Warehouse & Logistics
Terminal & Port
Warehousing and logistics staffing are important parts of business, whatever the industry.
Warehouse
Warehousing and order fulfillment can often face challenging periods of high volatility, especially during peak seasons such as Black Friday and similar events. That’s why it’s common for logistics and warehouse management companies to partner with one or more staffing agencies they can rely on to act quickly and efficiently when human resources are scarce. For simple warehouse tasks, we always try to recruit locally, as in most cases there is plenty of expertise here in Sweden.
Terminal
Terminal work is a demanding job that often involves heavy lifting and the use of large machinery and equipment. For growing companies in the terminal and logistics industry, it can be very helpful to work with a staffing agency that takes care of recruitment and staffing. In terminal work in ports, careful evaluations of staff are usually required before they are allowed to work in the port, as the port is considered a security concern. These assessments can be time-consuming, and staffing during peak periods, off-peak periods and holidays can be a challenge without a staffing agency.
