Logistics & Supply Chain Recruitment
Hiring in Logistics & Supply Chain
We recruit across third-party logistics, freight forwarding, warehousing, last-mile delivery, cold chain and in-house supply chain functions.
This is one of our strongest sectors for combined permanent and contract hiring: leadership and planning roles hired permanently, operational capacity supplied on contract and scaled against demand. Most clients here use both.
What makes Logistics hiring difficult
Site launches with fixed go-live dates
New warehouse and hub launches are planned backwards from go-live, with leadership hired ahead of the operational team.
High front-line attrition
Operational roles turn over quickly. Continuous pipelines and contract staffing absorb this rather than reacting to it.
Volume swings with demand
Sale events and seasonal peaks are staffed on contract, scaled up and down without permanent restructuring cost.
Technology-led supply chain skills are scarce
Network design, WMS implementation and analytics capability is in short supply and takes longer to hire.
