Freight Forwarding Recruitment in Wirral

Permanent freight forwarders, customs specialists and branch managers for businesses in Wirral.

North West

Customs and forwarding hiring across Wirral

A forwarder who can quote but not clear, or clear but not sell, only solves half the problem. We test for the whole job.

Goods passing through sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal depend on accurate bookings and clean declarations. We match forwarders to that standard.

When the Wirral market is thin for forwarding talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns for desk roles.

Forwarding roles across the North West support trade through the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool.

The roles we cover

Permanent roles on the forwarding desk

Why a specialist desk

Built around trade lanes and modes

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

New desks and branches

For a new branch or trade desk we can recruit the manager and the team together.

Through the first months

We keep in touch through notice periods and the first months, while a new forwarder learns your customers.

How it works

Our recruitment process

The brief

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

Interviews

We arrange interviews and any technical test, then brief each candidate beforehand.

The offer

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

Your brief

Your hiring brief

Strong operators become account managers and branch managers. Hiring well now builds the next layer.

Forwarders who leave early often cite workload, weak systems or no route to account management. We raise all three first.

A strong forwarding brief covers:

  • The modes: air, sea, road or all three
  • Customs declarations the role will handle
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
  • Your interview process and any technical test
