Where is a good place in the UK to hire full-time or freelance UX designers?

December 20, 2010 4:07 AM

I work for a mid-sized publishing company in London and we're starting to build smartphone and tablet apps. We have technical resource in-house for building the apps and people to handle both the product and project management. What we really lack are great UX designers - where's a good place in the UK to look for the people who can make our apps brilliant to use? Happy to consider hiring full time or getting freelancers in.

Try joining the London_Usability group on Yahoo. You may or may not want to post directly to it, but you can at least get some names of agencies that post pretty regularly for this type of thing.

There are a number of job boards that — while focused on designers — have a lot of crossover with UX folks. A few top-of-mind ones:
