Commercial talent for freight forwarding

We work two sides of the same market: forwarders hiring producers who move markets, and salespeople who deserve a better platform. Choose your door.

For forwarders and hiring managers

Producers who arrive with a book, not a learning curve

We recruit ocean, air, customs brokerage and expedited sales talent for forwarders who need revenue, not resumes. Every shortlist is vetted on GP produced, lane mix and portability.

Vetted on GP

Candidates are qualified on real, verifiable gross profit and account portability before you ever see a name.

Confidential search

Discreet outreach to producers who are not on job boards and will never apply cold.

Short, honest lists

Three to five serious candidates, not a stack of forwarded CVs.

Both sides of the table

Hiring managers who needed revenue, and producers who needed a better platform.

Client
Three names, all of them real producers. We hired the second one and he brought two accounts with him inside the first quarter.

My name never moved until I said so. When it did, it went to one company that actually fit — and the comp was 40% better than what I had.
