Hiring challenges in this sector
The operational gaps that usually drive the request — before we talk roles and headcount.
Certificate requirements
Staff operating forklifts and stacking equipment need valid certificates and verified experience.
Night and weekend shifts
In 24/7 warehouses, night and weekend shifts are harder to fill.
Early drop-outs
The physical pace can lead to drop-outs in the first weeks that disrupt planning.
Warehouse headcount from a volume forecast
Campaigns, year-end or a new client need extra people fast. We hire from pools built on the volume forecast and the shift plan. Forklift roles start with certificate and experience checks; pickers are measured on pace, accuracy and handheld use.

A reserve list and same-day offer confirmation are methodology against no-shows and first-30-day attrition. Hygiene papers for cold chain and food warehouses are written into the brief.

Frequently asked questions
Do you check forklift operators’ certificates?
Yes. Operators’ certificates and experience are verified, and a practical driving assessment on site is planned where the role requires it.
How early should we start for campaign periods?
It depends on headcount, but we recommend starting candidate preparation a few weeks before the peak.
Can you find candidates for night shifts?
We assess candidates against night and weekend conditions from the start and clarify transport and benefits with you at the proposal stage.
