This one is for hiring managers - do you really need to hire a UXR with domain knowledge? Are there limitations to hiring an expert in the field? Or are you missing out on some incredible possibilities by asking only for expert candidates? Danielle and I examine the pros and cons of hiring for domain knowledge, and then we turn it over to the audience for their takes.
Through the UXR Guild, Danielle Green and I created Research Rumbles as a forum for authentic discussion of UX research practices. The group will address a new topic each month. We will cover the most divisive or controversial issues in UXR. Folks are asked to stay open, get curious, and try on new ways of thinking, ala Brené Brown’s rumble style.
