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.
