TikTok has become the most used social media platform with its prominence during the pandemic period. TikTok, which got ahead of its competitors and got out of the mainstream, has now rolled up its sleeves for e-commerce.
The social media giant plans to create an e-commerce chain to rival Amazon. In fact, the company posted many new job postings on LinkedIn a few weeks ago. So, how will the company proceed in this regard, and has it made any statements on the subject? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Confirmed that TikTok is looking for staff!
Reviewing the LinkedIn accounts of social media giant TikTok, Ars Technica confirmed that the company is looking for staff in major cities where it has offices. The Business Journal, on the other hand, announced that TikTok reviewed LinkedIn profiles and added that more than a hundred people work for TikTok or ByteDance. He also noted that most of these employees also come from Amazon, Microsoft or Meta.
In a job posting TikTok published, he presented the following expectations:
“By providing warehousing, delivery and customer service returns, our mission is to help sellers improve their operational capabilities and efficiency, provide buyers with a satisfying shopping experience, and enable the fast and sustainable growth of TikTok Shop.”

The company did not make a statement on the e-commerce issue. However, TikTok will create a new source of income by establishing US-based facilities and an e-commerce center to be preferred for young audiences is expected to happen.
The company currently has a service outside the United States under the name of TikTok Shop. But it is not yet big enough to compete with Amazon or other big e-commerce centers.
A TikTok spokesperson explained, “We are focused on providing a valuable shopping experience that includes providing merchants with a variety of product features and delivery options in countries where TikTok Shop is currently available in Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom.”
