Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Pontypridd

Forwarders who protect margin and customs people who protect compliance, recruited for Pontypridd businesses.

Wales

Forwarding talent for Pontypridd

Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.

Forwarding employers across Wales include port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each works different lanes, so we recruit to the desk rather than the job title.

Opening a new branch or desk? We can recruit the manager and the operators together so it trades from day one.

With the M4 and A55 North Wales Expressway, Cardiff Airport and the ports at Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Holyhead serving the region, forwarders across Wales often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.

Why a forwarding specialist

Customs experience checked

We confirm the declarations and compliance work candidates have done before they reach your shortlist.

How it works

The shortlist

A short list with notes on each candidate's modes, lanes and customers.

Contract restrictions

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

The offer

We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

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

Strong forwarders value good systems, fair commission and a manager who backs them with customers.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The modes: air, sea, road or all three
  • The main trade lanes
  • The booking and customs systems in use
  • Salary, commission and bonus
