User Experience is critical to conversions, SEO, brand loyalty, word of mouth referrals, cost reduction, customer lifetime value, NPS, abandonment reduction and more.  It’s critical that the user’s emotions and attitudes about your product, system or service are positive.

Intelligent People can help you find this critical Contract UX and Design talent.

Good user experience people can be hard to find, or can they?

Often, UX and design work is project driven.

Consequently, many companies choose to use contractors or interims to ‘staff up’ for the project duration or bring in highly skilled UX experts at key points in the project lifecycle.

It can be challenging to find strong permanent UX expertise, particularly at a senior level.

So, many of our customers choose to engage interim experts with depth of experience (and strong portfolios) to make sure their customer interactions are as simple, intuitive and rewarding as possible.

In addition, sometimes fresh ideas and a new perspective is needed to compliment an existing internal team, which can take customer interactions in a new direction whilst inspiring and upskilling an existing team.

Why is a UX or Design contractor the solution?

Change is accelerating.

The pace of change in UX and Design is accelerating. 

Complex animation will become commonplace, enabled by super-fast 5G, and designing for speed will becoming more of a factor as network speeds accelerate. 

The part that UX and design plays in the product development lifecycle is changing as structured, but rapid, product management becomes more commonplace. 

There will be product owners everywhere.  Sometimes the best way to ‘modernise’ or galvanise a team is to bring in an expert from the outside, who can inspire and challenge.  UX & design contractors are a cost-effective way of doing this.

Solve a problem, quickly

When you have a bulge in project work, combined with a couple of key resignations, you need a safe pair of hands to ensure deliverables are met. 

Our UX contractors adapt quickly to new environments, hitting the ground running and adding value.

Flexibility

Change is constant, and if there’s uncertainty a product design interim can enable you to meet deliverables without the commitment of hiring someone permanently.  If you’re testing a new product and are unsure whether it will go beyond an MVP, you need to be able to scale down quickly.  UX and design contractors enable you to do this.
