We recruit air, sea and road forwarders for Forfar and Scotland, screened on the trade lanes and modes they have handled.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Employers around Forfar recruit permanent logistics people for agri-food, manufacturing and retail distribution across Tayside and Fife. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.
Time-zone work, early cut-offs and on-call cover suit different people. The hours are one of the first things we ask about.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Tayside & Fife are usually already running desks for businesses such as port and coastal logistics, food processing, retail distribution and manufacturing supply chains.
Permanent forwarding and customs roles, from clerks to branch managers.
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.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Forfar 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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.
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.
Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.
