🧩 UX/UI Position Recruitment Process at LCA

When a new UX/UI position opens at LowCode Agency, we follow a structured recruitment process to ensure we find the right fit.

🧑‍💼 Roles & Responsibilities

• The Head of Design (HOD) leads the recruitment process.

• The HOD will collaborate with a Senior Designer to get a second opinion—it's always best to have two perspectives when evaluating candidates.

📥 Application Intake

• Candidates apply through LowCode Jobs.

• Jesus handles the first screening, reviewing all applications and selecting the most promising profiles.

• Selected candidate information (CV, portfolio, and Loom video) is then shared with the HOD.

The HOD will contact the selected candidates via email to schedule the first interview.

🗓 Interview Process

• Interviews should ideally be conducted by both the HOD and a Senior Designer.

• If the Senior Designer isn’t available, the interview should still proceed with the HOD alone.

• Interview Language:
  If the candidate is a native Spanish speaker, the interview will be conducted in Spanish, with a designated portion in English to assess fluency.
  If the candidate is not a native Spanish speaker, the entire interview will be conducted in English.

Before the interview:

• Record the session.

• Inform the candidate that the meeting will be recorded.

🧭 Interview Roadmap

1. Background & Experience

• “Tell me about your background — where have you worked, and what types of projects have you been involved in?”

2. Design Skills & Tools

• “Are you familiar with low-fidelity and high-fidelity design? How do you approach each?”

• “Have you worked with tools like Whimsical and Figma?”

3. Mindset Fit – Drivers vs. Passengers

• “At LCA, we value ‘drivers’ over ‘passengers.’ How do you see yourself in terms of taking ownership and initiative in your work?”

4. Technical Knowledge

• “What’s your experience with tools in our tech stack, such as Glide, Bubble, FlutterFlow, or Webflow?”

5. Career Goals

• “What are your short- and long-term career plans?”

6. English Fluency Check

• “Can you tell me a bit about your hobbies or what you enjoy doing outside of work — in English?”
