Scoring priorities for E-commerce
Every point of the score maps to an evidence quote from the CV. Dimensions, weights and critical requirements are shown alongside each candidate — the score supports judgment, it doesn't replace it.
What we evaluate in E-commerce hires
Dimensions specific to E-commerce — not a generic checklist.
Dimension
Channel ownership
Named channels run (DTC, Amazon, wholesale, retail media) with revenue scope and platform.
Strong signal
A e-commerce CV that names its channel ownership outright: the work, the dates, the scope it owned, and something a reference can confirm.
Watch-out
Channel ownership asserted for e-commerce with nothing named behind it — no dates, no scope, no way to tell individual work from team credit.
How TaaSFlow validates
Every e-commerce match against this signal is tied to a quoted CV line and reviewed before the shortlist reaches you.

Compliance
Compliance handled in the workflow

- Right to work
- Authorisation and location captured as requirements up front.
- Advertising standards
- Regulated-claims experience recorded where the role requires it.
Approval controls
Who has to agree before anything moves
Balanced configuration: one approval, evidence verified for commercial claims, reversible decisions.
- Approval before client visibility
- No candidate appears in a client workspace until a reviewer approves them for that specific role.
- Evidence verification
- Extracted evidence is reviewable line by line, and a reviewer can confirm or reject each finding before it counts.
- Separate contact release
- Seeing a candidate and seeing their contact details are two different permissions, released independently.
- Reversible decisions
- Client decisions stay reversible for a short window, so a mis-click never becomes a permanent outcome.
- Full audit trail
- Every state change records who did it, when, and against which rubric version.

E-commerce hiring FAQ
Can you separate DTC from marketplace experience?
Yes. Channel is a first-class intake field, and DTC, Amazon/marketplace and wholesale experience are scored on their own evidence.
Do you account for seasonal hiring spikes?
Yes. Roles tied to peak-period ramp-up move through the same days-not-weeks shortlist window as any other requisition.
How do you evaluate growth marketing claims?
CAC, AOV, LTV and channel-specific ROAS figures are quoted from the CV with the source line, so your team can sanity-check the numbers.
Can you hire for a platform migration?
Yes. Platform history (Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, headless) is captured explicitly so migrations aren't staffed on assumed familiarity.
