when the scope is a bounded artifact, a redesign or a UX audit with a defined end.

What is the engagement model and how is it priced?

A flat monthly rate based on seniority and the hours of overlap you need, quoted in writing before you commit, with no recruiter percentage and no agency markup maze. Scale up or down with two weeks’ notice. If the fit is not right in the first sprints you swap or stop, so a bad hire costs you two weeks instead of six months.

Do you work U.S. business hours?

Yes. Every engagement guarantees daily overlap with your time zone, Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific, so standups, sprint reviews and pairing happen during your working day. Contracts, invoicing and IP assignment run through Hands On Technologies, a U.S. entity headquartered in Sacramento, California.

Do we interview the actual person who will do the work?

Yes. The specialist you interview is the specialist who starts, with their real portfolio, code and communication in front of you, not a recruiter’s summary of someone you never meet. NDA and full IP assignment are signed before day one.

Is SEO included when we hire developers?

Foundational SEO is baked into every web deliverable: clean URLs, meta structure, schema markup, GA4 and Core Web Vitals targets. Ongoing SEO, AEO and content programs are scoped separately as a service engagement.

Is this remote or on-site?

Remote-first with video standups during your business hours. On-site workshops in major U.S. metros are available by arrangement from our Sacramento, California headquarters.

How do we start?
