Hi All,
One of the divisions of the company I work for is trying to fill a UI/UX Designer role to work on one of their pieces of software.
So far HR has vetted a bunch of print designers with very little GUI / UI / UX / Web / App experience. I'm quite certain they're not fielding the right types of individuals.
If someone could help me compile a list of things I could send over to HR to help them to vet the right type of designer I would be very grateful.
So far this is what I have - feel free to add or to correct me.
Core Discipline / Experience:
Interaction, Interactive, GUI, UI, UX DesignerSkills:
-Passion and Understanding of UI/UX Design principles
-Ability to brainstorm and sitemap UX / App / Website workflow
-Ability to draft wireframes based on sitemap docs
-Ability to translate wireframes into useable design skins / artwork
-Understanding of rapid prototyping and usability studies for GUI / Application design
-bonus would be: Understanding and ability to translate design / artwork into functional pieces of code (ie: developer capabilities)
-ability to motion prototype design solutions... and that's all I have for now. Thanks!!

In terms of experience design, porn website are leading the way. No doubt about that.

Little rant: It drives me insane reading job postings for 'graphic designer' then getting into the blurb to find they want a web coder!!! Gah!
Actually related to question: Keep it titled 'UI/UX Designer' with the current blurb and it should be sweet.- Dog-earMar 12, 12, 3:27 p.m. – Permalink

@Ponyboy & Toki,
Haha.. I was actually kinda hesitant to post because I don't think the position is all that lucrative. You would be working directly with a bunch of software developers + engineers who tend to abuse designers.
Also, after talking with the VP of the group it became clear they are not seeking so much a UI/UX person but more a strict UI designer - specifically someone to develop + design iconography/pictograms for their software. We have a few icon designers floating around between the various subsidiaries and my impression is that they're basically 'Hands' for the developers/engineers who cant use the tools (ie: I need an icon/ui element, here's the idea I have, now execute).
And that might sound harsher than the job actually is - I like working here and a lot of the people are super cool. We're a pretty large technology company in Southeast Michigan with good pay and benefits. I'm pretty sure they're looking for someone to work onsite, but that may be negotiable.
If it sounds like something you're interested in shoot me an email and i'll send you a link to the application site:
