After the wave of account bans due to huge sales, JD.com quietly joined Amazon?

At the beginning of the year, a large number of Chinese sellers flocked to Amazon, and the cross-border market economy was booming. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. Since April, the industry has been hit by a wave of inventory restrictions, and sellers have tried their best to move warehouses and clear inventory in order to protect themselves. Before they could fully recover, Amazon strictly investigated fake orders, gift cards and other behaviors, and a wave of account bans and delistings broke out. The accounts of major sellers continued to be blocked, causing turmoil in the industry, and major sellers were laid off. A wave of unemployment followed, and Amazon's rectification of the entire industry is still ongoing.

While the injured sellers may still be doubting themselves and considering whether it is necessary to continue working on the Amazon platform, a leading domestic e-commerce company is entering the market in a low-key manner.

Social recruitment positions on JD.com's official recruitment website

When I was collecting recruitment information from Amazon, I noticed that on July 5, JD.com posted three cross-border e-commerce related positions in the social recruitment column on its official recruitment website, namely platform operation management, platform procurement and merchandising, and platform product development.

Unlike other domestic industry giants that have entered Amazon in a high-profile manner, JD.com is relatively low-key in recruiting for Amazon operations and other positions. When searching the terms "JD.com" and "Amazon" together, there is very little recruitment-related information.

Platform Operations Management Job Description

From the job descriptions and job requirements, we can see that JD.com has quite detailed requirements for the employees in these positions, and the work location is Guangdong. The following are worth noting:

• Those who are familiar with Amazon or other platform transaction processes, rules, skills and overseas intellectual property rights are preferred
• Familiar with European and American user shopping experience and product development direction
• Understand overseas B2C e-commerce
• Priority will be given to projects with a value of over 100 million yuan
• Priority will be given to candidates with overseas study experience

Judging from JD.com’s talent recruitment, it can be seen that JD.com has chosen to enter the European and American markets to develop overseas B2C e-commerce, hoping to attract high-quality talents in the cross-border e-commerce industry who are familiar with industry rules and procedures.

JD.com is a Chinese self-operated e-commerce company. Its comprehensive online shopping mall sells over tens of thousands of brands and 40.2 million products, covering 13 major categories including home appliances, mobile phones, computers, mother and baby, clothing, etc., and has strong e-commerce operation capabilities.

What do you think of JD.com’s entry into Amazon? After many big sellers were banned, can it revive the glory of Chinese sellers? We will have to wait and see.
