The UX job market has changed significantly in recent years, with layoffs, tighter budgets, and the rapid emergence of AI affecting many UX professionals.

In this episode of The UX Research Club, I speak with Mathieu Ritter, founder of Undiscovered, a recruitment agency specialising in UX, design and research recruitment, as well as product and software engineering roles.

With more than 13 years of experience in UX recruitment, Mathieu shares his perspective on the current hiring market and what companies are looking for today.

In this conversation, we discuss:

• How the UX and UX research job market has evolved
• What companies look for when hiring UX researchers
• The current hiring market in Europe
• What recruiters look for in CVs and portfolios
• How candidates can better prepare for interviews
• How AI is influencing UX hiring and skills expectations
