Hot Seat: Recruiter Edition With Carl Wheatley - The UX Chat!
Oh my god… guess what 👀
We’re bringing Carl Wheatley to UX Chats!!!
Carl is a Product Design Recruiter and he’s joining us for a very real, very useful, and slightly nerve-wracking session on what hiring actually looks like from the recruiter’s side.
We’re going to talk about:
What recruiters actually look for
What hiring managers care about
Salary conversations and expectations
Common mistakes designers make while applying
Portfolio tips that actually matter
And the fun part…
We’re also doing Hot Seat: Recruiter Edition 🔥
A few brave volunteers will get the chance to share their answers to common interview questions like “Tell me about yourself” live with the group.
Carl will then give real-time feedback on what’s working, what feels unclear, and how to make the answer stronger, sharper, and more recruiter-friendly.
So yes, it’s a little scary… but in the best way possible.
Whether you’re actively job hunting, thinking about switching roles or just trying to understand how hiring really works behind the scenes, this session is for you.
