Mira AI reads every application through the work that actually shipped: what the person owned, the constraints they worked inside, and the evidence they can show for both. Every applicant is measured against the same scorecard, in the same way, on the day they apply. Reading applications as they land ### Proof beats a polished CV. You describe the role and what success looks like in it, and Mira AI ranks each applicant with the reasoning written out in sentences you can read and disagree with. The people who rise are the ones whose work backs up the claim. A first read, never the final word. - Weighs work someone actually shipped above the tools listed on a CV - Every ranking carries the why, including the near-misses - Reads for judgement and communication alongside technical depth - Reorders the shortlist as new applicants arrive ### You are designing a digital product Match the surface you are building. A product designer who has shipped apps beats a stronger generalist who has only made marketing pages. - Product Designers - UI/UX Designers - Interaction Designers - Design Systems Designers ### You are building a brand Identity work rewards taste and range. Look for a portfolio of shipped brands, not just concept explorations. - Brand Designers - Identity Designers - Graphic Designers - Art Directors ### You need marketing and social creative Volume and consistency matter as much as any single hero piece. Hire for people who can turn a brief around fast and on-brand. - Graphic Designers - Motion Designers - Social Media Designers - Video Editors ### You are launching a website or landing page Web design sits between visual craft and build. Someone who designs and ships in Webflow moves faster than a hand-off between two people. - Web Designers - Webflow Designers - UI Designers ### You need video and animation This is a specialist craft with its own tools. Match the style and format you need, from explainers to social cut-downs. - Motion Designers - Video Editors - Animators - 3D Artists ### You need custom illustration and icons Style is the whole hire here. Shortlist on a portfolio that already looks like what you want, then check range. - Illustrators - Icon Designers - Visual Designers Seniority ## Titles inflate. Scope does not. Writing the scope into the scorecard filters harder than writing a job title into the ad. ### Junior 0 to 2 years Executes to a brief and an existing design system. Needs art direction and review. ### Mid-level 3 to 5 years Owns a product surface or a brand deliverable end to end. The deepest band in India and the fastest to fill. ### Senior 6 to 9 years Owns the design of a product or a brand system, sets patterns and gives art direction. Notice is usually 60 to 90 days. ### Lead / Staff 10 years and up Sets design direction across the organisation. A much smaller pool, and titles inflate here, so scope matters more than the label. Why Mira AI ## AI screening that leaves the decision with you. ### It never rejects anyone Nobody leaves your pipeline because of a score. The one exception is auto-reject for candidates who stop responding, and you switch that on yourself. ### It never hides its reasoning Every score carries the sentences behind it. A number you cannot interrogate is not a decision you can defend to your engineering lead. ### It is never the only reader Move to recruiter-assisted and a technical recruiter in India reviews the shortlist and speaks to everyone you interview. ### Keep your own ATS Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them, or run the whole process here. Both are supported and neither locks you in. ### Bring your own applicants Candidates from your careers page, a GitHub referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours. ### Employment stays your choice Employ the engineer on your own Indian entity, or ask us to be the legal employer if you have none. That is decided at offer stage. Pricing ## Start with the tool. Add reach. Add people. Every plan includes Mira. What changes is how far your roles travel and how much of the work you hand over. ### Base Free forever For a team running its own hiring and tired of doing it in spreadsheets. - Full pipeline and candidate tracking - Your own hosted careers page - Mira in Slack, with monthly credits - Unlimited open roles [Create an account](https://talent.wisemonk.io/) ### Boost $100 /month For teams whose problem is candidate flow, not candidate tracking. - Everything in Base - Your roles listed on the Wisemonk talent community - Mira on the strongest models available - Uncapped screening and scheduling - Salary benchmarks from live India payroll data [Upgrade to Boost](https://talent.wisemonk.io/) ### Bespoke Contingent on a joined hire Some roles need a person on the phone.

Contingent fee of 10%, 12.5% or 15% of first-year salary, set by role seniority. Under a talent agreement, billed only on a joined hire. [Talk to an Expert](https://www.wisemonk.io/contact) FAQs ## Frequently asked questions Everything design leads and founders ask before they post a first design or creative role. **How do I hire designers in India?** Open the role with the discipline, tools, seniority and timezone overlap you need. Mira AI drafts the job description and scorecard, the role reaches our candidate community, and every application is scored against your scorecard, portfolio included, as it arrives. You review the ranked shortlist, and when you are ready to offer, Wisemonk employs the person on your behalf so you do not need an Indian entity. **Which design and creative roles can I hire in India?** Any of them. UI/UX and product design, graphic design, brand and identity, motion and video, illustration and web design are the areas we hire for most. Roles outside those, from 3D and AR/VR to packaging, presentation design and UX writing, can be opened the same way; the scorecard is built from your brief, not from a fixed list. **How much does it cost to hire a product designer or graphic designer in India?** It depends on seniority, the discipline and the city. A senior product designer who owns a design system is benchmarked very differently from a mid-level graphic designer. When you post a role, we check your salary band against our own payroll data for that discipline and tell you before it goes live whether the band will fill it. On top of salary, employer costs in India include provident fund and gratuity, which Wisemonk carries as the legal employer. **How long does it take to hire?** Applications start arriving as soon as the role is live, and Mira AI scores them as they come in. The start date is set by the notice period rather than the search: employed designers commonly serve 30 to 90 days, and senior hires are often a full 90. Filter for shorter notice when the start date matters more than seniority. **How do you verify design skill?** Mira AI scores each application against the scorecard you wrote, and reads the linked portfolio alongside the CV, which for design is the real signal. Every score comes with the reasoning behind it. You still review the portfolio yourself and run your own interviews, and a short paid design exercise on a realistic brief tells you more than any CV. **Should I hire a generalist or a specialist designer?** Early on, a generalist who can move between product, brand and marketing keeps you flexible. As the work deepens, specialists in product design, motion or brand deliver more. Write the mix you need into the scorecard and Mira AI will weigh range against depth accordingly. **Will designers in India work US or UK hours?** Partial overlap with the UK and Europe is standard and easy to staff, which suits design work built around reviews and critique. Full US-hours shifts are a smaller pool, so set the overlap you need when you open the role and only candidates who accept it apply. **Do I need a company in India to employ a designer there?** No. Wisemonk becomes the legal employer, holds the employment contract, runs payroll, and handles provident fund, gratuity, ESI and income tax withholding. You direct the work day to day. If you already have an Indian entity, you can employ the person on it instead. That is decided at offer stage, not when you post. **Should I hire a designer as a contractor or an employee?** Indian law looks at how the work is directed, not at what the contract is called. If you set hours, supply the laptop and manage someone daily, treating them as a contractor carries misclassification risk, and it also affects who owns the designs and source files. Employment through Wisemonk removes that risk without needing your own entity. **Who owns the designs and source files my hires produce?** Your company. The employment contract Wisemonk signs on your behalf includes IP assignment and confidentiality terms, so work created in the course of employment, including designs, source files and brand assets, belongs to you, not to the designer or to Wisemonk. **What does senior mean for a designer in India?** Roughly six to nine years, owning the design of a product or a brand system end to end, setting the patterns others follow and giving art direction. Titles inflate in the Indian market, so write the scope you need into the scorecard rather than relying on the job title on a CV. **Can I use Mira AI with my existing ATS?** Yes. Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them into your own system, or run the whole process here. Candidates from your careers page, a referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours. **Does Mira AI work in Slack?** Yes. Mira posts candidate updates into Slack as they happen and answers questions there in plain language — who applied, where a role stands, what is waiting on whom. A weekly digest names the roles that have gone quiet. Hiring managers and interviewers can follow a search without ever opening the workspace. **How do you know what the salary should be?** From our own payroll. Wisemonk pays over 2,000 employees in India, so the benchmark behind your role is what people in that specialism and city are actually being paid this month, not a published survey. Mira checks your band against it before the role goes live and tells you if it will not fill. **What does Mira AI do after the shortlist?** Candidates book themselves into your panel's availability, and your meeting note-taker captures the interview. Mira AI keeps everything with the role and flags which scorecards are still outstanding, so a decision is never waiting on someone who forgot. **Do I pay for candidates I found myself?** No. A candidate already in your ATS, or who came from your careers page, a referral or another job board, stays yours. They are scored against the same scorecard as ours and carry no fee. A fee applies only to candidates our recruiters or our community bring you. **Does Mira AI actually call candidates?** Yes. Upload the job description and Mira AI suggests a set of screening questions, which you can use as they are or edit. It then phones candidates, tells each one at the start that they are speaking to an AI, and asks what you set. The call is recorded and you can read the transcript on the candidate's profile, alongside how their application scored. ## Find your next designer in India. Describe the role in a sentence.
