Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Dundee businesses.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Forwarding vacancies across Tayside & Fife come from food and drink manufacturing, soft-fruit and agri-food distribution, life sciences and regional 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
With the A90, M90 and A9, the Port of Dundee and Rosyth serving the region, forwarders across Tayside & Fife often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Dundee 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.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Temporary cover suits a short gap. A permanent hire is the answer when accounts need an owner.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
