Consider the following when hiring an in-house graphic designer:
- Do the math – Look at how much it is going to cost to hire in someone to do graphic design at a current market related salary. Decided if this fits in with your operating budget as it will mean a monthly salary and benefits, office space, equipment and use of utilities.
- Use the internet – Browse the internet using keywords such as ‘graphic designer’. Post an advert on websites such as Gumtree detailing what you are looking for. Include information on what qualifications and experience is expected. Visit a graphic design association website and look at the members’ listing.
- Use newspapers – Place an advert in your local newspaper, with the same details as listed above. Most graphic design adverts will fall under the professional or marketing sections of the classifieds.
- Ask around – Word of mouth references are often more suitable than candidates sourced online or in newspapers as the recommendation is a personal one.
- Interview several candidates – Ask them to bring their portfolio to the interview and check their references for levels of professionalism and ability to work under pressured deadlines.
