Our Creative Talent Acquisition Specialist is vital for curating our top-tier Creative Director and Creative community at Designity. This role requires a keen eye for creative excellence and leadership, focusing on identifying talents with exceptional design skills and the ability to inspire. As part of our Creative Community, you'll assess and select Creative Directors and Creatives who meet our high standards to join our vibrant, ever-growing community. Your evaluations will ensure Designity projects are guided by innovative creative leadership, maintaining our commitment to excellence. This position entails evaluating talent, hosting and assessing  the challenge workshops for Creative Directors and Creatives, organizing the hiring processes and resource allocation for the community, helping prioritize the most needed creative roles, and taking charge of training workshops.

Designity is a subscription-based collaborative creative platform that enables creatives and businesses to collaborate more effectively through a unique and innovative model. This collaborative approach has convinced both small and large companies, including Calendly, Kung Fu Tea, and Marriott Hotels, to use Designity for their design and marketing efforts instead of traditional, costly, and inefficient alternatives.

We are transforming the creative industry, moving away from outdated and ineffective marketing and design methods. Companies typically hire in-house designers, which is costly, time-consuming, skill-limiting, and requires substantial supervision. Working with traditional design and marketing agencies offers an alternative but at a high cost. Marketplaces  like Upwork and Fiverr claim to offer a more affordable solution, but their model lacks reliability and optimization for creative services, causing frustration for businesses.

While we still operate like a startup, we are in full scale- up mode. If you are looking for the opportunity to join a growing company that is transforming the creative industry, then Designity is the place for you.

Success Stories

I’m all about helping our clients have a less stressful, more successful business. What really excites me is when clients start making more money while getting their weekends back! Whether I’m working with a marketing manager at a Fortune 500 company or a bootstrapped entrepreneur, I love seeing these amazing businesses discover new, best-fit leads through the work Designity does. I’m also a huge fan of creating an environment where Creatives can grow, bring new ideas to projects, and be themselves. In my experience, Designity does that better than anyone else.
