Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Dalbeattie.
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 southern Scotland moves through the A74(M), the M74, the A7, the A1 and the Cairnryan ferry terminals. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
The strongest forwarding candidates across southern Scotland are usually already running desks for businesses such as Irish Sea ferry and groupage operators, dairy and agri-food processing, forestry and timber haulage and regional 3PLs.
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.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dalbeattie run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
A clear offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before it goes live. 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.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the workload and the customers as they are.
