Freight forwarding recruitment for Bilston businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Forwarding vacancies across the West Midlands come from automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the Black Country manufacturing belt and the M5 northern corridor are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Bilston run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. 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.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.
