Our recruiting fee is contingent upon a successful placement.
Specialized recruiting for transportation & logistics companies.
Hippogriff Search Partner helps 3PLs, freight brokerages, asset-based carriers, freight forwarders, and logistics service providers hire experienced commercial talent throughout the United States.
Our core focus is sales and business development, from individual contributors to commercial leadership, with select searches across pricing, account management, and operations.
Our searches are conducted on a contingency basis — there is no recruiting fee unless you hire a candidate we introduce.
Depending on the search, we evaluate candidates across areas including:
Production: Historical gross profit, revenue, new business generation, and account growth.
Transportation Experience: Truckload, LTL, intermodal, air, ocean, expedited, drayage, warehousing, and other relevant services.
Shipper Experience: The industries, customer profiles, and shipper verticals candidates have experience developing and supporting.
Sales Experience: New logo acquisition, prospecting, account development, territory management, and existing customer growth.
Book of Business: Existing customer relationships, account ownership, and portability when relevant to the position.
Industry Environment: Experience within asset-based transportation, freight brokerage, 3PL, freight forwarding, and other logistics service models.
Leadership: For management and executive searches, we assess team leadership, hiring and coaching experience, sales KPIs, commercial strategy, and individual production history.
A Focused Search
Our goal isn't to send the largest number of candidates. It's to understand what success looks like within your organization and identify professionals whose experience aligns with your commercial model.
We source beyond active applicants, engaging professionals across the transportation and logistics market who may not be actively applying to positions but are open to the right opportunity.
