I would like to write these short lines based on recent experiences as a potential candidate on my pursuit for a new experience abroad. I hope that these recommendations will be usable-practical especially for recruiters.
1. - If your client ask for proofs about their candidate work please ask your candidate first. By the nature of the role, researchers handle confidential information within the organization. Before you initiate a process, feel, free to ask, there is a contract of confidentially that is mandatory and we cannot share most of what we handle.
2. - A researcher for design is not a designer but sometimes they do participate. Unless you see that the candidate has been doing both roles, a researcher will not show you a portfolio (do not ask for it). A researcher for the design of a telephone can show you the device, his role is to provide with the information that is necessary in different departments of the organization (designers, engineers, marketing managers, etc.).
3. - Design is a confidential process; information for making it is too.
4. - The key is within the interviews. A recommendation for recruiters-human resources is to design an interview that allow the participant to probe proficiency in the “know how” but when you ask about specific examples you are swimming in deep waters; it is not ethical for the respondent to provide that info.
5. - Focus on how is the implementation of a research process, if we prepare for an interview, the interviewer should be prepared too. For me, that means that the characteristics of how to approach with a business problem in order to design a product, how to research for consumers it is a process and that is the key factor in which you should give an opportunity to the researcher to explain their knowledge.
