We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Eastbourne and the South East, screened on the sites they have actually run.
Warehouse leadership is judged on the floor: pick rates, accuracy, safety and the people who turn up tomorrow.
Warehouse employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different operation, so we recruit to the site rather than the job title.
We ask candidates about the volumes, the WMS, the headcount and the shift pattern they have managed before we mention your vacancy.
Large sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel often recruit at the same time, which pushes up the price of experienced managers.
Permanent warehouse and distribution roles, from the first shift supervisor to the general manager.
We ask candidates what they improved on their last site before we ask about their notice period.
We benchmark salary, shift allowance and bonus against the local market before the role goes out.
Safety record and approach are part of every warehouse screen, not an afterthought at interview.
Indicative permanent salaries in Eastbourne run from around £28k for shift supervisors up to £55k+ for site and operations managers.
Base salary is only part of the offer. Candidates compare shift allowance, bonus, car allowance and the hours they will actually work. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We map the sites within a realistic commute and the people running them.
Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.
A short list with notes on each candidate's scale, systems and results.
A leader who knows the site's history makes better decisions about people, layout and process.
When a role is proving hard to fill, we work out whether the cause is the shift, the salary or the site. Then we say which.
