How to hire graphic designers
Hiring graphic designers usually means a job post, days of waiting and hundreds of unfiltered applications. Here's a faster way to brief, screen and shortlist, with or without a job post.
Write a clear brief
A good brief saves hours of screening. Include the role, experience, must-have skills, location or remote, budget and when they should start. For example:
Graphic designer for social media, 1–3 years, Hyderabad, agency.
Skills to screen for
Shortlist graphic designers on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Canva, typography, branding, social media creatives and motion basics. Ask for proof: projects, portfolios or results from their previous roles.
