A successful marketplace takes more than just the right technology. It takes the right people to keep everything running smoothly. But finding an experienced marketplace specialist? That’s often easier said than done.
Operai supports companies with recruiting, screening and onboarding the right specialist, tailored to your e-commerce project, your team and your market. With our unique mix of marketplace expertise and an extensive network, we find the profiles others overlook.
Why seek support in finding a marketplace specialist?
Many companies realise they need someone to lead their marketplace project, but aren’t always sure who they are looking for or what the role really involves. This often leads to mismatches or wrong hires, delays in projects or even a failed launch.
Operai supports companies with:
- Defining the right marketplace specialist profile (operational, strategic or both)
- Sourcing suitable candidates through a targeted and reliable network
- Screening and interviewing your selected marketplace profiles
- Effective onboarding and follow-up during the project
We operate independently of traditional recruitment agencies, with a laser focus on marketplace roles in both B2B and B2C contexts.
What does the support involve?
We support the entire process, from intake to onboarding. Depending on your needs, we step in wherever you need us most:
“Companies often know they need someone, but not who they actually need. We help define that and deliver the most qualified person.”
Niels Jaspers, Managing partner
