I tend to gravitate towards the thing that will pay me the quickest, and I had customers who were willing to pay me very fast based on my, like, relationship and experience in e-commerce.
Who wants to be a customer?" And I had five people put their hands up, sign contracts.
And so it was a combination of doing that from the Amazon FBA days, from working on the Shopify app for nine months, and then, you know, I'm not very public with the e-commerce business, but have an e-commerce business with a team of 20 over there that we've been running for the past four years as well.
And so, like, I would share a lot of e-commerce learning, so I had quite an audience in the e-commerce category as well.
Um, so what does a typical customer for, you know, your recruiting business look like?
Over, over $10 million a year is kind of, like, the floor, and ideally good employer branding across the board.
Because we do primarily only contingent-based recruiting, what I've quickly realized is that if you're under $10 million a year, which for an e-commerce business could legitimately be one person, it's very hard to convince somebody to quit their job and come work for you.
And the e-commerce space also is notorious for working with two types of labor under that kind of sub-10.
It's overseas labor, where they're just, like, candidly, like, very excited to be working for a US employer because they'll make more money than their local space.
So you can kind of have less processes and whatnot, or fractional freelance contractors, whatever, who operate very much as a business, and again, they're just happy to get business.
Eventually we'll want to expand that service line, but it's primarily direct hires today.
