Stories From Our UX &
Service Design Talent

Simran Singh
Kim McKinnon

Outwitly instilled in me the confidence to take on the challenge of a public sector application. And that was only the beginning of our relationship. I was soon embedded in their community of designers. I was fortunate to have this support, especially given the remote nature of the job. I was able to lean on them and ask questions. They are not just another recruitment agency who you contact for contracts and invoices. They believe in the power of community, and they provide tools and resources to set me up for success.

Colette Di Bella

I have had the privilege of being represented by Outwitly for nearly three years as a service designer. From the start, my experience with Outwitly has felt like a true partnership; they took time to get to know me as a person in addition to understanding my skills, educational background and professional experience. Every time I have reached out with questions or needed support, they've responded quickly, have made themselves available, and have always taken the time that I needed. Their communication is clear and to the point, and their processes are streamlined and user-friendly. I am confident knowing they are not only supporting me in my current role, they are actively pioneering new opportunities for their roster of talent.

Throughout my two-year journey with Outwitly, they've demonstrated exceptional talent matching, connecting me with roles that perfectly align with my expertise. Their support goes well beyond traditional recruitment - offering comprehensive interview preparation, ongoing weekly coaching, professional webinars, and access to a vibrant peer community. This holistic approach to professional development truly sets them apart from other recruitment firms.

I’ve been in the industry for 8 years and freelancing for the last 3, and Outwitly has truly been the best team I’ve worked with. Not only are they incredibly fun and kind, but also highly skilled at what they do. I’ve had the chance to collaborate with them on in-house projects, which was such a gem of an experience, and they also placed me on a project that turned out to be the best contract I’ve ever had.

What makes Outwitly stand out is how well they get to know you, ensuring the right fit, and how much they care throughout the whole process—always checking in and making sure you feel supported. I genuinely feel like they’ve got my back, and I look forward to continuing this collaboration for a long time!
