Feedback from Interaction Design Studio
Our collective work of ensuring the customer enjoys a great experience through user focused design and practices has come a long way in a few short years. These are unsettled times and though there is still strong demand for our services I see that rates and salaries are down approximately 20% while requirements, especially in years of experience, for these positions have increased. This makes it especially difficult for graduates and juniors to enter the profession.
Recently the Interaction Design Studio required a full-time employee in addition to our contractors and placed an ad on You the User. It was my privilege to meet so many enthusiastic candidates and due to the high quality of applicants we have now decided to take on two people. You the User also makes it easy for project managers, creative directors, agency owners etc. to source user experience personnel and service providers such as ixdStudio directly which means money gets spent on actual projects rather than on recruitment costs.
Thanks again,
