Recruiting Manager - Amazon & eCommerce Talent

We're a growth consultancy for Amazon brands. We've worked with 350+ brands, and the portfolio we manage does close to $1B in combined annual marketplace revenue. We win by putting genuinely elite Amazon operators next to our clients. Which is exactly the problem this role solves — those people are rare, expensive, and almost never on the open market. We've been fighting for them through agencies and cold outreach, and we've decided we'd rather own it properly.

About the role

You'd be our first dedicated recruiting hire, and you'd build the function rather than inherit it. You'd own the full funnel, end to end: role kickoff, job description, sourcing strategy, screening, interview loop design, and offer. This is ownership, not coordination — you decide how the process runs and are accountable for the numbers.

Responsibilities

• Outbound sourcing: Build target lists, run LinkedIn and email sequences, and engage senior Amazon operators who aren't actively job-hunting.
• First interviews: Screen 20–30 candidates a month and deliver a shortlist with written recommendations to partners.
• Configure and maintain our ATS (Breezy) to run the process, including stages, scorecards, templates, automations, and reporting.
• Manage agencies and headhunters: Brief them properly, enforce SLAs, and phase them out where we can do it better ourselves.
• Maintain a bench of pre-qualified, warm Amazon talent to avoid starting searches from zero.

Requirements

• 4+ years in recruiting, with at least two years running roles full-cycle (not just sourcing support or coordination).
• Data-driven mindset: Track and optimize reply rates, stage conversion, time-to-hire, and offer-accept rates.
• Strong outbound sourcing skills: Experience building lists from scratch and writing sequences that engage senior passive candidates.
• Hands-on ATS experience: Ability to configure any modern ATS (Breezy is a plus).
• Excellent written English: Outreach must sound personal and compelling.
• Comfortable working independently without an HR department above you.

Skills

• Experience hiring in Amazon, e-commerce, performance marketing, or digital agencies (e.g., PPC managers, brand managers, marketplace ops, agency consultants).
• Agency or headhunting background.
• Fluency with sourcing tools: LinkedIn Recruiter, Apollo, Clay, Boolean/x-ray search, AI sourcing.
• Working hours with solid overlap with Central European Time and US Eastern.

Pay

• Base: $3,500–$5,000/month, depending on experience and location.
• Per-hire bonus for every hire that passes 90 days, scaled by seniority.
• Quarterly performance bonus tied to KPIs (time-to-hire, retention, cost-per-hire, shortlist quality).
• On-target earnings: $50,000–$120,000/year.

You'll also receive a dedicated hiring budget and access to premium sourcing tools (no free LinkedIn accounts).

Why this role?

At a bigger company, you'd own a slice of a process designed by someone else. Here, you design the entire function. You report directly to the partners, set KPIs with us, and see changes implemented quickly. The trade-off: no HR team, no coordinator, and no escalation path — if that sounds like a problem, this isn't the role. If it sounds like the point, it probably is.
