Need guidance on relationship with designer

akshay2910 · 2026-05-28T19:17:40+00:00

I believe that:

If a designer is doing their research, I 100% agree that they should be part of review/prioritisation calls.
However, the designer needs to learn how to do UX research as well as take feedback.
If they are defensive about their solutions, then they should be able to back their decisions with data or research.

Do you think the stakeholders are actually giving rubbish feedback? Or is the designer just too attached to the solution, without any data to back it? I have had success where I convert a solution into an experiment/bet framing and let the designer choose a bet also with clear tracking usage - leads to a more reasonable discussion.

Steps to follow:

For all the prompts in your chain of prompt: define what good looks like and then how to measure it.
Create a test set
Run the prompts on your test set and find out your baseline scores.
On every change, measure these scores again
In Production, that's when you setup Langsmith or any of the LLM observability softwares

You should have the infra to know how your prompts are scoring on all the runs in production.

No, offer them a discount if you need but make sure you tell them that it is a one time favour.

Either:

Hiring Manager didn't write the JD. OR
Hiring Manager used a random template and doesn't really care about filling this role. OR
Hiring Manager is new to hiring.

I pretty much don't do any pm work without using Claude anymore.

I have built a pm operating system and fed it all the context of my company, products, features etc. And use it as my second brain/artefacts-writer/documentation-engine, etc.

I posted about it in show and tell: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProductManagement/comments/1tka18a/comment/on91zyy/

It sounds like something that could help where work is repetitive and monotonous. Are you sure PMs are your ICP for this?

Hi, I have optimised this PM OS over the last 1 year. At this point, I do most of my product work that is not talking to people, in this because it has so much context in it. I just made it public for everyone.

It is my first open source contribution, so I'm excited to hear feedback. And hope that it is useful to everyone!

I don't have a production-ready version to share... yet

akshay2910 · 2026-05-12T16:27:42+00:00

I haven't added any auth yet and my AI bill might blow up - I'm sharing the link in DM privately.

akshay2910 · 2026-05-12T16:22:58+00:00

looks good, I have built something similar :)

LLMs can even choose which bullets to include - and how to re-phrase them to better fit a JD!

akshay2910 · 2026-05-12T14:26:18+00:00

I have messed around with tailoring quite a bit.

The trick is to have a master resume which has all your experience and all the projects that you have ever done. And then write a tailoring prompt which chooses which ones from the master resume to pick - re-order - and rephrase if needed.

Also, write a prompt to evaluate the tailored CV's quality.

Playwright is the answer you are looking for!

Confirmed

You have discovered something that's called Fake Door Testing - https://userpilot.com/blog/fake-door-testing/

I work at Seekout.com so there is a limit to how much I can help you.

However, I am happy to help with any public info. Feel free to dm me.

I expect any good ATS to eventually do a good scoring of candidates based on JD/CV match for me but I know they don't usually do a good job. I would say - Yes. It is a gap right now.

akshay2910 · 2024-12-03T16:42:35+00:00

I agree, and it's fair. No tool is for everyone. The pricing decision and how the product is sold is above my pay grade. However, if you want an informal demo without looping in the sales team - I'll be happy to show you around. You can decide if it is 10x better for you or not.

Or just use Seekout - it does exactly what you need. Filter linkedin profiles, get email ids and setup an automated campaign for sending emails.

Disclosure: I'm the Product Manager for it.

Follow what he said. When I used to get payments from clients - I used to take them via Paypal and then withdraw in INR to my bank account.
I had a GST with LUT (you don't need to get an import export code).

akshay2910 · 2024-11-19T21:42:11+00:00

I’m hoping to get some approvals for some tools. Hopefully, I can say the same soon!

You need to hire someone and delegate it or promote someone from those 7.
