Freight forwarding recruitment for Corby businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.
Logistics around Corby is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
When the Corby market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
Forwarding roles across the East Midlands support trade through the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal.
Permanent forwarding roles matched to mode, lanes and systems.
We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Corby run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Candidates weigh the whole package: salary, commission, hours and the quality of the customer base. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
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.
