E-Commerce Recruitment Pipeline via Cold Email
Engagement_Brief
Needed a scalable outreach system to connect e-commerce companies with specialized talent
The Challenge
The firm, a San Diego-based e-commerce recruitment firm, needed a systematic way to source both clients and candidates in the e-commerce space. Their outreach was manual and inconsistent, limiting the number of placements they could generate.
Our Approach
Over a 3-month engagement, we built two core assets:
Cold Email Infrastructure: We set up properly authenticated sending infrastructure and built outreach sequences targeting e-commerce companies with active hiring needs. The messaging was tailored to the specific pain points of scaling e-commerce teams.
eCOM Talent Database: We developed a targeted database of e-commerce talent and companies, giving the firm a proprietary asset they could continue leveraging after the engagement.
Results
In 3 months:
- 2 successful placements completed
- $20-30K in placement commissions earned
- 10-15% ROI on the engagement investment
The infrastructure and database built during the engagement continue to serve as the foundation for the firm's outreach operations.
