How Recruiters Evaluate You in 2026 (for Designers & UXR)

​What your CV, portfolio, and applications really signal behind the scenes

​In this live session, I’ll walk you through how recruiters and hiring managers evaluate designers & uxr in 2026

• ​what they notice immediately,

• ​what they skim,

• ​what they ignore,

• ​and what quietly raises red flags long before an interview ever happens.

​I’ll break down what really happens when your CV and portfolio land in a recruiter’s inbox:

​
- how ATS systems are actually used (and misunderstood),

​- how seniority is inferred from small signals,

​- why “tailoring” often backfires,

​- and which common mistakes candidates don’t even realise they’re making.

​You’ll also hear real patterns from my hiring work and 1:1 sessions — including role targeting decisions, location and availability signals, seniority mismatches, and the subtle reasons strong candidates get filtered out early.
