UX design is the hot trend right now
Companies have never been more invested in making sure their users, customers, and clients have a positive experience with their websites and app.
Adobe Systems Incorporated spoke to 500 managers and department heads working in UX design and asked them about their needs, their hiring priorities, and what they̢۪re looking for in potential candidates. What they found looks very good for UX professionals.
Adobe set out to uncover the latest hiring trends in UX design and the results point to one big conclusion: ‘UX designers’ are now as in demand as software engineers, and that demand is only going to increase.
Hiring UX Designers is Top Priority Right Now
Eighty-seven percent of managers said hiring more UX designers is the top priority for their organization: higher than graphic designers (76%) and product managers (74%), and tied with software engineers for top spot.
One HR manager called UX design “very critical for our [organization’s] future,” while another department manager said “UX review, prototyping, and screen design are important to ensure the end product will not be met with resistance by the end users or even product failure.”
Most Managers Plan To Double The Number of UX Designers They Hire In Next Five Years
UX design is slated for more growth: 73% of managers said they plan to double the number of UX designers in their organization in the next five years.
Many don̢۪t plan to wait that long: 63% of them hired five or more UX designers in the last 12 months and 40% of them expect to double their total number of UX designers in the coming year.
Current Hiring Surge in New York, Major Growth Expected in Detroit
The managers we spoke to are looking for UX designers in all major U.S. tech hubs, but 39% of them said they̢۪re looking to hire UX professionals in New York right now. Things are looking good in several other big cities: 29% of managers said they̢۪re looking to hire UX designers in Chicago and 24% are looking in Los Angeles, with Boston and San Francisco following closely behind.
If you̢۪re looking to the future, look further north: Detroit is seeing major growth in UX design. Managers expect to strongly increase the number of UX designers they hire there in the next year, with Washington, D.C., San Diego, and Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill also showing impressive prospects.
‘UX Tools’ Is The Most Important Skill, But Personality Counts Too
When asked what skills they look for in UX designers, 42% of managers said ‘knowledge of UX tools’ is the most important factor in hiring. 33% said the ability to collaborate was a top skill, but this answer varied a lot depending on the size of the organization. Collaboration skills are much less important to managers
