The operators, clerks and managers who move Bearsden freight door to door.
A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.
Freight across Scotland moves through the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Scotland are usually already running desks for businesses such as whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs.
Air, sea, road and customs roles.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bearsden 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.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
For Bearsden businesses growing their trade, the right permanent forwarder brings in new volume as well as handling it.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
