To mark 15 years of Dezeen Jobs, we explored how recruitment has adapted and responded to the ever-changing architecture and design industry.

In our final instalment of the Dezeen Jobs: How We Recruit series, we look at attitudes towards technology advances, new skill sets and environmental challenges that affect the global workforce.
The final roundup features highlights from our conversations with lead architecture designer at Burberry, Ben Ayres; managing director at Snøhetta Design, Hedda Foss Lilleng; principal partner at MAD Architects, Dang Qun; partner at Matteo Thun, Elisa Vago; and chief people officer at Studio Gang, Claire Cahan.

Ayres outlined that despite new technologies constantly being introduced to the architecture field, traditional skill sets are still sought after at Burberry. Ayres noted that there are no particular skill sets that are deemed undesirable and that the candidate's unique qualities are what the company focuses on.
