There’s a shift happening in ecommerce recruitment. Brands that once focused on hiring locally are now actively seeking talent across borders, not just to reduce costs, but to build more agile, high-performing teams.
Remote work has removed the traditional barriers. What was once considered complex - navigating international talent markets, dealing with compliance, hiring across time zones - has become a strategic edge for ecommerce companies that get it right.
Whether you’re scaling your DTC team or building out in-house performance marketing, tapping into global talent pools can help you find sharper candidates, move faster, and build resilience into your hiring strategy.
So where should you start?
Talent shortages in local markets are nothing new, but in ecommerce, the pressure’s amplified.
You need people who get growth loops. People who can build email journeys that convert, test creative hooks at scale, and plug into your tech stack without friction. Not every local candidate has that. And when they do? You’re competing with 10 other brands for their attention.
Opening up to global talent gives ecommerce brands three major advantages:
Need a Klaviyo expert who speaks fluent lifecycle marketing? Or a Meta Ads strategist who knows how to structure UGC campaigns for 7-figure ROAS? You might not find them down the street. But you can find them. If you widen your search.
Global hiring expands the talent pool, which usually means you’ll fill roles faster. For ecommerce companies scaling quickly, that agility matters.
Yes, there are countries where the average salary is lower. But the real win is being able to hire full-time equivalents in roles that might otherwise have to be fractional or outsourced.
Some roles just lend themselves better to remote or global hiring. Ecommerce companies that work with Constant Hire often look internationally for:
These are roles where impact matters more than location - and where the right person can slot into your team and start making a difference fast.
Global hiring isn’t a magic fix. It’s a tradeoff - and when you understand the give and take, you’ll make smarter decisions.
Here’s a breakdown of what you actually gain by hiring across borders:
The good news? Most of these are solvable with the right processes - and the right recruitment partner.
Let’s get practical. Where are ecommerce brands actually finding top performers?
We’ve helped brands hire across dozens of countries, but some regions consistently produce standout candidates - especially for DTC and Shopify-focused roles.
Other regions like South Africa, Eastern Europe, and parts of Southeast Asia are also worth exploring depending on the role, budget, and language needs.
It’s not just about finding the talent - it’s about making the hire stick.
Here’s what smart ecommerce companies do differently:
Being technically skilled is great. But can they write a clear Slack update? Can they raise a blocker without being prompted? These things matter even more when working remotely.
Some people are happy to shift hours. Others aren’t. Be transparent about overlap expectations to avoid resentment or burnout.
Loom, Notion, Slack, G-Suite - whatever your stack, make sure your global team can access everything they need without waiting on others.
Give them context. Share performance expectations. Include them in the banter. Global doesn’t mean disposable - treat them like your local team.
If you’re hiring locally, you can probably figure things out in-house.
But if you’re serious about global ecommerce recruitment, working with an agency like Constant Hire can save you time, risk, and energy.
