You post an Amazon PPC role and get a flood of applicants. How many of them can actually run your account?

From our own screening this year, out of every 100 applicants:

59 have real Amazon Ads work on their CV.

24 finish our video interview.

7 finish our timed test.

2 score 70% or more.

Fewer than 1 reaches a client shortlist.

The big drop is not at the CV. It comes when people have to show the work. A CV that says "managed $1m in ad spend" reads the same whether they made the bid decisions or just pulled the reports.

So don't hire on a CV and one call. Give them a real scenario from your account and listen to how they decide.

That is the part we do before you meet anyone. If you are hiring for Amazon Ads, send me a message.
