Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Havant

Permanent freight forwarding and customs recruitment across the South East.

South East

Havant freight forwarding recruitment

Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.

Forwarding vacancies across the South East come from Channel-port and customs operators, chilled grocery distribution, aerospace supply chains and regional carriers. Each needs people who can handle the paperwork and the customer.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

Businesses at sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow compete for the same experienced customs people, which pushes salaries up.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The brief

Modes, lanes, systems, customers and the gap the new hire needs to fill.

Contract restrictions

We ask about any restrictions in a candidate's current contract before an offer is made.

Settling in

We stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

An empty desk costs more than the advert: missed quotes, slower bookings and customers looking elsewhere.

When a forwarding role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the pay, the hours or the workload is the obstacle. Then we tell you.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The modes: air, sea, road or all three
  • Account ownership and any sales targets
  • Salary, commission and bonus
  • The main gap the new hire should fill
