Freight forwarding recruitment for Banff businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Forwarding is judged on margin, accuracy and the customer's next booking. We recruit people who protect all three.
Freight across North East Scotland moves through the A90 and A96, Aberdeen harbour and Aberdeen International Airport. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
When the Banff market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarding demand across North East Scotland follows offshore energy logistics, subsea and oilfield services, food and drink processing and regional 3PLs.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Banff run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
