The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.

Your brief

Before we start searching

A forwarder who knows a customer's history avoids the mistakes that lose accounts.

Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • Account ownership and any sales targets
  • Salary, commission and bonus
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • The main gap the new hire should fill
