Hiring a customs specialist in Hackney? We check the declarations experience first, then everything else.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Goods passing through sites such as London Gateway and the Thames Gateway, Park Royal, Enfield and the Heathrow airfreight belt depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.
Air freight, ocean freight, road groupage and customs brokerage need different specialists. We recruit each one differently.
Forwarding roles across London & the South East support trade through the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
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.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hackney 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.
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.
An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.
Notice periods and contract restrictions can shape start dates, so we plan the timeline from the first call.
