Navigating E-commerce Talent Acquisition
Employers in the fast-growing e-commerce industry face unique recruitment challenges. Pandemic lockdowns prompted a boom in online shopping, and that growth trend hasn’t reversed as brick-and-mortar storefronts reopened. In-person retail has met a variety of replacements. Between websites, kiosks, direct mail, call centers, social media sales points, and smart TV shopping, today’s customers have more choice of where to buy products than we could ever have imagined.
Meeting the Demand for E-commerce Talent
The other side of this equation, though, is that candidates with e-commerce skills and experience have their choice of where to work, as well. There are often more positions available in this area than there are job seekers. The rising competition for talent across North America necessitates a strategic approach from businesses with manager jobs, executive roles, and other critical opportunities to fill. Many employers have taken to raising salaries and expanding benefits packages to meet their recruiting goals, and are still struggling to find the right candidate for their team.
