We aim to understand every individual’s                   capabilities, and to give them what they need to succeed to                   their fullest potential.

HTML5 Developer

<p>With their specialised skills and increased flexibility, Product Design and UX contractors can significantly contribute to your business's growth and success.</p>
<p>If you're considering hiring Design contractors in London, here are some key ways in which they can enhance your operations:</p>

<p>According to a report by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.upwork.com/research/future-workforce-report-2022">Upwork</a></span>, the freelance platform, 56% of hiring managers that engage freelancers have increased utilisation of independent talent over the last 12 months. Additionally, 66% of hiring managers plan to increase utilisation of freelancers over the next two years.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the U.S alone, there are approximately 70.4 million freelancers. This number is trending upwards to account for 53% of the total US workforce by 2028. Google employs more freelancers than it does permanent employees. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hiring a contractor in the tech and digital space can provide several benefits, including:&nbsp;</span></strong><br>&nbsp;<br><strong>1. Expertise:</strong> Contractors in the tech and digital space have specialised skills and knowledge that can be difficult to find in-house. They can provide valuable insights and guidance on your project, ensuring that it is completed to a high standard.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>2. Flexibility:</strong> Contractors can be hired on a project-by-project basis, which provides flexibility and allows you to scale your team up or down as needed. This can be particularly useful for businesses with fluctuating workloads or seasonal projects. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br><strong>3. Cost-effective: </strong>Hiring a contractor can be more cost-effective than hiring a full-time employee, as you only pay for the work that is completed. This can help you save money on salaries, benefits, and other overhead costs.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>4. Access to specialised tools and resources:</strong> Contractors often have access to specialised tools and resources that may not be available in-house. This can help you complete your project more efficiently and effectively.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>5. Reduced risk:</strong> Hiring a contractor can reduce your risk of legal and financial liabilities, as they are responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and other expenses. This can provide peace of mind and protect your business from potential legal issues.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Overall, hiring a contractor in the tech and digital space can provide many benefits and help you complete your projects more efficiently and effectively. It is clear that hiring contractors and freelancers is becoming a more popular and necessary practice in the tech and digital sectors, as businesses seek to access specialised skills and fill short-term needs.&nbsp;</p>

Reasons for hiring Product Design and UX Contractors 

<p>When it comes to looking for work in the current climate, it certainly has affected the mental health of many. You do not have to look far to hear stories of others going through the same thing following redundancy or restructuring. Firstly, allow yourself to feel and process the emotions you are going through. Suppressed emotions are more likely to produce physiological symptoms.</p>

<p>To safeguard our mental health when looking for work, it comes down to four key areas &ndash; building our confidence to believe in ourselves, resilience to overcome setbacks, the ability to manage our anxiety or stress levels and finding perspective to not feel alone in this challenging time.</p>
<h2>Building your confidence:</h2>
<p>1. Write a list of 100 things that you have achieved.</p>
<p>We often hold on to our failures more than our achievements. So, writing them down and reading it every few days will remind you how truly awesome you are. You are unique.</p>
<p>2. Know what your superpowers are.</p>
<p>Some people find it&rsquo;s communication, others are great at analytical tasks, some creative and innovative projects. Values assessments, feedback from people you have worked with, personality tests can all help with this.</p>
<h2>Building Resilience:</h2>
<p>You have overcome 100% of your hardest days so far. Take a reflection day (a day with a notepad, a cuppa and the aim to investigate yourself) and ask yourself these questions based on the book by Bernadette Jiwa &ndash; &lsquo;Story Driven&rsquo;:</p>
<p>a. What is the hardest thing you have ever done?</p>
<p>b. What did this teach you about yourself?</p>
<p>c. What&rsquo;s your proudest memory?</p>
<p>d. When are you at your best?</p>
<p>e. What wouldn&rsquo;t you change about yourself? And how can you bring that into your next role?</p>
<h2>Managing Anxiety and Stress levels:</h2>
<p>1. Focus on what you can control</p>
<p>Anxiety and fear comes from feeling that our lives are out of our control when in fact they are to an extent. There are two parts to the anxiety cycle that we can control &ndash; our thoughts and our coping methods. There is an article I wrote on this which you can find here: https://www.modernmindgroup.co.uk/post/how-to-manage-anxiety-or-stress</p>
<p>2. Give yourself a timeline</p>
<p>You will hear people say looking for work is a full-time job. It can be, although many of us let it consume our thoughts way beyond the 9-5 hours. Set yourself a timeline every day to finish looking by, for example, 4pm or make the morning about you. First, for example, get up, do some exercise, walk the dog and then start looking with a clear mindset.</p>
<h2>Finding Perspective:</h2>
<p>There is a good quote that is &ldquo;The man that fears the wild animal on the way to work has everything else in the back of his mind&rdquo;. Many of us are blessed enough to live in a world where we don&rsquo;t have to worry about basic survival. We have running water, an indoor toilet, electricity, heat and clothes. If you have all these things plus one mode of transport (even if it is a bike) puts you wealthier than most of the world.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s something to be very grateful for. Make a list of all the things that you can be grateful for that give you comfort and peace of mind in your life. Do this daily for seven days and it will help you feel better by up to 35%.</p>

Navigating Job Search Anxiety: Essential Tips for Maintaining Mental Wellbeing

<p>April is recognised as Stress Awareness Month, and as Digital Recruiters, we see a lot of stress throughout our daily lives - now feels like a great time to raise awareness and educate people about the dangers of stress and how it can affect our lives. Stress is a natural and inevitable part of life, but it can also become chronic, leading to physical and mental health problems. Stress Awareness Month is an opportunity to learn more about stress, identify its effects, and take steps to manage it effectively.</p>

<h2><strong>The Importance of Stress Awareness Month&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p>In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an ever-present part of our lives. Work, relationships, financial worries, and health concerns are just a few examples of the things that can cause stress. While some stress is necessary for survival and can even be beneficial, chronic stress can lead to a variety of health problems, including anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease, and more.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The purpose of Stress Awareness Month is to raise awareness about the dangers of chronic stress and to provide information and resources to help people manage it effectively. By learning about the causes and effects of stress, individuals can take proactive steps to reduce their stress levels and improve their overall health and well-being.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Identifying the Effects of Stress&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p>Stress can affect people in a variety of ways, and its effects can be both physical and mental. Some of the most common physical symptoms of stress include headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and gastrointestinal problems. Mental symptoms can include anxiety, depression, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over time, chronic stress can take a toll on the body, leading to more serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It's important to recognise the signs of stress and take action to manage it before it leads to more serious health problems.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Managing Stress&nbsp;</strong></h3>
<p>The good news is that there are many ways to manage stress effectively. Some of the most effective stress management techniques include exercise, meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness. Engaging in activities that you enjoy, spending time with loved ones, and getting enough sleep can also help reduce stress levels.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to these techniques, it's important to take a holistic approach to stress management. This means taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and practicing self-care can all help reduce stress levels.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Stress Awareness Month is an opportunity to learn more about stress and its effects, as well as to take proactive steps to manage it effectively. By recognising the signs of stress and taking action to manage it, individuals can improve their overall health and well-being and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. For stress awareness day, which falls on the first Wednesday of November, we wrote this article that has some tips for staying on top of your stress.&nbsp;</p>

Identifying and Managing Stress 

<p>Did you know that as many as 70% of employers and digital recruiters screen candidates by looking them up online? If you&rsquo;re considering finding a new role, your online presence can matter just as much as your CV. In this blog we explore how to make sure your personal brand is employer-friendly, plus how you can take that a step further and create an online presence that helps you stand out from the crowd.</p>

<h2 class="mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3">Start with Your Digital Cleanup</h2>
<p>Before anything else, it&rsquo;s essential to tidy up your online presence. Many of us have experienced being tagged in unflattering photos or sharing memes that seemed amusing at the time. If you're concerned about potential employers discovering your past antics, consider untagging those old pictures and removing outdated posts. However, this can be time-consuming, so a quicker option is to switch your Facebook and Instagram profiles to private.To take further precautions, conduct a quick Google search of your name. This will help you identify any unexpected results in your digital footprint, such as old blogs or forgotten profiles that might not reflect your current professional image.</p>
<h2 class="mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3">Enhance Your Professional Profile</h2>
<p>When employers search for you online, you want them to find your LinkedIn profile first, as it serves as your professional showcase. Depending on your industry, Twitter can also be beneficial.Here are some steps to refine your profile:</p>
<ul class="marker:text-textOff list-disc pl-8">
<li><strong>Update Your Profile Picture</strong>: Ensure it&rsquo;s recent, high-quality, and conveys a friendly yet professional demeanour.</li>
<li><strong>Complete Your Profile</strong>: Fill out all sections with current information about your experience and skills. Regular updates demonstrate proactivity.</li>
<li><strong>Incorporate Keywords</strong>: Identify key skills relevant to your desired field and weave them throughout your profile. Don&rsquo;t hesitate to ask connections for endorsements.</li>
<li><strong>Gather Recommendations</strong>: More recommendations enhance your credibility. Reach out to former colleagues for testimonials; offering to write one for them first can increase the likelihood of reciprocity.</li>
<li><strong>Expand Your Network</strong>: Aim to connect with at least one new person each week.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3">Curate Your Content Thoughtfully</h2>
<p>As you engage on social media platforms, it's crucial to consider the content you share. This is an opportunity to establish your presence and demonstrate your expertise in your industry. Aim for updates that are interesting, relevant, and inclusive.</p>
<h2 class="mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3">Content Ideas:</h2>
<ul class="marker:text-textOff list-disc pl-8">
<li><strong>Industry News</strong>: Share articles or insights about developments in your field to show you&rsquo;re engaged and informed.</li>
<li><strong>Work Achievements</strong>: Highlight successes and challenges you've overcome; authenticity resonates well with audiences.</li>
<li><strong>Personal Insights</strong>: Share 'behind-the-scenes' glimpses of your work life through photos or videos that illustrate interesting experiences.</li>
<li><strong>Engage with Others</strong>: Participate in conversations by commenting on others' posts at least once a week.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="mb-2 mt-6 text-lg first:mt-3">Posting Strategy:</h2>
<p>To streamline content sharing:</p>
<ul class="marker:text-textOff list-disc pl-8">
<li>Utilise tools like Google Alerts or Exploding Topics to discover relevant content easily.</li>
<li>Maintain a consistent tone that reflects your personality&mdash;informative yet approachable.</li>
<li>Consider what makes your posts interesting for your audience; include personal insights to showcase your unique perspective.</li>
<li>Avoid controversial topics and ensure humour doesn&rsquo;t come off as sarcasm, which can be misinterpreted.</li>
<li>Aim for 2&ndash;3 posts per week to balance engagement with other commitments.</li>
</ul>
<p>Whether you're actively seeking a new job or content in your current role, implementing these strategies will help you build a solid foundation for future opportunities.</p>

Mastering Your Personal Brand: Top Tips for 2025

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Krste is a Serbian-British innovator, technologist, and designer with over 20 years of experience, enriched by academic research at leading institutions across various technology domains. He is renowned for his work in emerging technologies and complex systems and has a demonstrated track record of leading cross-functional teams across Government, Finance, and Manufacturing. His experience and network place him at the intersection of academia, government, and industry.</p>

<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">What led you to where you are now?</h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">My journey here has been a winding road in terms of both my professional endeavours and ongoing education; my work has always sat at the intersection of technology - how people utilise it and how businesses leverage it.</p>
<p>Over the years, I have helped tackle complex challenges in Service and Product Design teams across the technical, business, and human factor domains. Even during my time as a Physicist and Engineer, I was always thinking about how these bleeding-edge technologies would actually be interacted with by human beings; sometimes a tough gig when you are staring at a bunch of code, oscilloscopes, and lasers in a laboratory.</p>
<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>What do you love the most about what you do?</strong></h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">For me, the interplay between technology, users, and business makes my job incredibly rewarding and challenging. Technologies inevitably evolve, but so do people, their behaviour, and the business world. This makes it the most dynamic job in the world.</p>
<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>What is the most interesting challenge you are looking to solve right now?</strong></h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Right now, I think it's how to align evolving tech with business needs and ever-changing human behaviour. This is the ultimate challenge of modern service design.</p>
<p>As technology advances in complexity, so does its relationship with users. With the injection of AI into service design, we need to rapidly learn what to look for, and what to measure and observe. We need to try our best to stay ahead of the curve where possible and build transparency, governance, and accountability in how products and services are developed, deployed, and disseminated. I believe this to be true across all industries and sectors.</p>
<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>What is the most important advice you would give someone entering this space?</strong></h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Always consider time as a variable in your thinking. I say that from the experience of seeing too many products and services being designed as something frozen in a snapshot in time. This brings me back to my original point that business, technology, and people are constantly evolving - so allow your thinking to be supple in the face of this evidence.</p>

<h2>With AI advancing rapidly, what transformations do you anticipate?</h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">We are at an inflection point; we are about to inject AI into the lifeblood of society:</p>
<ul class="custom-disc">
<li>
<p><strong>2022 </strong>was about rapid technical experimentation with AI</p>
</li>
<li>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 [&quot;bulletList&quot;,{&quot;customListType&quot;:&quot;custom-disc&quot;},&quot;listItem&quot;,{&quot;lineHeight&quot;:1.5,&quot;indent&quot;:null,&quot;textAlign&quot;:null,&quot;color&quot;:null}]"><strong>2023 </strong>was about productionising AI</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>2024 </strong>was about AI deployment in society</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>2025</strong> will be about the societal adoption of AI</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>2026 </strong>will start to see the deep behavioural effects</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Will it drive positive societal change? Or something else? We have a couple of years to find out. My thought is that a complex society with rapid AI decision-making will likely give rise to some unexpected behaviours, so the challenge of understanding this interplay becomes very interesting when building something new&mdash;or indeed evolving a product&mdash;in a rapidly changing landscape. We need to continuously reflect on what services and products might look like hand-in-hand with AI, and at scale. &nbsp;</p>

She is passionate about working holistically with both candidates and clients, focusing on building long-term relationships and delivering exceptional service&mdash;values that are deeply rooted in the culture at Futureheads.</p>
<p>Outside of her role in connecting people within the Tech industry, Heta pursues her other passions: teaching yoga and studying to become an Ayurvedic practitioner. She has a real love for travel, enjoying learning new languages, exploring different cultures, and trying new foods. Some of her travel highlights include trekking in Nepal, exploring Kenya, and discovering the wonders of Japan.</p>
<p>Come and get to know Heta better as we ask her about her first two months at Futureheads and what inspired her to get into recruitment.</p>

<h3>What inspired you to get into recruitment?</h3>
<p>I&rsquo;m an ex-accountant turned tech recruiter that teaches yoga and a trainee Ayurvedic practitioner. If it wasn&rsquo;t for lockdown I wouldn&rsquo;t have made the transition so early on, but I realised I wanted to make a difference and align my skills to something I was more suited to. Once I got into recruitment, I just knew I wouldn&rsquo;t ever go back to accounting, and it was the right call I made.</p>
<h3>What motivated you to join Futureheads?</h3>
<p>I was taking my search and next steps seriously when I was looking for a second recruitment role, I wanted somewhere where I could belong and make a real difference. My values are a key part of who I am and when I found out that Futureheads had the same viewpoint, I knew this was it. I saw the things they had done to make an impact socially and the B corp aspect really shows this.</p>
<h3>What has your first 2 months been like?</h3>
<p>The first two months have been enjoyable, it&rsquo;s been invigorating and have learnt a lot which has really changed my lens on the way I see things. I can be myself and have been accepted so easily, it&rsquo;s refreshing and makes me want to do better.</p>
<h3>What are you looking forward to next?</h3>
<p>I&rsquo;m looking forward to reaching my goals, one of which I&rsquo;m keen on is to expand the DevOps, Cloud and Infrastructure desk as I specialise in this area. To also better myself and bringing more to the table with ideas I have been given the freedom to expand on, so watch this space!</p>
