Transport and Logistics Sector Specialists

Our research has highlighted that more than two thirds of job adverts in the Transport and Logistics sector fail our Advert Assessment process, significantly impacting the ability to attract high quality talent.

Nearly half (47%) don’t state any salary which we know reduces the number of candidate applications by 35% on average

Over a quarter (27%) use large blocks of text likely to make the advert hard to read, especially on mobile which 65% of candidates now use for applications

Nearly a fifth (19%) have not got company branding on the ad which reduces candidate applications by 43%!

We are experts at attracting high quality candidates at a much lower cost than traditional recruitment agencies. That’s because we analyse and enhance your adverts to ensure they appear at the top of job board search rankings, helping you reach your ideal candidates within the Logistics field. We also place your advert on ALL the main job boards ensuring the widest possible reach of candidates – not just one or two specific job boards.

What’s more, we also provide the same recruitment services as an agency but at a significantly lower cost and we have our own state-of-the-art Applicant Tracking System which you can use for free!

With 2.7 million individuals currently in the logistics workforce, the sector makes up around 8.2% of UK employment and is critical to keep supply chains moving.

As of November 2023, the number of vacancies in the UK logistics and warehouse sector stood at 58,000 according to Adzuna. Some roles are suffering more than others, with mechanics in particular being in short supply. 95% of logistics businesses are experiencing problems filling vacancies for these roles, according to Logistics UK’s Logistics Performance Tracker (November 2022) with more than half (54%) stating the problem was either severe or very severe.

It’s vital you’re advertising roles on more than one job board to attract all the possible candidates as 70% of candidates register with just a single job board spread out amongst the top 5 boards. We know that multi-job board posting can be costly and a hassle when doing it directly, but we deliver extremely cost effective ads across ALL the main job boards. You just send us your advert once and we do all of the hard work for you.

Unlike many of our competitors who will just post your advert on job boards and hope for the best that quality candidates will apply, we undertake a thorough and comprehensive analysis of your existing advert and Employer Value Proposition to ensure it appears high up job board search engine results and attracts the best quality candidates. View our short one minute video here which highlights what we do.

And the numbers speak for themselves – we achieve between 50 and 90% more applications on average than for non-Hiring Wizard adverts, whilst we also see a 43% uplift on branded adverts compared with the standard recruitment agency ones – emphasising the need for well branded adverts.
