Sales Recruitment for Logistics & Supply Chain

Sales Recruitment for logistics & supply chain businesses across the North.

Retained search for senior logistics and supply-chain commercial leaders.

The logistics & supply chain commercial market.

The North of England is the logistics and distribution centre of the UK. The M62 and M6 corridors host Europe's densest concentration of distribution, fulfilment and 3PL operations, alongside a fast-growing community of supply-chain SaaS and visibility-platform vendors serving them. This is a substantial and under-served commercial market.

Why specialist logistics & supply chain sales recruitment matters

Logistics commercial sales blends operational fluency with capital-services contracting. Evara's partners have placed senior commercial leaders into 3PL, fulfilment and supply-chain SaaS businesses across the M62 corridor and understand the operational reality these commercial leaders sell against.

Salary notes

Logistics commercial salaries in the North run broadly in line with industrial manufacturing for equivalent seats. Supply-chain SaaS roles attract a mild premium where the buyer-side profile is enterprise.

How we work

The Evara sales recruitment process for logistics & supply chain.

01

Define the role

We start with a structured kick-off that captures the commercial objective, not just the title. Reporting line, comp envelope, the deal sizes the person will sell, the buyers they will sell to, and the behaviours that will succeed in your environment.

02

Map the market

We map where the right people actually sit, across direct competitors, adjacent industries and proven environments in your region. This becomes the long-list of candidates we approach, not just whoever is on the job boards this week.

03

Approach with a narrative

Candidates are approached with a clear commercial narrative, not a job advert. We communicate the opportunity, the leadership environment, the expectations and the growth path, so only genuinely relevant people move forward.

04

Screen commercially

Two structured commercial screens before a candidate ever reaches you. Track record validation, deal-stage probing, motivation, and a credibility check on the numbers they have actually delivered.

05

Shortlist and support

You receive a considered shortlist, not a CV flood. Each candidate is presented with strengths, potential risks and a fit assessment. We then support the process through to offer, acceptance and the first 90 days.

FAQs

Sales Recruitment for Logistics & Supply Chain: common questions.

Does Evara recruit for both 3PL operators and supply-chain SaaS vendors?+

Yes. We work both sides of the market and understand how 3PL operators buy supply-chain SaaS, which materially shapes the commercial profile required on both sides.

How long does an Evara sales recruitment search take?+

A typical retained search runs 6 to 10 weeks from kick-off to offer accepted. Director-level searches sit at the longer end of that range. We will not rush a shortlist to hit an arbitrary deadline.

Do you work on contingent or do-or-die fees?+

No. Every Evara search is retained on a two-payment structure: a commitment deposit paid up front to cover the strategic work, and a completion fee invoiced on day 60 of the placed candidate's employment. This protects the rigour of the process and means we are accountable for the outcome, not for activity.
