Digital Matchmaker for 100 candidates

Recession? No jobs? What is this waffle?

With ecommerce growing, cranberry panda places a whopping 100 candidates.

Hearing continuous talk of ‘doom and gloom’ regarding jobs on the news, and us pandas could be forgiven for living in another realm. To be fair, the ecommerce sector is another story altogether, the number of jobs is continuously growing and there are by far a greater number of roles than there are candidates. So it would be an understatement to say that we have exceeeded our own expectations. We are definitely popping the champers and celebrating our triumph in matchmaking 100 candidates with their dream jobs.

While the traditional job market continues to struggle worldwide, the future is optimistic for online work. The average freelancer expects to earn 43% more in 2013 than they did this year. This rise in earnings is translating into more jobs for all as 42% of independent professionals plan to hire other freelancers to build their businesses in 2013. (Full report here: The State of the Freelance Market - September 2012)

It's no accident either; we adapt to current trends and are advocates of innovation.  A very "decent" number of our placements have been recruited through social media. We are definitely not one dimensional and neither are our candidates. Our unique selling point is that 100% of us pandas come from ecommerce (not recruitment) so we fully understand the industry we are recruiting for.

“We truly believe this would not have been possible without our knowledge in the field which we recruit, ecommerce. As every member of the cranberry panda family has previously worked in ecommerce, we pride ourselves on being insightful, committed, dedicated and experienced. We have worked with start-ups to help build their teams from scratch and global brands struggling to find the perfect match.” Jonathan Hall, Founder & Chief Panda.

This year, cranberry panda has been shortlisted for the prestigious MARAs in November. We are finalists in the following four categories; Best Client Service, Best Candidate Experience, Recruitment Boss of the Year and Best Social Media Strategy. This is a huge achievement for cranberry panda - we were finalists for just one category last year. So we will be keeping our paws crossed!
