I'm the founder of The Joanne Weaver Group, a NYC-based design talent agency specializing in Product Design, Product Management, User Research, Content Design, and Software Engineering. We're downright passionate about creating meaningful connections between people, and our care and attention to detail come through in every facet of what we do - how we intuitively listen and understand what you want and need, address your pain points, guide you on the right path to finding that perfect team member / company, and, the best part, celebrate your wins with you! w00t! We place freelance, temp to perm, and fulltime designers in early-to-late-stage startups, F500s, and beyond. About 90% of our candidates and clients come personally referred to us, and we cherish our deep and meaningful, longterm relationships with them. Snapshot of me: * 20+ years of digital industry experience: from my early days of the '99 SF dotcom boom (when Amazon only sold books!) through today, my love for the tech industry still burns strong. * Longstanding, deep knowledge of the tech and startup community and how to cultivate longterm, trusted relationships with jobseekers and clients who partner with us repeatedly through the years. * A personal touch - we dig in deep and take the time necessary to understand your needs and what makes a good match, with high attention to detail...while being laser-focused, nimble, iterative, and consultative. And, fun. We won’t hold back the rah rah when it’s called for! * Most importantly, we possess a deep, abiding respect for the tech industry, and for the people who trailblazed it. We are honored to carry that torch today.
