Redefining Workforce Attraction Through Storytelling

Role: Creative Director

Reports to: CEO

At Only Co., we aren’t just a creative agency—we’re building a movement. Our work isn’t about flashy marketing or surface-level branding. We exist to help industrial businesses win the war for talent by turning their reality into a story worth telling. Branded Recruitment™ is our vehicle for transformation, and we’re looking for a Creative Director who doesn’t just lead creative work—but deeply believes in its power to shape culture, attract the right people, and change businesses from the inside out.

Who You Are:

You’re a strategic creative—equal parts visionary and executor. You know how to craft compelling visual and narrative experiences, but you also understand the business impact of creative work. You’re passionate about story-driven branding, highly skilled in creative direction, and thrive in a fast-moving, bias-for-action environment. You don’t wait for permission to make things happen—you see the vision, and you build it.

What You’ll Do:
  • Lead Creative Vision – Own the creative strategy across all Branded Recruitment™ projects, ensuring every execution aligns with Only Co.’s mission and values.
  • Tell Stories That Matter – Develop compelling narratives and visuals that attract top talent to industrial businesses.
  • Create Only Co. Original Docuseries – Values in Action is more than a concept—it’s how we work. You’ll lead the creation of Only Co. Original Docuseries, where we bring real companies to life through immersive, story-driven recruitment films. These aren’t ads; they’re culture-defining projects that show—not just tell—why someone should want to work for our clients.
  • Manage & Inspire – Lead internal teams and external creative partners to deliver work that is both strategic and high-impact.
  • Stay Hands-On – While you guide the vision, you’re not afraid to jump in—whether it’s refining a design, directing a shoot, or shaping a brand identity.
  • Deliver Results – Ensure projects are executed on time, on budget, and to the highest creative standards.
  • Challenge the Status Quo – Push the boundaries of industrial branding by creating recruitment content that doesn’t just inform—it compels.
Our Core Values:

Cool People, Cool Projects – We believe great work starts with great people. We only work with clients, partners, and teammates who align with our mission and values.

Bias for Action – We move fast, make decisions, and adjust as we go. No waiting around for approval—just smart, intentional execution.

What if We Can, Not What if We Can’t – We believe in possibilities. If there’s a challenge in front of us, we solve it creatively.

Success Looks Like:

  • Our work moves the needle. Clients don’t just get great creative—they get measurable recruitment results.
  • We make things that last. Every campaign, video, and brand strategy builds a long-term employer brand, not just short-term hiring spikes.
  • Our Only Co. Original Docuseries redefine hiring. By showing Values in Action, these films become powerful recruitment magnets that create demand—not just fill open positions.
  • You push us forward. You’re not here to maintain the status quo—you elevate Only Co., constantly refining and evolving our creative approach.

The Opportunity:

This isn’t just another agency job. This is a chance to lead the creative charge in a space that desperately needs reinvention. Industrial businesses must learn to tell their story better, and Only Co. is pioneering that path.
