Warehouse & Distribution Recruitment

What is warehousing

Warehousing involves the storage and management of goods in a large, secure building, used by manufacturers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, transport businesses, and customs.

It’s not just about storage. Warehousing also covers the administration and manual labour required for logistics projects, such as delivery, documentation, examination, and certification.

Playing an essential role in the supply chain, warehouses provide a hub for the distribution of goods and materials. Given their importance and complex function, skilled professionals are often required to operate and manage efficient warehouses.

What is distribution?
Distribution is the process of moving a product from its manufacturing source to its customers. A company needs distribution to sell its products in the market. A proper distribution channel can become a huge competitive advantage for a business.

Current trends
Warehouse and distribution recruitment is seeing a number of trends in recent years, including an increased focus on technology skills, as well as a growing need for flexibility and adaptability in the workforce. Companies are also seeking to improve diversity and inclusion in their hiring processes, and are using data analytics to improve recruitment outcomes. Most prominently, there is a growing demand for sustainability and eco-friendliness in the logistics industry, which is leading to a need for specialised skills and knowledge in this area.
