How We Solve Your Hiring Challenges in Hamburg

With years of experience staffing Germany’s freight sector and direct access to candidates around the port, we know who’s hiring, who’s moving and what pay bands work in Hamburg. That’s how we keep forwarders, 3PLs and shippers fully staffed and running smoothly.

Finding freight talent fast

When vessels stack up or terminals shift schedules, your workload jumps overnight. We identify which roles will impact your flow first — export desks, import coordinators, customs shifts, warehouse leads — then source people who can stabilise the operation quickly.

Reaching people your competitors don’t

Most strong candidates here are tied into port life: carriers, terminals, depots, barge operators, trucking partners. They’re not browsing job ads. We stay close to these networks year-round, so when someone becomes open to a move, you hear about it before your competitors do.

Filtering for local experience and compliance

The port has its own rhythm. Customs cut-offs, vessel windows, barge schedules, truck restrictions, warehouse bottlenecks — if a candidate has never worked in this environment, you’ll feel it instantly. We screen for people with hands-on Hamburg experience so onboarding isn’t a headache.

Managing the hiring process from start to finish

Hamburg talent gets approached constantly. The only way to avoid drop-outs is by treating candidates properly. We handle outreach, conversations, expectations, salary guidance and commitment checks, so you don’t lose people halfway through. It’s not automation — it’s actual human recruiting.
