Solving Freight Hiring Challenges, One Connection at a Time

Freight forwarding roles can be tough to fill. We focus on building direct relationships with both hiring teams and candidates, getting a clear picture of needs, expectations, and potential fit. By putting the person at the centre, we help companies hire the right people efficiently and sustainably.

Finding freight talent fast

We scope your pipeline, prioritise urgent roles and run targeted searches so you can fill freight forwarding, customs brokerage and warehousing jobs quickly without cutting corners.

Reaching people your competitors don’t

Our team is embedded in New York and New Jersey’s logistics networks. We headhunt and approach passive candidates — operations managers, customs brokers, freight sales executives — before they hit job boards.

Filtering for local experience and compliance

We screen for regional freight knowledge, modal expertise and regulatory experience at the Port of NY/NJ and JFK cargo terminals. That reduces onboarding risk and keeps your operation compliant from day one.

We handle outreach, NDAs, interview scheduling, offer management and onboarding support. You get fewer drop-outs, faster start dates and clear feedback at each stage.

From executive search to middle-management recruitment in logistics and operations, we keep freight forwarders, 3PLs and shippers staffed and running smoothly.
