Warehouse Recruitment in Guildford

We recruit warehouse managers, shift managers and team leaders for Guildford and the South East, screened on the sites they have actually run.

South East

Guildford warehouse recruitment, done properly

We look for leaders who have run an operation like yours: the same volumes, the same shift pattern, the same kind of stock.

Guildford draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. Across the South East, warehouse leaders are in demand at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports.

We ask candidates about the volumes, the WMS, the headcount and the shift pattern they have managed before we mention your vacancy.

Across the South East, warehouse leaders are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

How it works

Three stages to a hire

The site brief

Volumes, systems, shift pattern, headcount and the problem the new leader needs to solve.

Screening

Site experience, results, safety approach and right to work checked, then a conversation about your operation.

Site visits and interviews

We arrange interviews and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

Details that sharpen the search

For Guildford sites facing a busy year, the right permanent manager is the difference between surviving peak and planning for it.

Team leaders are often promoted from the floor. We recruit for both routes into management.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • Salary, bonus and shift allowance
  • The main problem the new hire should fix
