Freight forwarding recruitment for Larkhall 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 employers across Scotland include whisky and food and drink distribution, retail and grocery DCs, port and intermodal operators and Scottish 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.
When the Larkhall market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.
With the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen serving the region, forwarders across Scotland often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
Forwarding roles for imports, exports and cross-trade.
We benchmark salary, commission and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Many forwarders are well known to their customers. We approach them discreetly.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Larkhall run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare commission, bonus, hybrid working and the accounts they will run. 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 stay in touch through the first months as the new forwarder takes over accounts.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the workload and the customers as they are.
