Our Specialisms

Design

Our Specialist Design Team boasts an impressive 110 LinkedIn recommendations spanning from junior designers to VPs. They specialise in all facets of product design, from User Research and Service Design to DesOps & UX Writing.

Distinguishing themselves as not just as recruiters but as active contributors to the design community, they've had the pleasure of hosting esteemed design icons such as Dan Makoski (Chief Design Officer) and Yolanda Oliveras (VP of Design) on their video podcast series ‘Making Waves’. Their commitment extends beyond virtual conversations, as they regularly curate events uniting design leaders across the UK. To further foster a sense of collaboration and knowledge-sharing, they’ve pioneered an executive WhatsApp group exclusively for design leaders. Here, they can seek advice, share insights, and access key resources, solidifying their commitment to building a thriving and supportive design ecosystem.

What people say about working with our Design Team…

Wave are incredible recruiters who go above and beyond to provide a great experience. They’re incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, hard-working, and will do everything they can to connect great companies with great talent. I couldn't recommend Wave more.

The contact that helped me at Wave was thoughtful, and caring and will fiercely represent you if you work with them and I’m so grateful. I worked with them for a very senior role and they were with me every step. They’re responsive, always checking in and giving guidance. They’ve got a lot of insight into the Product Design industry that’s constantly evolving. They’re creative in finding solutions when there are hurdles and I really appreciate how much they fought for me for the role. I’d work with them again any day. Thank you for your partnership!

Wave has been one of the best recruitment companies I’ve worked with. Throughout the conversations, Wave provided the perfect amount of information about the role and company. I could tell they cared a lot about finding the right fit for both the company and myself.

Interviewing can be time-consuming and stressful to navigate, Wave stayed incredibly respectful and I had no worries throughout the whole process. I was provided clear expectations about each stage and who I was meeting, they were even kind enough to take calls after I finished work and understood when work was too busy for me to share availability.

Beyond the great level of professionalism they showed, I really feel like they care about their clients and want the best for them. Honestly, they went above and beyond. I am about to start my new role next week and feeling incredibly excited. Thank you.

I worked with Wave to grow our Design and User Research team with an eye on exceptional hires from compelling companies, all on a tight timeline. They have a unique eye for design with a strong understanding of what makes a good portfolio.

More importantly, they’re an honest and challenging coach when it comes to improved hiring processes and the market conditions. They helped us push towards a substantially better approach which has paid off in great hires. I've worked with a variety of external recruiters and Wave are my go-to agency.
