The req has been open since spring.
The shortlist is thin and every good candidate wants more than the band allows. Meanwhile the work the hire was meant to do is still sitting there. You don't need a headcount. You need the person.
- Your standups
- Your Figma
- Your design lead
- A senior designer
- Working screens
- Design QA
- The wider team
Numbers we'll stand behind on the call.
- +41%30-day retention
- 2.5x to 7xSTAAR math gains
- 150+products shipped since 2015
- 4.9on Clutch, from verified reviews
What we find
The role stayed open long enough that people stopped asking.
- Every strong candidate is out of band, and the ones in band need managing.
- Recruiter fees would cost more than a year of this.
- Headcount is frozen and the work isn't.
- You want to see real work before you commit to a person.
What you get
One senior designer, matched, working inside a week.
A designer from our team, embedded in yours. They sit in your standups, work in your Figma, and report to your design or product lead. Behind them is the rest of the team, so one person covers more ground than one person usually can.
- Put forward a named senior designer, not a rotating bench
- Match on your product type, not just who happens to be free
- Get them into your tools and rituals in week one
- Back them with the wider team for spikes and second opinions
- Include design QA with your engineers as part of the job
- Swap, scale or stop monthly, in writing

The call
Twenty minutes on the product and the team they'd sit in.
The match
A name, from people we already work with. You meet them first.
Week one
In your tools and shipping. No ramp-up you pay for.
Monthly
Keep them, swap them, add a second, or stop.
How fast can they start?
You get a name within a week, from people we already work with, and you meet them first. They're in your tools and shipping by the end of week one.
What if they're not the right fit?
Say so and we swap them. Each month you can keep them, swap them, add a second, or stop, in writing.
How does the cost compare to a hire?
From $7,500 a month, with no recruiter fee and no equity conversation. A senior product designer in the US averages $213K a year in total pay (Glassdoor, August 2026).
