About Ecommerce Recruiter
Ecommerce Recruiter is the recruiting resource that smart companies call before engaging a retained search firm.
We specialize in contingency based Manager, Director, VP, SVP, and CXO-level executive searches for transactional multichannel ecommerce: All of our Clients and Candidates specialize in selling stuff online – be it products, services, or content. We are in constant contact with the Internet industry’s best players, and we speak their language and offer them the best career opportunities. Period.
Domestic + International. B2B + B2C. Small + Large companies.
Our stock-and-trade is low-maintenance, business-oriented e-commerce candidates who know how to make money online in a way that will complement your company’s existing offline marketing efforts. Our candidates will think holistically about your business and grow your top line in a way that is “pie enlarging” — not “pie rearranging.” Indeed, we screen all of our e-commerce candidates rigorously for this one, unique trait.
Salaries can range from $75K to $250K/up + bonus + options.
Our decision to handle gritty, line-level ecommerce jobs is deliberate: These searches allow us to maintain a “trench-level perspective” on the daily challenges being faced by our VP, SVP, and CXO candidates. We know what they are up against, and this helps us identify senior executive candidates who will get their hands dirty when necessary.

What Clients Have To Say
About Harry
I had a great experience working with Harry Joiner. Yes, he has a great knowledge of the ecommerce world and wanted to learn/understand my business as I expected. But, the thing I liked and respected even more was their ability to filter quickly and their sense of urgency. They are driven entrepreneurs who have a formula that seems perfect for e-commerce recruiting. Ultimately, their approach delivered a positive, satisfied customer from a process that can often exhausting.
Martin McClanan President / CEO, GiftTree
I have known Harry for over a decade now and having dealt with literally dozens and dozens of recruiters, I can easily say that he is the most savvy, skilled, knowledgeable and insightful recruiter I know. He just helped place me in a new role. He has the business smarts and the industry knowledge of the best senior executive. And he has empathy and compassion and connects as a real human being. I highly recommend him and will be using his services for any hiring needs I have in the future.
Matthew Kirsch Director of Ecommerce, Vida Shoes International
Put simply, Harry is the most knowledgeable and awesome recruiter I’ve ever worked with.
Derrick Dinglasan SVP at Jaanuu, Ecommerce Growth
I had the pleasure of connecting with Harry as I approached my next career transition. I was impressed by Harry's command and depth in D2C eCommerce. His experience in the space was unlike that of any other recruiter I had spoken to. Additionally he was leveraging strategic frameworks I generally applied to business problems to provide a fresh lens and perspective to how I positioned and developed myself as a candidate. Truly unique and valuable advisor for anyone seeking executive roles in the digital space and digital marketing in particular.
Pooja Watson VP of Strategy, Huge Inc
Harry is the top ecommerce recruiter in the country. I originally spoke with him over 10 years ago, shared my career aspirations with him and he coached me on a path forward. At the time, I had spent the first 10 years of my career focused on the technology side of ecommerce and had limited marketing experience. He advised that I needed more balance, I followed his advice and he just placed me at my dream job. My recent experience with him was outstanding. He did a great job writing a thorough job description for the VP of E-Commerce role at US Electrical Services and was very involved throughout the process. Harry is a passionate and dedicated guy and I highly recommend him.
Mike Mayer VP of Ecommerce, US Electrical Services
What makes Harry so effective is his ability to assess candidates' strengths, motivations and fit for the job opportunities. Unlike some firms who only surface resumes, Harry provides detailed assessments which gives confidence to both the hiring team and the candidate being considered.
Laurie Barkman CMO, Burns White LLC
Harry is my recruiter of choice for eCommerce and Marketing positions. He has filled numerous positions for me, always providing top-notch candidates allowing me to close searches in a timely fashion. As a true specialist in the space, Harry has a pulse on industry rock stars, and his extensive networking and research helps him stay close to emerging talent. I am also grateful to Harry for some tremendous advice on how to conduct my own job search as an executive in transition.

About Allan
Allan is quite literally the best recruiter I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I have been in the eCommerce space for over 15 years and have never been so impressed. He thoroughly vetted every single candidate that came across my desk and didn't send me anyone who wasn't great. I am very happy to have had the privilege of working with him and can't wait to do it again.
Jason Marshall CMO, GiftTree
Allan provided KIND Snacks with Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). He reviewed all internal and external applications, managed all initial vetting and provided insightful candidate write-ups, helping us put together the 'short list' of viable candidates quickly.
Allan's knowledge of Ecommerce and Digital Marketing plus his ability to understand what KIND needed in the role were evident as we interviewed those candidates he recommended. Allan's recommendations were spot on, and helped us close our search quickly. Bottom line: I high recommend Allan if you're trying to fill any open ecom/digital positions.
Jared Lukin Vice President of Ecommerce, KIND Snacks
Allan recruited me for my current position and I couldn't thank him enough. He took the time to discuss all of my concerns to verify that I'd be a great fit. He always got back to me in a timely manner and answered all of my questions. Allan is wonderful to work with and I'd highly recommend him.
Bethany Wallace Email & Mobile Marketing Manager, Shoe Carnival, Inc.
Allan is an absolute allstar. I rarely write recommendations but this was extremely justified. Allan was always extremely prepared and was great at preparing for the interview. I highly recommend Allan, one of the greats in the industry.
Brian Rogers North American Digital Commerce Leader, NewBalance.com

Teresa Hammond CMO, 4moms
When I worked with EcommerceRecruiter.com previously as a hiring manager at Orvis, I found Harry and team to be top notch.
Recently I found myself on the other side of the fence needing to relocate for personal reasons, I had the pleasure of working directly with Allan. He is the most professional and ethical executive recruiter I have ever met. Unlike most recruiters Allan and Harry know a ton about Ecommerce. In the end Allan matched me up with the perfect opportunity in my number one choice of locations. Austin, TX.
Phillip Young VP of Ecommerce, FramesDirect.com/Essilor
Working with Allan was by far the BEST experience I have ever had working with a recruiter. I was relocating to a new city with a small eCommerce market and Allan was able to help me find the perfect role. He was helpful in so many ways, preparing me for the interview process and coaching me toward success. As a recruiter, Allan truly cares about you and your future regardless if he places the position or not. I cannot recommend Allan enough. If you are looking for someone to help fill a role or find a role for you, Allan has the skills and passion to do so. Thank you Allan, I truly appreciate your help and couldn’t have landed my new role without you.
Jamie Alber Director of Online Marketing, TGW.com
Allan helped us with a search for a Customer Experience Manager. He provided a wide variety of high quality candidates very quickly, and we ended up finding and hiring an outstanding candidate within a matter of weeks. I would highly recommend Allan for any eCommerce searches.
Michael Wittmeyer CEO, JM Bullion
Allan is one of the best. I can't really say it better than that. His skill and personable approach during our initial phone interviews immediately put me at ease. His approach with matching my skillset with the right company was flawless. He was always there when needed and continually seeking ways to help. At the end of every call Allan would end with “is there anything more I can do to help you”? I say without reservation, Allan is one of the best executive recruiters I have ever worked with. He is a great guy who truly cares about the individuals he is placing.
Keith Foy Senior Director Ecommerce - North America, Sunglasshut.com
What I look for in a recruiter is persistence, scale of network and on occasion, counsel. Allan is all of this and much more. Allan always took time to explain job opportunities to me in full. He would also insert his expertise and guidance when prompted, which really made for a "team" effort when I found my last job. Allan is very professional and seems to work 24/7. You expect those in any recruiter but Allan does it with a little more flare and energy. Thank you Allan for all the help and when the time comes, I look forward to working together again.
