Freight forwarding recruitment for Linlithgow businesses that need people who can quote, book and clear freight without supervision.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Freight across Scotland moves through the M8, M74, M77 and M90, Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and the ports at Grangemouth, the Clyde and Aberdeen. Forwarders who know those gateways quote and book with confidence.
A forwarder who leaves after a few months takes customer relationships and carrier contacts with them.
The strongest forwarding candidates across Scotland are usually already running desks for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.
The people who quote, book and clear freight and the people who win it.
Air, sea or road, import or export: we match forwarders to the work they have actually handled.
We ask which booking and customs systems candidates use every day, so there is no hidden learning curve.
Good forwarders keep customers booking. We ask how they handled a delayed or held shipment.
Indicative permanent salaries in Linlithgow 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.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
Modes, declarations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
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.
