We pandas love every kind of sneak peek into how the world of ecommerce is moving forward. Even better, we can’t keep these secrets to ourselves so you lucky people can share the fun! Today we want to know how ecommerce roles have changed over the last 12 months.
Our wonderful 2015 salary survey has been a source of insights, and has opened doors to some interesting discussions. If you have yet to read it, get your paws on our latest ecommerce salary survey report.
In 2014, 85% per cent of all respondents were in permanent roles. The remaining 15% were in contract or temporary roles. However, our 2015 findings show quite the rise in those within permanent roles.
90% of respondents have permanent positions within ecommerce. It remains a perm driven market, and indicates that in-house staff are viewed as the best way to achieve results.
There could be countless reasons but, using other areas of our salary survey, we have made a few conclusions of our own! Of course, all these findings can apply to temporary and contract roles. However, we wanted to explore the rise of permanent placements from 2014 in isolation.
Linking this to another role essential, ‘opportunity to progress’, it is clear that standing out within an ecommerce team really appeals to our respondents. Finding a team they can call their second home, then have the chance to climb the ladder of success is certainly a growing trend.
