About DesignJobs.World

The AI-native platform for high-signal design hiring

DesignJobs.World helps tech companies hire strong designers, and helps designers find roles worth their time. We focus on signal, not volume.

DesignJobs.World is led by a senior design leader, supported by experienced recruiting partners and a full stack of AI agents. People make the decisions. Agents do the legwork.

DesignJobs.World

Our story

Design hiring is slow, noisy and expensive. Job posts bring volume instead of fit. Portfolios are hard to compare. Hiring managers lose weeks to screening before a real conversation starts, and candidates wait without feedback.

Kaan L. Caglar has seen this from the hiring manager's side. He is a design leader who builds, with 15+ years leading product design at Zalando, Samsung and startups. He has been Head of Design at AIMultiple and at Zalando, where he led design for the Zalando Lounge Browse pillar across 50M+ customers in 20 markets. He also led design at Tourlane and at heycar, part of Volkswagen Group, and is Cursor's community ambassador in Berlin.

In July 2025 Kaan founded DesignJobs.World and built it end to end with AI agents and no engineering team. The platform has already placed senior design hires, including a Head of Design.

We chose this model for three reasons

Cost-effective

Agents handle research, sourcing, screening and coordination, so companies get senior judgment without the overhead of a large agency.

Fast

Agents work in parallel and around the clock, so searches move without waiting on handoffs.

Great execution

Every agent has one clear job and works to a defined standard, so quality stays consistent from first search to final shortlist.

The rule is simple: humans decide, agents do the legwork, and Kaan approves anything that goes out.

How we are organized

DesignJobs.World is led by its founder and run by a dedicated team of AI agents. Each department below is staffed by AI agents, not people, and every decision and every message that goes out is approved by Kaan.
