Failure Friday #2: The Joys of Design Recruiting

Hang is a former staff UX designer in the robotics space and now works as a design recruiter. In a brilliantly timed move, Hang founded Collective Supply two weeks before mass tech layoffs started in earnest. He enjoys writing controversial takes on LinkedIn and hosting in-person senior designer events in NYC via ‘Designer Friends’. In his spare time, he hangs out with his mini poodle and pomeranian.

Hang’s failures are many, but at Failure Friday #2, we focus on just the recruiting aspects. Hang and Lou Rosenfeld come together for a mix of horror stories, self-flagellation, and other painfully vulnerable moments.

Failure Friday’s aren’t recorded—keep an eye on the Rosenverse and participate in the next one!
