A Fortune 500 software and technology company was struggling with executing an organizational shift to user and product-focused initiatives. The client had a surplus of UX designers and not enough product-focused designers to handle requests flooding in from shared services. The company was evolving and needed all inquiries to funnel through one, robust team comprised of individuals capable of carrying multiple skillsets.
After several instances of miscommunication with their previous vendor, the client knew they needed to pivot their strategy and bring in assistance from an expert in the IT staffing industry. In need of candidates with a deep understanding of technology and software, they chose to partner with Optomi to deliver the best talent and staff their new team of both UX and product designers.

Optomi is skillset-focused. Our recruiters are five times more certified than the rest of the IT Staffing industry. Their deep network of candidates within the most in-demand technology sectors is at your fingertips.
Based on the client’s goals, we placed 40+ high-performing Product Designers, Analytics Specialists, Front End Developers, UI/Visual Designers, and 10+ Researchers to support 3 growing business units, 230+ software products, and their Design Systems. These Designers, Analysts, Researchers, and Developers supported all of the client’s product-focused development teams and their customers.
With Optomi’s help, the client migrated from sitting under the marketing umbrella to a technology one, emphasizing UI rather than traditional UX with their new product-focused team. Prior to our engagement, the client’s candidate submission acceptance rate was 10%. Optomi stepped in and raised it to 90%, utilizing our skillset-focused, consultant-centered recruiters.
With a high work ethic and retention rate, this vigorous new team remained on contract for the entire duration of the project. Today, we’ve maintained a strong relationship with the client, and they accept 36% of referrals coming from Optomi recruiters, proving that good people know good people. Our average time to fill each position is less than 2 weeks and we have a 50% fill rate on all openings the client has presented to us.
The client’s team members hired through Optomi earn industry-competitive salaries plus bonuses for senior-level UX Designers. These consultants have received several positive reviews with nearly 100% timely conversion rates. Many have gained leadership roles and taken on new responsibilities.
