Product Design Lead

About the role

Damia Group is an international tech recruitment agency with 3 decades of experience. Our arrival in Portugal, 7 years later, was set on a mission to transform IT recruitment experiences and, through them, achieve better results. We believe in long-term relationships with a transparent and relaxed mindset. In a short period, we have reached the hearts of both scale-ups and larger organisations by delivering spot-on curated candidate shortlists, increased job offer acceptance rates and shorter time-to-fill.
