How It Works

Hire Logistics Managers in 3 steps

A structured process for the logistics hire — where a missed transformer delivery window can cost a project month, not a shipping day.

Step 02

Review talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Logistics Managers with mode- and sector-matched history. References from supply chain and site leaders included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.

Why iRecruit.co

What makes our Logistics Manager shortlist different

Critical-equipment freight history

Verified experience moving high-value, long-lead equipment — oversize/overweight permits, rigging coordination, escorted heavy-haul — not just parcel and LTL.

On-time delivery, referenced

OTD performance and freight-cost-per-unit control verified with the operations and project leaders who depended on the dates.

Jobsite delivery fluency

Candidates who have sequenced deliveries into live construction sites — crane windows, laydown constraints, OFCI receiving — a different discipline than dock-to-dock freight.

Vetting Criteria

What we verify on every Logistics Manager

Carrier + 3PL management

Reference-verified carrier scorecards, rate negotiations, and 3PL performance management.

Specialized freight execution

Heavy-haul, out-of-gauge, and high-value moves with permits, insurance, and rigging handled correctly.

International + customs

Incoterms fluency, customs brokerage oversight, and import compliance where lanes cross borders.

Systems + visibility

TMS command (SAP TM, Oracle TMS, or equivalent) and shipment-visibility reporting leadership can act on.

FAQ

Hiring a Logistics Manager

How long does it take to hire?

Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on engagement model.

What does a Logistics Manager earn in 2026?

Base salaries typically run $95k–$135k across US markets. Managers running international lanes or heavy-haul programs for critical equipment run $125k–$155k with bonus. CSCP or CLTD certification adds leverage.

How is this different from a Materials Manager?

A Logistics Manager owns movement between locations — carriers, freight, customs, delivery windows. A Materials Manager owns inventory and flow inside the facility. On project-heavy operations the handoff between them is exactly what we probe in references.

Do you offer a placement guarantee?

Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.

Can you build a full logistics team?

Yes. Multi-hire builds — coordinators, analysts, site logistics leads — route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
