Our Process
How Do We Hire and Set Up Your Offshore Marketplace Specialist?
We find the right person for your role, vet them properly, and have them working in your business in about four weeks.
- 1. Briefing
A short call to understand the role, the tasks, the tools you use and the kind of person who'll fit your team. We get the brief right before we start looking. - 2. Sourcing
We go out and recruit specifically for your role — fresh candidates matched to your brief from our talent pool in India, not assigned from a generic bench. - 3. Screening
We run the first two interview rounds and skills tests ourselves, assessing ability, experience and business English, so only genuinely capable candidates reach you. - 4. Final interview
You take the final interview and make the decision on who joins your team. If you'd rather we place the strongest screened candidate, we can do that too. - 5. Onboarding
We set your hire up properly — your systems and logins, SOPs, NDA, time tracking and UK working hours — so they're ready to work from day one. - 6. Ongoing support
Your dedicated account manager stays involved with regular check-ins and reporting, handles additional hires as you scale, and puts things right if you're ever unhappy.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Cost vs a UK hire?
From £1,250/month (~£15,000/yr) vs ~£45k UK fully loaded — up to 62% less. Unlike many agencies, our fee isn't a percentage of your sales.
What does a marketplace specialist do?
Manages your Amazon/eBay/Etsy channels — listings, marketplace SEO, sponsored ads, account health, pricing and reporting.
Dedicated specialist vs a marketplace agency?
A dedicated specialist gives your accounts daily attention on a flat fee and learns your catalogue deeply. Agencies often take a percentage of sales and split focus.
Do they know Amazon Seller Central and PPC?
Yes — mid and senior specialists manage Seller Central, Amazon Advertising/PPC, A+ content and account-health appeals.
Marketplace specialist vs ecommerce manager?
A marketplace specialist runs third-party channels (Amazon/eBay); an ecommerce manager runs your own store. Many sellers need both, working together.
Can they protect my account health?
Yes — monitoring metrics, handling cases/appeals and keeping you policy-compliant is core to the role, and critical on Amazon especially.
UK hours?
Yes — aligned with your team and UK marketplace activity. Standard hours are 9–6 with a one-hour lunch; if you don't run on typical hours, your hire can work whatever full-time hours you need.
Is my account data safe?
Yes — NDAs, GDPR, our ISO 27001-certified offshore facility, permissions you control (you keep account ownership).
How fast to start?
3–4 weeks typically.
Not the right fit?
90-day guarantee — if you're unhappy in the first 90 days, we replace within two weeks at no extra cost.
