Warehouse Recruitment in Stoke-on-Trent

Permanent warehouse and distribution recruitment across the West Midlands, from shift supervisors to general managers.

West Midlands

A warehouse recruitment desk for Stoke-on-Trent

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

Warehouse vacancies across the West Midlands come from national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres. Each needs leaders who can hold standards through peak.

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

Experienced supervisors at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54 rarely need to look for work, so we approach them directly.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The site brief

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

Approach

Candidates who are not looking are approached with the details that matter to them.

Settling in

We keep in touch through the first months so any early issue is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty leadership seat costs more than the advert: overtime, agency spend and pressure on the rest of the team.

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.

A strong warehouse brief covers:

  • The WMS and any automation on site
  • The shift pattern and how the team is structured
  • Headcount, including agency labour at peak
  • Your interview process and any site visit
