Hiring a good product designer is a real challenge. If you're not a designer yourself, how are you supposed to judge one? You might be asking yourself: Should I consider their years in the industry? Does a beautiful portfolio guarantee the right fit? Can I even trust these criteria?

I get it. Even at Eleken Design Agency, it took us years and dozens of designers to refine our own hiring process.

Today, I'm here to share all that experience with you. So, join me as we dig into the criteria that startups often rely on when hiring a designer – the good, the bad, and the not-so-obvious.
