Connor Gillivan is a serial entrepreneur and an expert in eCommerce and online hiring. He co-founded his first eCommerce company out of his dorm room in 2009 and scaled it to sell over $20 million on the Amazon Marketplace. As the business grew, Connor started outsourcing many operations to contractors and became an expert at hiring online.
In 2015, Connor and Nathan Hirsch created FreeeUp, an online hiring marketplace specialized for the eCommerce and digital marketing industries. FreeeUp provides a better way to hire reliable remote workers without having to spend hours upfront recruiting and interviewing. Today, FreeeUp serves over 2,000 online businesses and is rapidly becoming a favorite destination to hire online.
In this episode, I talk with Connor about how he runs marketing at FreeeUp and what tools and processes he uses to build his business, recruit job seekers and find those looking to hire on-line marketers.
