Recruiter evaluation of Interaction Designer’s portfolio


Today we evaluate an interaction designer’s portfolio and UX work. Madison Green is a passionate product designer with a rich background in creating seamless mobile and web experiences for consumer-facing applications. She has 3+ years of experience, including working with Fortune 500 companies and dynamic startups. As usual I will highlight what UX recruiters and UX hiring managers look for when evaluating such a portfolio using emojis to indicate my emotions.

Let’s begin.

Takeaways:

  • Project headings need to be clear and understandable. Potentially incorporate the result into the heading for it to stand out.
  • What you name your project heading on the landing page should carry across into the detail view otherwise the recruiter will think they are in the wrong place. 
  • Provide clear imagery for project thumbnails if it’s a screen shot. It’s better to have a zoomed in image that shows features rather than a group of screens that are too small to show features.
  • Annotate wireframes and visual designs so that a recruiter knows what they are looking at. 
  • Avoid text heavy paragraphs which can be daunting to read for a recruiter. Instead highlight key points by bolding text or through use bullet points.
