Operations FAQs

Before you ask

How do you assess operations leaders?

We look at the P&L, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, their safety record and their right to work, then discuss your operation with them.

Do you recruit for 3PL contracts?

Yes. We recruit general managers and contract managers who run client contracts for third-party logistics providers.

Can you benchmark a leadership package?

Yes. We compare salary, bonus, car allowance and pension with current offers for similar operations roles across the region.

I lead logistics operations. How do I find my next role?

Upload your CV and tell us the size of operation, the sector and the location you want. We will contact you, discreetly, when a permanent role fits.

Do you recruit multi-site roles?

Yes. Tell us the sites and the travel involved so we approach leaders who want that kind of role.
