From import clerks to branch managers, we find permanent forwarding people in Tipton who know the paperwork and the customers.
Every forwarding candidate we put forward is screened on the modes, lanes and customers they have handled.
Across the West Midlands, forwarding and customs roles support operations at sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at Hams Hall and Birch Coppice, the i54 and the M6/M42 distribution belt. We search for people who already know that trade.
We ask candidates which modes and lanes they handle, which systems they book in and how many declarations they complete.
The strongest forwarding candidates across the West Midlands are usually already running desks for businesses such as automotive and component supply chains, national retail DCs, contract logistics providers and rail-linked operators.
From junior operators to branch and business development managers.
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.
For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tipton run from around £26k for clerks up to £55k+ for branch managers.
Where the salary looks short of what forwarders are being offered, we say so before interviews start. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We approach forwarders and customs specialists directly, including the ones who are not looking.
We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.
We help settle salary, commission and start date so the offer is accepted first time.
Customers notice when their forwarder keeps changing. Continuity keeps them booking.
We ask candidates why they left their last desk. The answer tells us whether yours will keep them.
