[01] Hiring momentum
Who's hiring product designers right now
Companies with design postings in the last 90 days, ranked by how many jobs they posted in the last 30. Posting counts cover all seniority levels, not just entry-level reqs.
Posted 30d counts every job the company listed in the last 30 days across all roles; the surge badge compares its design postings against its own 90-day baseline.
[02] Compensation
Product Designer salary, level by level
Median pay across 30 companies with reported Product Designer bands.
Each figure is the median of company-level p50s (base salary and total compensation, USD). Company ladder codes that can't be compared across companies (L4, IC3, ...) are excluded. 426 reported data points in total.
[03] Response time
Fastest to respond
Among companies hiring design roles, the fastest median time from application to first recruiter screen — measured from real applications sent through Scoutify.
Medians are company-wide (all roles), so treat them as how quickly each recruiting org moves, not a per-role guarantee.
