In order to build the best shopify products, you need to recruit high impact teams. To achieve this we created a process that identified and attracted talented eCommerce specialists, who hold the same customers first values as Charle!
As Charle is a new brand in the market we created a recruitment campaign to show a specialist, agile, inquisitive agency that would appeal to creatives, marketers, software engineers and business development specialists. Building on Charles awesome site and case studies we attracted a wave of creative thinkers keen to innovate at scale and join a team of incredible people creating new digital products within the evolving Shopify Ecosystem.
We spent time learning and understanding Charles requirements to ensure any pontential introduction has the required shopify knowledge
Charle has great copy and an engaging tone of voice, we ensured all of our communications and engagements replicated this as an introduction to the brand
Working with the founder we identified how he would like the business to grow, what type of professionals he works best with, and his vision for the business in 12-24 months time, and aligned this with our candidates motivations
We identified key companies and candidates within the Shopify and eCommerce domain to engage with
For every role we advertised on LinkedIn, National and Specialist Job Boards
We engaged with our extensive network of eCommerce and Shopify specialists, as well as connecting with the candidates Charle had identified as key professionals they would like to work with
We completed a minimum of two stage interviews with every candidate via telephone and video. This was to identify their skill and culture fit and ensured they were right to support the business growth
Our candidates via our recruitment platform creating a bespoke process for each role discipline across Design, Marketing, Development and Sales
We outlined the end to end process to every candidate, we contacted them frequently and timely and kept everyone informed and up to date

Charle is a growing agency, they want to create a great place to work and know this is the difference between being a good company and a great company! We ensured this was a key part to every recruitment process
To date Candi have supported us to make several contract and permanent hires.
Charle was founded in 2018, the business has been growing steadily over the last 18 months and at key stages I have required designers, marketers, content professionals and front end shopify developers to support a range ecommerce projects.
Candi has provided an efficient recruitment process and delivered several key hires who are exceptional within their fields.
Candi understood Charles hiring needs and ethos, they knew that to work in a successful start-up every hire is key, as the new team members would need to keep up with a fast-moving dynamic agency environment.
Our permanent hires were for a New Business Manager and several Shopify Developers to support our next stage of growth, these hires had to be right!
Our contract hires were for ecommerce Digital Designers and Marketing Professionals that are used to working in agency environments and used to supporting customers directly.
Candi offered advice with regards to the structure of the campaigns and reassured us that we had right interview process in place.
With their support the hiring process was efficient and well managed, the talent portal they created was personalised to us and held all essential information regarding each candidate. The shortlisting was a one click process, the feedback was easy to present and the employment offer and onboarding was straight forward for all parties.
I highly recommend Candi for any digital freelance or permanent hires.
