What a logistics staffing agency has to solve
Two things keep freight seats open. Local candidates for dispatch, safety and driver recruiting are scarce and priced like it. Meanwhile billing, track and trace and document work quietly absorb headcount you never budgeted.
Scarce, priced like it

Headcount you never budgeted
Billing, track and trace and document work quietly absorb headcount you never budgeted.
Posting harder fails
You get volume, not fit, and your ops manager reads resumes instead of covering loads.
Split by desk
Terminal-floor seats go through US direct hire. Seats that need a screen, a headset and a TMS login go to a managed global team member.
Two models, one honest number
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary for a placement. Hold both HireHawk models against that number, because both come in under it. Pick the model that matches the desk, then the fee structure that matches your cash.
Track and trace, billing, documentation and carrier support, run as fully managed seats inside your TMS. From $12/hr all-inclusive covering sourcing, vetting, payroll, compliance and support.

The right model depends on the seat, not the business. Some roles need someone in the building; back-office, documentation and administrative work does not, and costs far less remotely.

Frequently asked questions
Which model fits a dispatch desk, US or Global?
It depends on what the dispatcher touches. If the seat handles drivers walking in, yard moves and shop talk, hire in office through US direct hire at a $995 retainer plus 12.5%. If it lives in the TMS, on the phone and in email, a Global Fully Managed dispatcher at $12/hr covers it. Most fleets run one of each.
How fast can you fill a logistics seat?
You get a shortlist in 10 calendar days on both models, and onboarding completes in 21 days once you pick someone. Speed comes from sourcing continuously across six core talent markets rather than starting from zero. Freight experience is filtered before you see a profile.
Can a global team member cover nights and weekends?
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons freight teams start there. Track and trace, check calls and exception handling run around the clock. Global Fully Managed team members work your hours, not theirs, at $12/hr all-inclusive. That usually costs less than a US night differential.
Do you place DOT compliance and safety staff?
Yes. DOT Compliance Specialists, Safety Coordinators and Driver Qualification File Specialists go out as US direct hires at a $995 retainer plus 12.5%, because the role sits close to your drivers and your auditor. A global team member can handle file assembly and chasing underneath that person. Sign-off stays with your named safety official.
What does this cost against a traditional agency?
Traditional agencies charge 20-30% of first-year salary. US direct hire is a $995 retainer plus 12.5%, or 15% with no upfront if you prefer to pay nothing to start. Global Fully Managed runs from $12/hr all-inclusive with no placement fee, and saves up to 70% versus US salaries.
What happens if a freight hire does not work out?
US direct hire carries a 60-day replacement guarantee. Global Fully Managed carries a 100% performance replacement guarantee. Other options typically replace inside 30 to 90 days, and charge a fee to do it. On Global, a dedicated Client Success Manager stays on the account for the life of the hire, so problems surface early.
Do you handle dock and warehouse labour?
Not on this page. Forklift operators, pickers, packers and dock associates are a different hiring motion, and they live on warehouse and light industrial staffing. This page covers the desks around the freight: dispatch, compliance, customs, billing and customer service.
