We specialize in international freight forwarding recruitment. Our approach is built on precision, partnership and performance, tailored to the commercial and strategic needs of every client we support.

Executive Search

When senior leadership hires that drive real impact are required, we deliver. Whether it's expanding regional operations or securing key PCL owners, we find the leaders who move your business forward.

Retained Search

When a search calls for confidentiality, control or niche expertise, our retained model delivers. Ideal for business-critical replacements, strategic moves or hard-to-fill roles in air, ocean and customs.

Specialist Contingent Recruitment

When speed and freight-specific expertise are essential, we support mid-level and volume hiring with precision. No shortcuts. No generic resumes. Just proven talent from within our global forwarding network.

”Lewis Wilson is attentive and honest. He takes the time to research the background of the candidates rather than just putting forward any option that comes across his desk, like many other recruitment agents.

He has supplied our company with multiple candidates across multiple departments who have been success stories as well as offering other strong options along with them. Thumbs up from me!”

”Rob evaluates candidates thoroughly and is a great communicator. He understands the market and is determined to match each of his candidates with the right company.

I enjoy working with Rob as he is passionate and respectful.”

”I truly recommend Rob, he loves what he does and is great at it.

He's someone you can trust to find you the best candidate.”

”Theo was amazing from beginning to end, to setting up the first interview to the second interview to finally getting the job.

Would recommend him with my eyes closed. You honestly don’t want anyone else helping you in your job search!

Never met anyone more caring and joyful to help you achieve what you want. Thank you, Theo!”

”Jamie ist äußerst professionell und versteht den deutschen Markt in und auswendig.

Er hört wirklich zu, stellt die richtigen Fragen und liefert nur Kandidaten, die fachlich wie persönlich passen.

Seine offene Kommunikation und sein Engagement machen ihn zu einem echten Partner in der Zusammenarbeit. Sehr empfehlenswert.”

”Liam was incredible throughout the entire process. From our first conversation he really listened to what I was looking for and didn’t just try to push me into any role.

He understood the Chicago market and knew exactly where I’d be a good fit. He kept me updated, gave good advice for interviews and was genuinely rooting for me the whole way.

I ended up landing a great position in air export with a company that’s a perfect match. Couldn’t have asked for better support. Highly recommend working with Liam.”

”Jamie war von Anfang an äußerst engagiert und hat sich wirklich die Zeit genommen, meine beruflichen Ziele zu verstehen.

Dank seines Netzwerks im Vertrieb konnte er mir eine Position vermitteln, die perfekt zu meinen Fähigkeiten und Ambitionen passt.

Ich habe mich durchgehend gut betreut gefühlt. Klare Empfehlung.”

”Lewis doesn’t just send out CVs for the sake of it. He listens. He helped me navigate a tough job market and found me a role that suits me perfectly.

I appreciated his honesty, speed and how he kept things realistic but positive.”

”Rob stood out immediately. He was upfront, knew his clients inside out and clearly cared about making the right match.

I never felt like ‘just another candidate’. He followed up every step of the way and gave honest, practical advice.”

”Theo was amazing throughout my job search. He was approachable and genuinely wanted me to succeed.

He checked in regularly, prepped me properly and celebrated with me when I got the offer. Couldn’t have asked for more.”

”From our first chat Liam was clear, organized and cared about getting me into the right environment.

He never overpromised but delivered everything he said he would. I’m now working in a role that ticks every box. Highly recommend.”

What types of roles do you recruit for?

We focus exclusively on international freight forwarding, placing talent across commercial, operational, and executive functions, air, ocean, customs and overland.

Is there a cost to the service for candidates?

No. Our recruitment services are entirely free for candidates. We’re engaged and paid by the hiring company, so there’s no charge for applying, interviewing or securing a role through us.

Do you offer confidential search services?

Yes. We regularly manage retained and discreet searches for sensitive leadership moves or strategic replacements.

Can you support us outside of your listed cities?

Absolutely. Our network is global, and we follow the hiring need, not just geography. If we don’t already know the right candidate, we’ll find them.

How quickly can you deliver candidates to our business?

It depends on the complexity of the requirement, but we typically present qualified, relevant candidates within 2 to 5 working days. For retained or executive searches, we agree on clear timelines at the start of the process.
