Logistics Recruitment That Keeps Operations Moving

Logistics recruitment isn’t about simply filling seats – it’s about securing the people who keep goods moving, customers satisfied, and service levels protected.

From transport planning to warehouse leadership, we connect logistics teams with high-performance logistics professionals who understand pace, pressure, and precision.

Unlike most logistics recruitment agencies, we don’t just deliver candidates – we deliver consistency, control, and commercial advantage.

Why Logistics Leaders Trust Bis Henderson Recruitment

We don’t follow the pace – we set it.

The role’s open - but nothing’s moving

Hiring takes time you don’t have. Operational bottlenecks build while shortlists drag on - or worse, get filled with near-misses.

We identify exactly who you need – and we bring them to you, fast. We know the difference between a job title and what the operation really demands.

Operations move fast. But the wrong hire slows everything.

Whether it’s warehouse leadership or transport planning, one mis-hire can mean missed targets and mounting pressure.

We move quickly – but only when we’re sure the fit is right. We qualify every brief as tightly as we qualify every candidate. No panic placements. No compromise.

When hiring sits outside logistics, the detail can get lost.

These roles rarely follow a standard brief and small nuance slips can lead to operational drag.

We act as your internal translator, giving HR clarity, and Ops total confidence in every hire, without adding noise or complexity.

Top performers aren’t looking - and the best won’t apply.

The people who keep logistics running at pace aren’t browsing job boards - they’re already delivering under pressure.

We don’t wait for talent to come. We go out and get it. Passive candidates take our calls because they trust us to bring opportunities that matter.

Specialist Logistics Recruitment, Built for Performance

We’re not a logistics recruitment agency – we’re a strategic partner that understands how service levels, margins, and operational pressures shape every hire. From warehouse leadership and transport planning to last-mile delivery, we place people who keep performance high and disruption low.

We align the right talent to your priorities – fast. With one partner across permanent capability, interim cover and executive leadership, nothing gets lost in translation. We know what excellence looks like in logistics – our process is proven, our shortlists are sharp. That’s why our hires perform, embed, and make an impact from day one.

Functional Coverage Across Your Logistics Network

Logistics recruitment is never one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re scaling fast, navigating rising service pressures, or rethinking site performance, the talent you need depends on your operation’s structure, pace, and goals.

We work across the entire logistics ecosystem – from warehousing and transport to last-mile and 3PL – recruiting professionals who bring control, capability, and commercial impact.

Key Roles We Place in Logistics

We recruit across the full scope of logistics – from team leadership to strategic operations. Whether you need immediate cover or are building long-term capability, we know what excellence looks like – and where to find it.

Still Got Questions?

Let’s Clear Them Up.

What if the brief isn’t fully defined yet - we just know something’s not working operationally?

That’s where we come in. We often work with clients who know the site is under pressure – but aren’t sure if they need a shift lead, an ops manager, or an interim restructure. We help define the brief first, so you’re solving the right problem with the right hire.

Very. Whether the need’s urgent due to absence, performance, or rapid growth, we move quickly – without compromising fit. We can also provide interim leadership while we run a permanent search, so operations keep moving without risk.

Because we’ve spent years in the logistics space, we know who’s out there – and who’s worth calling. We engage passive candidates early, often before they’re thinking of moving. They pick up when we call because they know we understand what matters.

Logistics roles are fast-paced, highly variable, and site-specific. A “Warehouse Manager” in one business might be running a site – in another, a shift. We bring the sector insight to decode the job title, match it to business need, and find someone who can deliver.

Absolutely. We regularly partner with in-house, RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) and MSP (Managed Service Provider) teams as a logistics specialist. We add the speed, insight, and network that generalist teams may not have -without stepping on toes.
