Published on | Prototyping: From UX to Front End — Medium Andrew Chraniotis The jar

I remember when I had this chat with a designer friend of mine. We were talking about design industry and we identified one big struggle: Even if a designer is qualified for a job opportunity, he isn’t even easily discoverable to the person who posted the job. Individuals with tons of followers, who are around for a long time, are always the first ones in the list. And achieving tons of followers is hard work — almost a full time job by itself.

For instance, Dribbble or Behance can be great sourcing tools. You post work, and people who like your work and believe you are a good match will eventually hire you — to produce more awesome work. But we’re in 2018 and individuals at Dribbble or Behance are established — the exposure at relevant audiences is limited. It’s hard to gather 10.000 followers overnight and the thing is that there are so many great designers out there, who maybe do not have the time to join the “followers hunt” game. Therefore, employers won’t find you easily. They’ll find the 10.000-follower-person first.

So, we decided to propose a solution to this problem: we’ve created DesignerJar.

What is DesignerJar?

DesignerJar let employers look for design talent — and it will order matching designers’ profiles, completely randomly and transparently.

As a designer, all you have to do is to sign up and post a basic set of relevant information. Moreover, you can post your portfolio website, your Behance or your Dribbble, even your LinkedIn if you wish.

As an employer who is looking to hire a designer, all you have to do is to sign up, and filter designers with your requirements. You’ll select the designers that match your requirements and you like their work, and e-mail them. And you are done.
