Hire ecommerce professionals who grow revenue — not just manage a storefront.
Experience with Shopify or a big-name brand doesn't mean someone can optimise
conversions, run promotions strategically, or diagnose why sales are dropping.
Use
our 15-minute, scenario-based test to see how candidates think about online sales —
before you commit to interviews or a hire.
Why Test Ecommerce?
Ecommerce success depends on a mix of commercial thinking, technical
understanding, and data-driven decision-making — skills that are nearly impossible to
assess from a CV alone.
The problem? Candidates often know the tools but not
the strategy behind profitable online retail. Heroify helps you see the difference
early.
Without Testing
What you risk
- Hires who manage a store but can't grow it

With 
What you gain
- Ecommerce hires who think commercially and optimise for profit
- Better conversion rates from people who understand the full funnel
- Smarter promotional strategies that protect margins
- Data-driven decisions on product, pricing, and customer experience
When to test for Ecommerce?
Use this test when the role requires:
- Managing or growing an online store or marketplace presence
- Optimising product pages, checkout flows, and conversion rates
- Planning and executing promotional campaigns
