About YUJ Designs

YUJ Designs is a leading Experience Design company that solves complex business challenges through deep design thinking and consulting. We operate at the intersection of UX, service design, system thinking, and AI, with a strong presence across B2B, B2C and enterprise domains. With over 150+ employees, our vision is to create measurable impact through design and shape the next era of digital businesses.

Why This Role Matters

We’re hiring for impact. You’ll own and lead our end-to-end talent acquisition efforts, especially for UX, visual, front-end, and leadership roles. You won’t just post jobs—you’ll understand the nuances of each role, align closely with Account Managers, Design Directors, HR, and the Management Team, and bring in talent that reflects the values, attitude, and consulting mindset YUJ stands for.

This is a strategic hiring role where success is defined by quality of hires, speed without compromise, and the ability to build a strong pipeline of professionals who can thrive in our culture of ownership, velocity, and design thinking.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with business and delivery leaders to understand upcoming business needs and role specifics.

• Develop and execute targeted sourcing strategies across user experience, visual design (UI), front-end, and tech-AI hybrid roles.

• Drive a consultative hiring process with clear evaluation frameworks, attitude checks, and deep role understanding.

• Build strong rapport with internal stakeholders—from Design Directors to the CEO— to stay aligned on team dynamics and future plans.

• Bring visibility to hiring health through regular reports, dashboards, and candidate pipelines.

• Proactively solve hiring bottlenecks with agility, not escalation.

• Build an internal bench of ready-to-hire talent for niche roles in design, consulting, and tech-enabled UX.

• Be the face of YUJ to external talent—sharing our story, work, and culture with precision and inspiration.

Who You are

• 8–12 years of experience in strategic hiring, in design, front-end tech, or creative industries.

• Strong eye for assessing attitude, potential, and consulting aptitude—not just resume hygiene.

• High ownership and ability to navigate ambiguity while maintaining speed and quality.

• Hands-on experience with hiring tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, ATS systems) and outbound sourcing.

• Comfortable interfacing with senior stakeholders and aligning talent goals with business growth.

• Prior experience hiring for creative, front-end, UX, User Interface Designers or product roles is a strong advantage.

• Excellent communication skills—written, verbal, and presentational.

You’ll Thrive If You...

• Believe hiring is not a transactional function—it’s a strategic responsibility.

• Can differentiate a designer who “executes” from one who influences.

• Want to work in a culture that values autonomy, accountability, and transformation.

• Are proactive, assertive, and ready to be the voice of hiring at YUJ.
