5 Recruiting Tips for your Direct-to-Consumer Fashion Brand
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) fashion brands are becoming increasingly popular, thanks to their ability to sell directly to consumers without the need for intermediaries like retailers. With the rise of DTC fashion brands, the recruitment process has also evolved. In this article, we will discuss some tips for recruiting for direct-to-consumer fashion brands.
1. Understand the Brand
One of the most important aspects of recruiting for a DTC fashion brand is to understand the brand's values and mission. DTC fashion brands are known for their unique brand identity, and it's crucial to know what sets them apart from their competitors. Understanding the brand's values, mission, and culture will help you identify candidates who share the same values and are a good fit for the company.
2. Look for Diverse Candidates
Diversity is an essential element of any company, and it's especially crucial for DTC fashion brands. These brands aim to appeal to a wide range of customers, and it's essential to have a diverse team that can understand and cater to the needs of different customers. When recruiting for a DTC fashion brand, look for candidates from diverse backgrounds and with diverse skill sets. This will help the brand appeal to a broader customer base.
3. Focus on Customer Service Skills
DTC fashion brands often rely on excellent customer service to retain customers and build brand loyalty. Therefore, it's essential to look for candidates with strong customer service skills. Candidates who can communicate effectively, have empathy and problem-solving skills, and can handle customer complaints are ideal for DTC fashion brands.
4. Emphasize the Importance of Data and Analytics
DTC fashion brands rely heavily on data and analytics to make informed business decisions. When recruiting for a DTC fashion brand, look for candidates with experience in data analysis and have a good understanding of customer behavior. Candidates who can use data to improve the customer experience and optimize the brand's marketing strategy are highly sought after by DTC fashion brands.
5. Consider Soft Skills
In addition to technical skills, it's essential to look for candidates with soft skills. Soft skills like teamwork, adaptability, and creativity are essential for a successful DTC fashion brand. Look for candidates who can work collaboratively, think outside the box, and adapt quickly to new and challenging situations.
In conclusion, recruiting for a DTC fashion brand requires a unique set of skills and qualities. Understanding the brand's values, looking for diverse candidates, focusing on customer service skills, emphasizing data and analytics, and considering soft skills are all crucial elements of successful recruitment for a DTC fashion brand. By following these tips, you can build a strong team that can help your DTC fashion brand grow and thrive.

eCommerce for All: Making the Online Experience More Accessible
In honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, we’re bringing a spotlight on the ways eCommerce can be made more accessible.
Many brands and retailers “miss out on millions of potential customers when they don’t design websites to be accessible to shoppers who use assistive technologies or rely on a keyboard to navigate online.” In fact, 15% of the world’s population experiences some form of disability. According to the Baymard Institute, 94% of the largest eCommerce sites can be challenging or even impossible to navigate for people with disabilities.
More and more people are choosing to shop online. With such a rapidly growing surge of online shoppers, there have been increased demands for brands and retailers to seriously invest into their e-commerce businesses. Such efforts include:
Diversifying your team
The first step toward accessibility, and perhaps the easiest solution “to making sure things actually work really well is [by] hiring a person with a disability.”
Providing visual alternatives
Descriptive alternative texting caters to users with disabilities, especially those with visual impairments. This feature provides accurate and descriptive alternative text for images, form fields, and page descriptions to be read aloud to the user.
Differentiating links from surrounding text and backgrounds
Links are crucial to navigating around a site. By providing descriptive titles and adequate contrast ratios for links, users with disabilities can better navigate the site.
Enhancing keyboard navigability
For users with mobility impairments who rely on a keyboard for site navigation, having all-site functionality operable on a keyboard can be a gamechanger.
At Emerging Blue, we are constantly striving to uphold our commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion with all hiring and employment practices. Our goal is to both embody and coach our clients on creating inclusive environments in which all candidates and employees are treated with respect.
