Specialist sales recruitment across material handling, warehouse automation, storage solutions and supply chain technology. We find the commercial people who win and keep customers.
The Challenge
We build relationships with them long before they are.
The commercial talent that wins work in intralogistics is in short supply. The people who can sell material handling, automation and storage solutions understand throughput, return on investment and integration risk. They know their worth, have options, and are rarely looking. Finding them takes deep networks and industry knowledge, not job adverts. Keeping them takes the right structure and a long-term relationship.
Evara is built for the businesses that want to hire properly. We know the industry, we know the people, and we approach the ones who fit.
What We Do
Mid to senior commercial hires.
Retained search for the commercial people who carry the number. We place mid to senior sales talent who understand technical buyers, long sales cycles and the way intralogistics deals are really won.
Directors, Heads of Sales and Managing Directors.
Confidential search for the leaders who build and run commercial functions, from the first senior sales hire to a full leadership team.
Competitor intelligence and talent insight.
A clear view of the talent landscape before you hire, so your next move is informed rather than reactive.

The Method
Seven steps that turn a brief into a hire who is still there two years on, doing what they said they would.
A written scorecard with outcomes, package and behaviours, signed off by the hiring manager before any outreach.
Prevents: A search built on a job title and a guess.
A bespoke EVP and opportunity pack: role narrative, growth story, comp benchmark, day-in-the-life and CEO or MD note, wrapped in a digital attraction campaign.
Prevents: A standout passive operator binning a generic recruiter message.
A named long-list of where the right operators actually sit, including the strong ones who are not on the market.
Prevents: A shortlist drawn from whoever happened to be applying.
A first conversation framed around your commercial brief, not a generic pitch, so the wrong fits drop out early.
Prevents: A pipeline of polished CVs with no commercial intent.
A structured assessment of pipeline ownership, leadership and motivation, scored against the scorecard agreed in step one.
Prevents: A hire who interviews well but cannot carry a number.
Three to five candidates presented with strengths, risks and cultural fit, supported through to signed offer and start date.
Prevents: A CV flood followed by a rushed offer.
Offer design that holds against a counter, a 30-60-90 plan agreed before day one, and check-ins at day 30, 60 and 90 with both the hire and the hiring leader.
Prevents: A strong hire quietly drifting in their first quarter because nobody owned the landing.
Meet the founder
Co-Founder of Evara
Rachel co-founded Evara after 11+ years leading recruitment at Toyota Material Handling, one of the world's largest material handling businesses. She knows the intralogistics world from the inside, and she knows what a strong commercial hire looks like in it.
She built the ALIGN hiring method so sales and commercial hires stop failing for the same predictable reasons: a role that was never properly defined and a screen that was never properly run.
Testimonials
"Rachel understood our market from the first conversation. She placed a senior commercial leader who knew the material handling world inside out, and the hire has hit the ground running."
Head of Sales
Global material handling firm
"We needed a sales leader who could speak credibly to dealers and end users. Rachel ran a structured search and found the right person quickly. The process was calm and thorough throughout."
