We are a RetailTech recruitment agency. We place eCommerce, point-of-sale, order management and merchandising engineers with retailers, marketplaces and commerce software vendors. Tell us where the gap is.

Why RetailTech hiring is different

Retail engineering is judged on two things that pull against each other: conversion and accuracy. The storefront has to stay fast and frictionless, while stock, pricing and orders have to stay correct across every channel at the same time.

Peak trading makes both harder. A platform that behaves all year can buckle on Black Friday, and an order management system that drifts by a few units quietly turns into oversells and refunds. Engineers who have traded through a peak season carry judgement that does not show up on a CV.

Ways to engage us

Retail hiring is seasonal by nature, so we work in four different ways:

  1. Tech recruitment
  2. Staff augmentation
  3. Dedicated development teams
  4. Custom IT staffing

How the search runs

  1. Brief. We agree the technical must-haves, where the role sits between storefront and back office, and a salary band that holds up against retail and vendor competition. If the timeline is unrealistic before peak, we say so.
  2. Search. We approach engineers inside retailers and commerce vendors directly. The ones who have survived a peak season are rarely on the market.
  3. Screen and shortlist. We screen on the layer you are hiring into: storefront and web performance, order and inventory correctness, search and merchandising, or checkout and payments.
  4. Offer and aftercare. We manage offer and notice, with an eye on retail change-freeze periods, then stay involved while the person beds in.
