Clients

You don’t need more CVs – you need the right people, hired quickly, who stay with business and perform to a high standard, consistently.

We’re a specialist recruitment partner for shipping, freight forwarding and logistics –We combine 24+ years of sector hiring experience with smart, ethical use of AI and automation, but always human-first, to give you certainty, not empty promises.

1. We Understand the Industry

Because we live and breathe logistics, having not only recruited for the industry for over 20 years, but also having worked in it directly.

We understand:

• Freight forwarding operations, import / export and Customs
• Warehouse, transport and 3PL/4PL environments
• Commercial roles – from inside sales and pricing to senior BDMs
• Leadership roles in logistics, supply chain and freight forwarding
• Technology & AI within logistics & supply chain

That means we can qualify candidates properly – not just looking for keywords on a CV, but real relevant experience & personality fit in the person behind the CV.

2. Quality, Not Quantity

Most agencies are built on volume: more jobs, more CVs, more send outs and the better chance of a successful outcome, playing the numbers game

We’re deliberately built differently:

• Quality over volume – fewer roles, deeper work on each one
• Shortlists, not inbox dumps – every candidate we send has been pre-screened and spoken to, with a clear summary of skills, motivators, salary and notice period
• Honest “no” as well as “yes” – if the market doesn’t match your brief or budget, we’ll say so early and help you re-evaluate, rather just going through the motions.

You get well-qualified candidate’s quickly, instead of sifting through an inbox of CVs that are not relevant.

3. Human + AI: Faster Shortlists, Better Decisions

We use technology properly – to remove friction, not remove humans. In fact it frees us up to do more important tasks, like speaking to candidates & clients, building trust, being empathetic and bringing good candidates and great companies together. No AI or tech solution can do that.

4. Protecting – and Enhancing – Your Employer Brand

Every candidate we speak to forms an opinion about your business. We take that seriously.

We will:

• Represent your company clearly and honestly – no overselling
• Ensure candidates are properly briefed before interviews
• Give timely, respectful feedback – even when it’s a “no”
• Handle sensitive conversations (offers, rejections, counteroffers) with care

The result? Candidates feel respected, even if they’re not hired – and your reputation in the logistics talent community grows, instead of being damaged by poor communication.

5. Transparent, Fair & Future-Fit Business Model

We don’t hide behind mystery fees or “take it or leave it” terms.

Our models are built around:

• Clear, up-front expectations – we know what to expect from each other from the start
• Risk-sharing options – including Shared Risk Search and our Happiness Guarantee where we adjust if we fall short of agreed standards
• Fixed price solutions like Candidate Boost & Assist, where we both fully commit to each other.

You always know:

• What you’ll pay
• What we’ll deliver
• How we’ll be accountable if something doesn’t go to plan

6. Smarter. Faster. Deliberately More Human.

Our core values show up in how we work with you every day:

• Trust – we’ll tell you the truth, even when it’s awkward
• Transparency – no surprises on process, candidates or fees
• Integrity – we won’t push a candidate who isn’t right, just to get a placement
• Human-first – AI supports us; it doesn’t replace us
