In a market where talent determines performance, settling for average is the fastest way to fall behind. Freight forwarders that win are the ones who invest in the right people, the right leadership, and the right partnerships. If you expect high standards from your teams, expect the same from your recruitment partner. Use Altius. altius-talent.com

Altius Talent | Freight Forwarding Recruitment reposted this
Landlords and Recruiters — we get a bad rap. Too often, we’re seen as being out for ourselves, with little care for the people we serve. But like anything, there are good and bad examples — and sometimes one group gets more attention than the other. Freddie Cairns Palmer started FKCP Consulting Limited in 2022 with one goal in mind: to rewrite the narrative. We take a white-glove approach to looking after our tenants — instant responses, swift resolutions, and a personal touch. Every visit comes with fresh, home-grown vegetables and eggs from our own chickens. I’m proud to say our efforts are being recognised by The Times and the lenders who make it all possible, Paragon Banking Group PLC, for our commitment to excellent customer service. In my full-time profession with Altius Talent | Freight Forwarding Recruitment, I mirror this same approach — treating every client and candidate with respect, care, and upfront honesty. Don't take my word for it, look at my profile to see what my candidates have to say about their experience working with me. If you’re in the freight forwarding industry, consider yourself a good egg — or you’re looking for one — I’d love to connect. Times article: https://lnkd.in/ei3yJpAE
