Would you like to help other UX researchers
and make extra money using relationships and skills
you’ve already developed?
Talent Scouts
Are you well-versed in UX research?
Do you have experience interviewing and hiring?
Do you enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their goals?
Do you know researchers from school, work, meet ups, professional associations, conferences, or social media?
If so, you could be an ideal candidate for a UXr Talent Scout.
Talent Scouts are located throughout the U.S. and Canada.
They work from 1 to 5 hours per week.
They look for exceptional UX researchers and invite them to work with UXr.
They support the researchers they recruit wherever they are on their freelance journey. That may involve waiting until they are ready to start freelancing, updating their resume, creating a portfolio, recording an introductory video, and starting to market their availability. They may start part-time and work up to full-time freelancing. Talent Scouts may look for work opportunities that fit their researchers and try to help them find work
Talent Scouts are independent contractors who are paid a percentage of the profits they generate placing researchers and also from any hiring managers they bring to UXr.
It is a great gig for those who know UX research, enjoy working with people, and want to build the UX research community.
Account Scouts
Instead of researchers, Account Scouts are looking for UX research managers who may want to hire freelancers. They primarily use relationships they already have with colleagues, former managers, employers, and social media connections. They use their contacts to connect with hiring managers.
They introduce hiring managers to UXr, setting up a zoom call or other introduction, and keep in touch until they need to hire a contractor. At that point, they ensure the hiring manager has a contact at UXr to help them.
Account Scouts are independent contractors who are paid a percentage of the profits they generate by introducing hiring managers to UXr.
Being an Account Scout is a great gig for those who know UX research managers, are good at maintaining relationships, and want to build the UX research community.
Can you be both a Talent Scout and Account Scout? Yes. That means you’re keeping an eye out for both UX researchers and research managers.
