Since earlier this year we at the UX Collective have been curating a talent board that companies can look at to fill their open roles. It’s all curated, invite-only, and you can choose to be public or anonymous.

How the process works

1. Submit your portfolio on the UX Collective Network website
2. Your submission will be reviewed by one of our editors
3. The best applications will will be featured in our Talent tab
4. Every month, we do a portfolio drop to senior designers and hiring managers working at some of the most exciting companies in our industry — including Netflix, Twitter, Twitch, Amazon, Autodesk, Cash App, Coursera, Docusign, Kayak, Meta/Facebook, Walmart, and more

Companies looking at the board every month

We have more than 20 companies who have been receiving portfolio drops every week, and many others who have been actively searching for candidates in our network — including brands like Showtime, Netflix, Google, Salesforce, Gusto, A16z, Magic, and other global players.

Tips for a great submission

Here are some attributes of what we consider to be a solid application.

Include a portfolio

• Make sure to include a portfolio link with at least 3 case studies in it
• Portfolio websites get more points than dribbble/behance, since websites allow you to tell a better story about each case study + about yourself

Introduce yourself

When submitting your application, make sure to write a paragraph mentioning:

• Your name and location
• What type of opportunity you’re looking for (e.g. full time, internship, in-person, remote, etc.)
• Your years of experience in design or other relevant areas
• Why companies should consider you to a position (i.e. your differentiators)

Include your Linkedin profile and photo

• Unless you’re specifically interested in remaining anonymous, adding your Linkedin and a profile photo helps companies feel confident that you’re a real person (e.g. not a bot).

This initiative is an exciting experiment for us, and we’re hopeful this will help people who have been affected by recent layoffs in tech companies—leveraging the power of our network to connect companies and designers, so they can ultimately build great things together.
