Decimals
A scout network for hiring designers. Every intro comes through a scout the designer already respects.
About
Danny co-founded Decimals, a scout network that helps teams hire designers through people the design community already trusts. Before that he spent about 14 years in growth and operations: eBay, then Airbnb in London, then head of growth at Prolific and incident.io, and fractional work helping marketplaces expand abroad. He writes and talks a lot about how hiring is changing, and his view is simple: look at the work, not the resume.
