Freight forwarding recruitment for Hammersmith businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
We look for people who have worked your modes and lanes: air, sea, road, imports, exports or cross-trade.
Forwarding vacancies across London & the South East come from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
Forwarders supporting sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and systems.
We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.
Indicative permanent salaries in Hammersmith run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Our pay advice uses current forwarding offers rather than old salary surveys. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.
We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.
We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
