Nationwide coverage
Whether you’re in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich or Düsseldorf, we work with freight teams across all of Germany’s key logistics centres.




















Our consultants recruit exclusively in freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, transportation, and logistics sales.
Many freight forwarders keep a low profile online and compete hard for talent. We combine headhunting with targeted exec search across German and international networks.
With active relationships across Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf and Bremen, plus global candidate pools, we deliver what German-only recruiters can’t.
Our support doesn’t stop at placement. We focus on making the right hire the first time, reducing churn and keeping your operation fully staffed.
Staffing in Germany’s freight and logistics sector isn’t straightforward. The industry faces strict EU compliance rules, an ageing workforce, rising demand for warehousing space, and shortages of licensed drivers and customs specialists. Choosing the wrong hire can mean compliance delays, shipment disruption, or even lost contracts.
Freight Appointments is built to solve those challenges:
We provide permanent, contract and executive staffing for freight and logistics employers across Germany. Roles we staff include:
Operations coordinators, export and import documentation specialists, branch managers, team leads, and everyone who keeps air and ocean freight moving on time. In Germany’s forwarding market, these roles often need hands-on experience with local carriers, port processes, and customer communication expectations, so we prioritise candidates who already know the German way of working.
Licensed customs brokers, trade compliance managers, entry writers, and import or export analysts with proven knowledge of German and EU customs frameworks. Germany’s strict compliance environment means businesses need people who can work confidently with ATLAS, tariff codes, and country-specific documentation requirements, so we focus on candidates who don’t need a learning curve.
Supervisors, distribution managers, shift leads, and inventory planners who understand warehouse automation, German HSE standards, and high-volume throughput. Demand is strong across the Rhine-Ruhr, Hamburg, Frankfurt, and southern logistics hubs, so we look for talent with experience in multi-site operations or fast-moving consumer supply chains.
Account managers, business development managers, and regional sales executives with genuine relationships across German shippers and a track record in winning air, ocean, or road freight. The market is competitive, so we prioritise people who bring local contacts, pricing knowledge, and a feel for regional trade flows.
Transportation planners, dispatchers, route schedulers, and fleet coordinators who know German road networks, last-mile expectations, and carrier management. These roles need a mix of tech confidence and operational judgement, especially in cities with tight delivery windows like Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich.
We support freight forwarders, logistics providers, and transport businesses across Germany with senior hires who can actually steer performance. That includes General Managers, Branch Managers, Operations Directors, Commercial Directors, Country Managers, and senior finance or HR leaders who know how the German market works.
We look for people with real experience in carrier negotiations, P&L responsibility, multimodal operations, and team leadership across busy hubs like Hamburg, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, and Munich. These are leaders who can steady a team, grow revenue, and keep service levels tight in a competitive market.

Germany is one of Europe’s busiest logistics markets. High compliance requirements, ageing workforces and tough competition for customs specialists, operators and licensed drivers make hiring difficult. Many candidates also avoid job boards altogether, which means employers relying on ads miss most of the talent.
Most forwarders don’t advertise themselves online. We build relationships directly with teams in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Bremen, and we headhunt across global freight networks. This gives our clients access to people who aren’t visible to traditional recruiters.
We cover Germany’s major freight hubs, but our reach is international. Many German teams need bilingual or globally experienced candidates, so we combine local searches with wider European, Middle Eastern, Asian and US networks when required.
We hire across freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, transportation and logistics sales. That includes operators, customs specialists, warehouse leads, planners, account managers, business development managers and senior branch or country-level leaders.
Every candidate is checked for EU and German trade rules, ATLAS familiarity, customs processes, operational experience and realistic salary expectations. Only candidates who meet your requirements reach your shortlist.
It varies by role, but many searches move fast because we’re already connected to operators, customs teams, warehouse supervisors and sales professionals across Germany. For urgent cases, we can introduce screened candidates within days.
