The e-commerce world is rapidly evolving with the addition of big-name brands and startups. From retail to streaming services, consumers have a plethora of shopping options. Furthermore, shopping channels are a preferred method of retail therapy for several reasons, including convenience, the age of smartphones, and social media integration. With access to so many smart devices, it makes sense for career seekers to search online.
According to Harry Joiner, an e-commerce recruiting extraordinaire, fulfilling premiere job positions equivocates to drafting elite sports figures such as Tom Brady and Steph Curry. As an e-commerce recruiter, he and his business partner are highly selective. He also understands the business side of recruiting, such as economics and the client’s business strategy. But what else goes into this new-age recruiting process?

Harry explains attracting A-level talent for companies, including developing a business strategy, identifying elite candidates, learning new skills, and more.

This episode is brought to you by Ecomm Breakthrough Consulting where I help seven figure ecommerce owners grow to eight figures. Of course…
I started Hadley Designs in 2015 and grew it to an eight-figure brand in seven years.
I made mistakes along the way that made the path to eight figures longer. At times I doubted whether our business could even survive and become a real brand. I wish I would have had a guide to help me grow faster and avoid the stumbling blocks.
