Join the Future
of Creative Community

As a Creative Talent Recruiter at Designity, you’ll play a vital role in building a community of top-tier Creative Directors and Creatives. This role focuses on identifying exceptional talent with strong design skills and leadership potential. You’ll be responsible for reviewing portfolios, conducting culture-fit interviews, and leading challenge workshops to ensure candidates meet our high creative standards. By selecting the right talent, you’ll help ensure that Designity’s projects are guided by innovative, quality-driven creatives who enhance our commitment to excellence.

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We are transforming the creative industry, moving away from outdated and ineffective marketing and design methods.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.
