Save your spot for May 7: Inside UXR hiring with Userlytics 📣


Hey Reader,

I’ve been doing quite a bit of interview training these days and there’s a moment I see come up again and again:

An interviewee walks through a recent project. They cover the context, the approach, the outcomes. They explain the goal, the method, the findings. Everything sounds solid. Then they get asked a follow-up:

❓ “How did you decide what to prioritize?”
❓ “What metrics were you targeting with your work?”
❓ “Where did AI actually change your process, if at all?”

And this is usually where things either click… or fall flat.

Not because the work wasn’t good, but because the thinking behind the work isn’t always clear.

That gap is what we’re getting into on May 7.

I’m partnering with Userlytics for a live fireside chat with a research leader who is actively hiring, building a team, and evaluating candidates right now.

Leveraging AI in your Research Practice: What Hiring Managers Actually Want to See (and Won’t Tell You)

This is a chance to hear, in a very real way:

☑️ What hiring managers are actually listening for when you talk about your work


☑️ How they’re evaluating AI usage beyond “I used it to summarize” or “I’m experienced with Chat GPT.”


☑️ What it looks like to truly own your work end to end, including decisions and stakeholder management


☑️ Where strong candidates tend to miss the mark without realizing it

We’ll also get into how freelance and agency experience is being viewed right now, and what details actually make that experience land.

There’s a lot that doesn’t make it into job descriptions. This is a chance to hear how you’re actually being assessed.

Event details:
📅 May 7
⏰ 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET
💻 Live session

If you’ve been preparing for interviews or thinking about your next move, this will give you a much clearer sense of where the bar is right now.

Hope to see you there!

Hey Reader, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with researchers lately and there’s a theme I keep hearing: “We’re doing the research. So why does it still feel like nobody is listening?” And honestly, it’s a challenge facing our industry right now that won’t fix itself. Because the problem is not that we don’t have enough customer data. We have more data than ever.

Hey Reader, We’re officially in conference season again, and honestly, this year feels different. I'm loving the side conversations, the people I randomly sit next to, and the spontaneous idea sessions that have stuck with me. Almost every conversation I’ve been having lately keeps coming back to the same thing: How AI is changing the way we research, build, collaborate, and make decisions. Not all conferences hit the same, but one that I'm really excited about is Crafted by UserTesting! It's...
