Let's go over the last stage of the UX researcher hiring process!
This means a portfolio review (with one or two case studies), a whiteboard exercise or a take-home task. We'll look into what matters when hiring UX researchers and point out typical challenges for each activity - and also some of the more common mistakes.

The aim here is to give UX researcher tips on the last stage and what to expect from each of these activities.
The inspiration for this video is a presentation done by Thomas Stokes and Lawton Pybus on "How Teams Hire UX Researchers" - you can find the slide deck for their presentation here: https://www.slideshare.net/UXPA/uxpa-2023-how-teams-hire-ux-researchers-today-a-survey-of-current-trends-and-best-practices
