[01] For Candidates
Design, Creative & Engineering Talent That Defines
We represent designers, creatives, design engineers, product engineers, and creative technologists who want to work at companies building something real. Whether you're a Founding Designer, senior IC, design leader, or a hybrid who doesn't fit neatly into a job title, we'd love to know you.
Founding Designer Recruiting
Specialized search for the first design hire at early-stage startups — the zero-to-one designer who sets the bar for brand, product, and team culture before anyone else.
Product & UX Design Recruiting
Recruiting for Product Designers, UX Designers, and Interaction Designers — the core design roles that define how a product thinks, feels, and works.
Visual & Brand Design Recruiting
Recruiting for UI, Visual, and Brand Designers — the designers who build the visual systems, identities, and creative direction that define how a company shows up in the world.
Emerging & Specialist Design Roles
Recruiting for Voice AI Designers, Conversation Designers, and other cross-disciplinary specialists — the hardest roles to find and the ones most recruiters don't know how to evaluate.
Design Engineering & Technical Talent
Recruiting for Design Engineers, Front-End Engineers, and Product Engineers — the technical talent that sits at the intersection of design and code.
[02] Why Work With X2Talent
Represented, Not Recruited At
We know your work.
Most recruiters can't tell the difference between a Figma file and a finished product. We can. We are former Product Designers — we've evaluated thousands of portfolios and knows how to articulate your value to hiring teams who need to be sold on design.
We only send you relevant roles.
No spray-and-pray. We'll only reach out when there's a real fit — at a company worth your time, for a role that matches where you want to go.
Your reputation matters to us.
We represent you. That means we're selective about where we put your name, how we position you, and how we communicate on your behalf.
