/ Replace the word ‘engineer’ with ‘designer’.   

Recruiting, specially for UX (or the broader cross-platform, multichannel, stacked version, Experience Designers) has been a big challenge for many years now. I love that it’s harder. It opens doors and widens perspectives, as we look toward, and find, talented potential from other disciplines (service design, industrial design, architecture, visual designers…). And once we find the spark and sparkle of potential + passion, it’s up to us to help grow, nurture, encourage and mentor. The sports analogy is apt. It’s about developing, for the future.
