About

Hey 👋 I'm Jack, nice to meet you. I've spent nearly a decade helping global brands and startups recruit the best-in-class design talent. Throughout my career, I've helped to hire designers across nearly every discipline, but I specialise in senior talent in the Product Design & UX space. I'm the founder of Yet To Be, an independent design recruitment agency based in London. We're helping innovative organisations around the world build the design teams of tomorrow. www.yettobe.co Before starting Yet To Be, I was an International Design Recruiter at Meta, where I helped to hire some of the worlds best product designers for Facebook, WhatsApp and Reality Labs. It was at Meta that I gained a deeper knowledge of building elite design talent processes, and now I help my clients apply similar recruitment strategies in order to achieve the best hires for their org. Follow me for insights on design recruitment, and feel free to reach out if you're interested in collaborating 🙌
