Figma Hiring FAQ
We review portfolios for concept-to-delivery range, not just visual polish. Figma candidates complete a timed design challenge covering UI Design, UX Research & Wireframing, Interactive Prototyping: research brief → wireframes → high-fidelity mockup with documented design decisions. We specifically evaluate information hierarchy, accessibility awareness, and how they handle feedback and iteration. We also verify certifications such as Google UX Design Certificate and Nielsen Norman Group UX Certification. Past client feedback and collaboration style are weighed alongside technical skill.
Our Figma designers overlap 4-6 hours daily with your timezone. Design reviews, stakeholder presentations, and collaborative sessions happen during overlap. Independent deep work — research, wireframing, high-fidelity production — happens during their extended hours, so you get design progress delivered overnight. We use FigJam, Figma Tokens, Storybook for asynchronous collaboration and handoffs. We maintain Figma/design tool access for async feedback anytime.
Every engagement is covered by a comprehensive NDA, IP assignment agreement, and data security protocols. All code, designs, and deliverables created by your Figma designer are your property — full IP assignment, no exceptions. Access to FigJam, Figma Tokens, Storybook and other client systems is managed through role-based permissions. Our infrastructure includes VPN-only access to client environments, endpoint security on all workstations, and we can accommodate SOC 2, HIPAA, or other compliance frameworks. Background verification is standard for all candidates.
We offer a free replacement guarantee. If your Figma designer isn't meeting expectations, tell us and we'll source a replacement with proven expertise in UI Design, UX Research & Wireframing, Interactive Prototyping within 5 business days at no additional cost.

The replacement will be pre-screened for experience in Product UI/UX Design, Design System Development, Website & Landing Page Design. In practice, we rarely need replacements — our vetting process has a 95%+ retention rate past the first 90 days.

There are no hidden costs. Rate differences between seniority levels reflect experience depth in Figma specifically, not just years in the industry.
