Why Riffle

A talent database that doesn't go stale.

Profiles with a pulse

Every profile in our network is live: availability, openness to move, location and sponsorship needs refresh continuously. Not résumés that went stale the day they were uploaded.

Matched on hireability

Qualified is table stakes. We rank every match by how likely the designer is to accept your offer based on timing, availability, and preferences you can't see from the outside. You only interview people who are ready to move.

Vetted on the work

We review portfolios and shipped work, not keywords. Starting with product, motion, and brand designers, every candidate joins through a portfolio review before they can be matched.

Our process

How we work

From open role to accepted offer, in three moves.

Share your open role

Send a job description or a short brief. We map what the role actually needs in terms of craft, seniority, domain, and location.

We match on two axes

Qualification: we score designers against your role on their actual portfolio work, not keywords. Hireability: availability, timing, sponsorship and location signals rank who's most likely to accept.

Meet designers ready to move

Review your matches on slack and pick who you want to meet. We make the warm intro — no job posts, no cold outreach.

FAQ

Common questions

Riffle is a living database of vetted designers — product, motion, and brand to start. Every designer joins through a portfolio review, and their profile stays live after that: availability, openness to move, location and sponsorship needs are kept fresh. When you bring us a role, we match against that network and hand you designers who fit the brief and are ready to talk.

Sourcing tools search static profiles — a snapshot of where someone worked, taken whenever they last updated it. Riffle's network is alive: we know who's actually open, when they can start, and what they're looking for next. So instead of ranking people by how qualified they look on paper, we can rank them by how likely they are to accept your offer. That's the difference between a long list and a hire.

Two axes. Qualification: we score designers against your role using their actual portfolio work — craft, industry depth, seniority — not keyword matching on résumés. Hireability: live signals like availability, timing, preferred cities, and sponsorship needs rank who is most likely to say yes. You only meet people who clear both bars.

All three. Most of our clients are startup founders hiring their first or second design role, where a miss is expensive. Design leaders at scaling companies use us to fill specialised roles without weeks of sourcing, and agencies and recruiters plug into the network as a live, vetted bench. If you hire designers, it's for you.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you're not satisfied with the matches you receive in the first 30 days, we'll refund your monthly fee in full. After a hire, the flat outcome fee includes a 45-day refund or free replacement search.

Feel free to reach out at founders@hiriffle.com or book a call. We're here to help.
