How we detect a first Design hire

We classify every posting title into one of 41 role families. Design covers: product, ux/ui, brand and visual designers. We keep the full history of families each company has ever posted.

  • Observed: the family appeared on a board where we had previously recorded postings and never saw this family.
  • Inferred: on the first crawl of an established board (postings older than 60 days), the family has only 1–2 roles, all posted in the last 21 days.

Currently 569 Design roles are open across 136 companies — see all companies hiring Design.
