Tambo success story
Our work with Tambo
Our specialist marketplace recruiter, Patrick Murray, first started working with Tambo in 2020. In that time, he has supported the business with a number of Amazon and Marketplace hires, including...
- Marketplace Manager
- Amazon Advertising Manager
- Senior Marketplace Manager
- Senior Amazon Advertising Executive
The challenge of identifying Amazon and Marketplace talent
The competition for top-tier Amazon candidates is fierce. Every brand is investing in Amazon as not only a sales channel, but a brand awareness and customer acquisition channel. As such more and more Amazon agencies are competing for the same talent. However, as Amazon expertise is still relatively new, the demand far outweighs supply.
A long-term recruitment partner
Patrick has built an excellent relationship with the Tambo’s CEO, MD, Managing Partner and Associate Directors. He hasn't only watched them evolve and grow as a leading Amazon agency but played a part in their expansion.
As Tambo naturally grew and acquired a number of exciting global brands, Patrick has been on hand to support with their recruitment needs. This has included expanding headcount to manage increased workload, as well as replacing departing team members when the time comes.
We have partnered with Tambo on an exclusive basis and became a real extension of their team. Their long-term partnership has allowed Patrick to build an understanding of the technical skills required to work in all of Tambo’s roles. Plus, he knows exactly what personality and soft skills are required to excel in the agency.
Expert Amazon and Marketplace recruitment support
Patrick is incredibly well networked and respected in the Amazon and Marketplace space. As a true representative of Tambo, he is constantly uncovering new talent and sharing great profiles with them. He always delivers a strong shortlist within days of being briefed on a role and provides open, honest, fair and critical feedback and communication throughout all stages of the process.
Consistent communication has been key to successful recruitment processes. In a competitive environment it’s not uncommon for great candidates to have several options available to them simultaneously. Patrick ensured Tambo were constantly aware of market conditions and where people were in their processes so they could adapt their approach accordingly.
There are always challenges when recruiting great talent but having a very honest and friendly relationship allows us to come up with solutions in real time to make things work.
Demand is high and supply, whilst increasing, is widely varied in terms of expertise. That's where Patrick comes in. I can't speak to his 'goal machine' claims, though when it comes to recruiting good Amazon people, he deserves a proper shout out. He takes time to understand our business, our culture and expectations, meaning that when he recommends that we speak to a candidate, it's worth taking the time to meet them. He makes the effort to get to know his candidates too, operating in a way that feels honest & fair for all parties. The end result is a better interview process all-round and more great people joining our business.
When I think about the top-notch folks in the recruitment world, especially those who excel in finding talent for Amazon, Patrick is the first person who comes to mind! I had the pleasure of working alongside Patrick for a good while (quite a few years now), and let me tell you, he's the real deal when it comes to sourcing fantastic candidates. What makes Patrick stand out is his infectious enthusiasm for everything Amazon, whether it's diving into Advertising or mastering Operations. He doesn't just sit back and watch..... he's right in the mix, attending events and even taking charge of organising them, so he's always ahead of the game.
