Our specialist recruiters began working with, award-winning and fast-growing multi-website online retailer, Beyond Retail, when their Commercial Director needed support to build-out of his marketing team.
The business was entering a period of scale and transformation, and they needed to strengthen specialist capability across ecommerce, affiliate, and trade marketing. Our dedicated recruiters worked closely with the team to deliver hires across each of these areas.
Founded in 2024, Beyond Retail is a fast-growing ecommerce business focused on strengthening its commercial and digital performance.
As the company scaled, it became clear that specialist marketing hires were required to unlock the next phase of growth. Their Commercial Director was tasked with building a high-performing team capable of delivering growth. The goal was clear: build a future-ready marketing engine for 2026 and beyond.
Hiring three very different roles at the same time is an incredibly challenging and time-consuming task. With no internal talent team to support, Commercial Director, Paul Lewis, was looking to engage the following roles:
Having exhausted his own personal network, Paul decided to engage our specilist marketing recruiters to find the talent required to scale. As some time had passed since the searches began, time was now of the essence.
3Search’s Growth & DTC specialists – Jasmin Eastwood, Harri Goode and Laura McManus - worked in partnership with Paul to deliver candidates aligned not only on skillset, but on business stage and commercial ambition.
Our bespoke hiring team structured the search as a coordinated hiring sprint:
Rather than overwhelming the business with interviews, we delivered tightly curated shortlists that allowed Paul to move efficiently.
All three roles were successfully filled. Paul completed his 2025 hiring objectives and established a strengthened marketing function ready for the next stage of growth. The team is now set up to deliver commercially in 2026.
I worked with Jasmin and the team at 3Search across a range of ecommerce and performance marketing hires, including affiliate roles. The quality of candidates was consistently high, communication was clear throughout, and the hires themselves have gone on to make a real impact. That, ultimately, is what matters most.
