Logistics Recruitment Agency for Operational, Warehouse & Management Roles
What our clients say
“We are very happy with McRoberts - they helped us hire 3 HGV Drivers within 3 weeks, much faster than we expected. We are impressed with the results because we were looking for very specialised drivers with wide-load and EU experience.”

Warehouse recruitment for operatives, FLT drivers and managers
Looking for a warehouse recruitment agency to help build your own team? We run campaigns for warehouse operatives, pickers and packers, FLT drivers, shift leaders and warehouse managers, with no placement fee each time you hire.
We make the shift pattern, pay, working environment and physical demands clear so candidates can decide whether the job suits them. Screening can cover experience, FLT qualifications, right to work and commute, including whether they can reach your site for early starts or night shifts.
Start with one role at one site and scale as your hiring needs grow. Our service supports recruitment into your workforce rather than supplying temporary staff to cover individual shifts.
Recruiting something more specialised? Tell us about the role, location and hiring requirement and we will tell you whether a McRoberts campaign is a sensible fit.
When does McRoberts make sense for logistics recruitment?
Our logistics recruitment agency model is most useful when the usual routes are not producing enough suitable people, when your internal team is spending too much time managing advertising, screening and interview coordination, or the quality of hires isn't where it needs to be.
Too many unsuitable applicants
We agree your essential requirements before launch and screen applicants against them before they reach your hiring team.
Your site is hard to reach
Warehouses and distribution sites are often poorly served by public transport. Commute suitability can be screened before interview.
Shifts are narrowing the pool
Nights, weekends and rotating patterns are made clear before interview and can be built into the screening criteria.
You need several hires
There is no placement fee each time you hire. We agree the campaign scope and advertising budget around your hiring target, and review any changes with you.
Job boards are not enough
Campaigns can reach candidates across search engines, social media and job boards rather than relying entirely on active job-board users.
Your demand changes
Start with one role or site, then add advertising, locations or vacancies when hiring demand increases.
How is McRoberts different from a traditional logistics recruitment agency?
A traditional logistics recruitment agency may supply temporary labour, source candidates from a database or charge a fee for each placement. McRoberts works differently: we build and manage a recruitment campaign around your business, vacancies and employer brand.
Your recruitment campaign
Messaging, advertising, candidate journey and screening are built around your vacancy rather than pulling candidates from a generic database.
Your candidate pipeline
The campaign can continue generating suitable applicants as you hire. We agree its scope, budget and duration around your needs, and review any changes with you.
No placement fee per hire
Hire one person or several people for the same title and location without paying another placement fee each time.
Need temporary warehouse staff to cover tomorrow's shift? McRoberts is primarily designed for employers recruiting people into their own workforce. We are not a temporary labour-supply agency.
How does a logistics recruitment campaign work?
A logistics recruitment agency should make the process easy to understand. You define the role and what good looks like; we build and actively manage the campaign around it.
1. Define the requirement
We agree the role, site, number of hires, pay, shifts, experience and essential requirements.
2. Build the campaign
We create the messaging, adverts, landing page, application journey, screening and interview flow.
3. Reach candidates
Advertising runs across the channels most appropriate to the vacancy, shift pattern and location.
4. Screen applicants
Applicants are checked against the requirements you agreed with us before they reach your team.
5. Move to interview
Suitable candidates can be reviewed in McRoberts or your ATS and choose from available interview times.
6. Improve performance
We use campaign data and hiring-manager feedback to refine targeting, messaging and screening.
We aim to launch within one week or less after signing the agreement, once we have the role information, screening criteria and approvals needed to build the campaign.
How do we screen logistics candidates?
Quality starts with a realistic picture of the job. We help candidates opt out if the working pattern or demands do not suit them, then screen applicants against your agreed essentials before they reach your team.
Warehouse & operational
Checks can include right to work, relevant experience, FLT or role-specific qualifications, commute, shift availability, pay expectations and start availability.
Managers & specialists
Screening can cover relevant management or sector experience, qualifications, operation size, salary expectations, commute and agreed experience criteria.
Your team decides
Where AI supports experience analysis, it works against criteria agreed with you. Candidates are not rejected solely on an AI score.
A logistics recruitment agency also needs to handle candidate data carefully. McRoberts is Cyber Essentials Plus certified and candidate data is handled under defined data-protection processes.
Can we handle high-volume and multi-site logistics recruitment?
Yes. Our logistics recruitment agency model is designed to start with one role at one site and scale once the campaign proves itself. Add locations for the same job title, increase advertising or launch another role as the hiring requirement grows.
Built around your hiring needs
Your campaign is priced around the roles, locations, number of hires and timescale.
Advertising matched to the challenge
We recommend the advertising budget needed to reach suitable candidates in your market.
No placement fees
You pay for the agreed campaign, with no additional fee each time you hire.
From a single vacancy to ongoing or multi-location recruitment, we agree the campaign scope, advertising budget and duration around your hiring goals.

Do you recruit warehouse and FLT staff?

What does a logistics recruitment agency cost?
