Why growing DTC brands outgrow US-only hiring

Every scaling DTC brand hits the same wall. A strong US operator for growth, creative, or ops now costs more than the budget allows, and the generic offshore VAs and BPO vendors that promise savings have never run an ecommerce P&L.
An international recruitment agency built for consumer brands solves both at once.

US comp packages keep climbing

A senior media buyer or retention lead in the US runs six figures before benefits. Most brands can't add three of them at once.

Offshore VAs miss the context

Staff augmentation and BPO vendors staff generalists who have never touched a Shopify catalog or a paid social account for a DTC brand.

Coordinating across time zones is hard

Hiring abroad yourself means guessing who can work your hours and managing the overlap on your own. We match every hire to the schedule your team actually needs.

International hiring feels risky

Contracts, benefits, and payment across borders stall brands before they start, so the good hire never happens.

You need a teammate, not a seat

Staff augmentation rents you a seat by the month. You need someone who joins the team and owns the outcome.

The talent isn't on job boards

The best international ecommerce operators are already working. Posting a role and waiting for applicants surfaces generalists, not the people who have actually run growth or creative for a DTC brand.

We help DTC and ecommerce brands hire vetted international talent across marketing, creative, and operations, at 40% to 60% less than a US hire and matched to your time zone. Tell us the role and we'll put qualified candidates in front of you within five business days.

How international hiring compares to a US hire

Most ecommerce brands weigh three options for a role: international talent placed by a specialist, an offshore staffing or BPO vendor, or a US in-house hire. Nearshore and offshore staffing both fall in that middle column. Here's how they stack up on what actually decides the hire.

How we make international hiring work for ecommerce brands

Hiring across borders only works when the logistics don't get in the way.
We handle sourcing, vetting, and communication so distance stays invisible in the day to day.

Time zone alignment

We source talent in time zones that overlap your workday. When your team is online, so is your hire, so reviews and approvals happen the same day instead of the next.

English proficiency and cultural fit

We vet for fluent, professional English and for the communication habits that make async collaboration with a US team work from week one.

Specialist depth, not generic outsourcing

Nearshore outsourcing and staff augmentation vendors sell hours. We place people who know DTC, from Shopify and Klaviyo to paid social and supply chain.

1 Client Intake Call

We begin with a structured intake so the role is defined before sourcing starts. That means getting specific about the work: a paid media buyer who owns Meta and Google, a retention lead who lives in Klaviyo, a video editor who cuts for paid social, or a Shopify ops manager who keeps the store running.

We map your current team, your tech stack, and the gaps the hire needs to close. If you already work with a US agency or a fractional lead, we scope the role around what they don't cover.

From scope to comp range, we align on expectations early. You define the outcome you want. We build the hiring profile around it.

2 First Interviews in 5 Days

Within five business days, we present vetted candidates aligned to your brief. Each one is screened with your custom intake questions and evaluated on real ecommerce experience, portfolio or account results, and communication.

We prioritize operators who have done the work for a DTC or CPG brand, not generalists learning ecommerce on your time. Every candidate is checked for fluent English and the async habits that make working across time zones smooth.

You meet qualified talent fast. We hold the quality bar for the entire search.

3 Weekly Refinement

International hiring works best with tight feedback loops. We give you one place to track candidates, feedback, and interview stages so nothing gets lost across time zones.

We run weekly alignment calls and stay in direct contact to recalibrate as your feedback comes in. Each week, we sharpen the profile based on what you saw in the last round.

You focus on judging fit. We adjust the search to land a hire who stays and grows with your team.

Why ecommerce brands choose our international recruitment services

Ecommerce specialists only

We recruit for DTC and CPG brands and nothing else. Every candidate we send has run the work for a consumer brand, so you skip the ramp time a generalist needs to learn ecommerce. That focus is why our shortlists turn into hires faster.

An active operator network

We source from a vetted network of international ecommerce operators, not job boards or a pile of cold applicants. We know who is good before you need them, which is how first interviews land in five days. You get people already doing this work, not resumes to sort through.

Speed and a risk-free model

First interviews land in five business days, and you pay nothing until you make a hire. Every placement is backed by a replacement guarantee, so the risk of hiring across borders sits with us, not you.

Direct hires, not vendor seats

Your hire joins your team, reports to you, and works your hours. This is direct placement, not staff augmentation or a rented BPO seat, so you build lasting capacity inside the company instead of renting it by the month.

FAQ - Common questions about international ecommerce hiring

How is this different from nearshore or offshore staffing?

Nearshore and offshore staffing lock you into one region before you've seen a candidate. We start from the role and your preferences, then recruit from wherever the right person is, whether that's Latin America, the Philippines, or elsewhere. Same ecommerce vetting, no region decided for you upfront.

How much can we save hiring international talent versus a US hire?

Brands typically pay 40% to 60% less than a comparable US salary for the same seniority, while keeping quality and communication high

How do you handle payroll, contracts, and compliance for international hires? 

You employ and pay the hire directly, in whatever way fits your setup, whether that's a contractor agreement or your own employer of record. Constant Hire is not an EOR and does not run payroll. We guide you on offer structure and comp benchmarks and point you toward the right options, then you own the employment relationship.

How fast can we hire? 

You get your first vetted candidates within five business days of the intake call. Most international placements move from search to signed offer in two to four weeks.

What if the hire doesn't work out? 

Our model is contingent. You pay nothing until you make a hire, and the placement is backed by a replacement guarantee.

Which roles do you place? 

Marketing and growth, creative, ecommerce operations, customer experience, tech and data, sales, and finance. Every candidate has ecommerce or DTC experience, so you're hiring a specialist, not a generic virtual assistant.

Growing an ecommerce brand shouldn't mean choosing between US-level talent and a budget that works. Book a call and we'll map the roles you need, share what comparable international talent costs, and put your first vetted candidates in front of you within five business days.
