What kind of relationship is there between a giver and a recipient? What culture do both of them represent?

This month, I started thinking about my monthly contribution to the corporate blog early. I wanted to do another Behind the Scenes post that would allow you to get a yet another peak into what is it like to work in a global gift expert team that was 100% remote way before this became mainstream.

Here at Gift Baskets Overseas, we call winter holidays “The High Season.” During this period, thousands of orders come from all over the world, oftentimes in the last minute before the actual holiday. However, the corporate holiday season is different. It starts as early as October. For many of our customers, their order means delivery of dozens or even hundreds of gifts to different countries, to residential and business addresses. One such customer is Jooble — a company that offers a vertical job search engine in more than seventy countries. Today we sit with Jooble’s business development manager, Marine Palienko, to discuss their gift programs and how they used Gift Baskets Overseas for corporate gifts.
