THE CHALLENGE
Setting a higher bar for the eCommerce industry
Proton was in the process of scaling up quickly. “These two roles were vital to our growth,” stated David Morales, Head of Visual Development & Co-Founder. “There is a lot of demand for high-quality eCommerce agencies. So many of our customers have engaged with firms that simply failed to deliver and, as a result, when they turn to us, they really buy into our ethos of never cutting corners,” David continued.
“Our name is tied into what we do,” David adds. “A proton is a positive charge. We exist to deliver positive results. It’s about positivity when it comes to ROI, revenue, and performance. We take a very strong stance on performance and best practices. We don’t like cutting any corners. We’d rather explain to a client that something is going to take dramatically longer and cost more to be done correctly rather than cut corners to align with their timeframes and budget.”
That uncompromising commitment to excellence extends to the recruitment strategy at Proton. “We have had mixed experiences with recruiters in the past. We weren’t aware of how low the bar could be set regarding candidate quality. We look for developers and creatives that share our mindset. It was important for us to find a filter to help us deal with a high volume of speculative applications. We’ve wasted so much time on candidates that are unscreened. We knew that we needed to have someone in place as a buffer to pre-screen those candidates.”
