How OnHires helped VANSBURG hire a Junior Industrial Designer for sleep product growth

Consumer product companies in eCommerce rely on strong design talent to turn customer needs into practical, high-quality products that stand out in competitive markets.

As VANSBURG continued growing its sleep product offering, it needed to strengthen its product development team with a Junior Industrial Designer who could support design execution, product refinement, and innovation. Because product design directly affects functionality, customer experience, and brand perception, the company needed a structured hiring process that could identify the right candidate quickly without compromising on quality.

Hiring for industrial design roles in consumer products requires more than creative ability alone. Companies need candidates who can combine design thinking, product practicality, and an understanding of how physical products are developed and improved.

VANSBURG needed to hire a Junior Industrial Designer who could contribute to the development of sleep-focused products in a fast-moving eCommerce environment. This required a candidate with strong design fundamentals, product awareness, and the ability to work effectively within a team building wellness-oriented consumer goods.

Because skilled industrial designers remain in demand, especially those who can work across product and brand expectations, the company needed a recruitment process that could move efficiently while maintaining a clear and structured evaluation framework.

OnHires implemented a recruitment strategy tailored to VANSBURG’s product environment and design hiring needs.

We began with role calibration sessions to define the responsibilities, expectations, and success criteria for the Junior Industrial Designer position. The focus was on product design fundamentals, creativity, practical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to contribute effectively in a consumer product company focused on sleep and wellness.

We then launched a targeted sourcing pipeline across industrial design, product design, and consumer goods talent pools. Structured interview workflows and calibrated scorecards helped standardize candidate evaluation, while weekly hiring operations improved stakeholder alignment, accelerated feedback, and reduced delays throughout the process.

OnHires managed the recruitment process end to end, from sourcing and screening to offer coordination and onboarding support.

The structured recruitment process helped VANSBURG strengthen its product design capabilities while maintaining speed and candidate quality.

By aligning recruitment with the specific needs of the role, the company was able to hire a Junior Industrial Designer who could contribute directly to product development and design execution. This reduced hiring friction, improved confidence in candidate selection, and supported a stronger creative foundation for future product growth.

The result was a more efficient hiring workflow and better support for expanding the company’s sleep product portfolio.
