The 3 Most Common Pain Points when Hiring UI/UX Agency for a SAAS product

The process of hiring for any role can be taxing and expensive regardless of the nature of work you do. It might seem like a simple task at first, but it requires a significant investment of company resources. Aside from the time and money you need to spend to find the best people for the job, you also need the manpower with the necessary skills that will help you find the right fit.

It’s the same case when it comes to choosing the right UI/UX agency. To help you address the challenges surrounding this endeavor, below are the top 3 pain points you should consider when hiring UI/UX agency.

1. Short on resources
The process of hiring in-house UI/UX designers can put a lot of weight on a company’s resources, especially if the process drags on. It’s not always easy to find the people with the specific skillset that you need, so the process takes time. If your company is short on resources, financial or otherwise, this process can be cause for concern.

2. Difficulty finding experienced UI/UX designers
One of the main reasons for this is supply—it’s limited and most of what’s left is being recruited by larger companies. Often, startups and smaller companies are left with no choice but to work with less experienced designers or agencies. A LinkedIn report has shown that UX design is one of five skills that are most in demand since 2020.

3. Difficulty finding UI/UX designers with an industry specific experience
It’s hard enough to find experienced UI/UX designers; it’s even harder to find ones that have a background on the certain niche you’re working in. When selecting the agency or people to work with, you should ensure that you meet eye to eye when it comes to goals and expectations.

Here are some points you should consider when evaluating a UI/UX agency

Availability
Your chosen UI/UX design agency should always be within reach in case there are issues that need to be addressed or modifications that need to be made on a project. This ensures quick turnaround times and avoids miscommunication that can be the cause of significant delays and other setbacks. PitangoUX can also start immediately on your project so you can get your product to market quicker and more efficiently.

Easy scalability
PitangoUX projects are designed to be scalable because it follows the “accordion effect.“ When a client wants to expand, the project structure is decentralized; in case of an economic downturn, it scales down to a centralized structure. The typical UI/UX flow is within 3-4 months, after which work is limited to the addition of new features and tweaking of existing ones. This puts less load on overhead and helps minimize overall cost.

Cost effectiveness
Because hiring a senior designer or a number of junior designers is more expensive than the cost of a 3-month project, PitangoUX presents a more feasible solution without sacrificing quality of work and set deadlines. The core of product design, especially in the field of software and SaaS, is minimizing risk by working with someone or a team who has done it hundreds of times while working with the most competitive companies in the space.

“No I in team”
Rather than hiring an individual, it’s always better ti hire an experienced team of designers so there are more ideas on the table and there are always people to consult. More experienced people working on a project means it will take less time to complete because of a more efficient workflow. A team also ensures that there’s someone overseeing the project as it progresses, so issues are easily addresses and alternative solutions are presented.

Only the best of the best
PitangoUX prides itself with an excellent team that’s dedicated to their craft—and the clients. The company and its team of expert UI/UX designers has extensive experience working with both up-and-coming startups and established global companies, including Nike, Playtica, Lufthansa, and more.

Experience Success is PitangoUX’s Mission
