7. The UX Recruiter - Nick Grantham @ Zebra People

Nick Grantham is Associate Director at Zebra People.

In this episode of Understanding Users, Nick talks about the incredible buoyancy of the current booming UX job market and the ever-growing demand for both product and service design roles. We discuss the importance of ‘going with your gut’ when job hunting, the dangers of being too purist in real-world UX projects, and we touch on some of the challenges posed to both contractors and recruiters by IR35 legislation.

We also reminisce about conducting experiments to blow up magnesium in chemistry classes at school, and their surprising parallels with UX portfolios…

He also plays my 3 card challenge to share his favourite UX tool, favourite technique and a trend he sees in the future. 

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode.
