We got the best candidates through working with DesignBake. It felt really catered and personalized to us…I also felt like we got people who just weren’t on the market yet. They were sort of the voice of design as a part of the interview process which I thought was really critical because I’m not a designer. DesignBake just fills a very different need than what exists on the market…I’ll be back for more roles.
We started the process with the DesignBake team, and in a few short weeks we were extending an offer. I was skeptical, given it had taken us so long as a team previously, but DesignBake really got us aligned and honed in on what we wanted in our ideal candidate. This not only helped the process move faster but allowed them to screen candidates to only bring candidates they felt were A players to us.
