Roy van Balen (47)
Former UX lead, founder
As a UX/Product Design Lead, I've worked for Schiphol Airport, Philips, Adidas, and 50+ other organisations, including SaaS startups, scale-ups, and agencies.
Here's what I learned:
- Attracting the best UX professionals requires deep knowledge of the UX field.
- Traditional recruitment is unsuitable for this because someone without any industry experience has to attract candidates and even make the preselection for you.
- This has all types of consequences, such as a long and stressful recruitment process, overlooking top talent, hiring unfit UX professionals, higher development costs, needing more guidance, bigger and costlier mistakes, more rework, slower velocity, more customer care tickets, lower customer satisfaction, customer churn, lower conversion rates, lower customer lifetime value, failing marketing and sales targets, dissatisfied stakeholders, and so on. The list of consequences is endless.
That’s why I started Found UX in 2019.
The first and only recruitment company with in-house UX expertise.
Since then, we’ve helped to sustainably fill 250+ UX vacancies.
Because of our professional and high quality process we realise this almost every time in 1 to 2 candidates, in rare cases in 3.
Are you a manager, director, COO or Head of? Do you want to hire better and better-matching UX professionals, in much less time?
In that case, please schedule a no-pressure Meet & Greet (30 mins) in my calendar.
Then I’ll explain how we work and what the costs are.
I can already promise you that the rates for our specialised services are no higher than those of generic agencies you may already be working with.
Should you decide to engage Found UX, we can get started quickly. If not, that’s absolutely fine as well. Either way, I look forward to speaking with you!
Kind regards,
Roy van Balen
