Logistics Recruitment in Ireland

Ireland's logistics sector keeps the country moving. From road haulage and freight forwarding to last-mile delivery and supply chain management, the industry is growing — and so is the demand for skilled logistics professionals at every level.

Foresight is an Irish recruitment agency that specialises in logistics placements. We work with haulage companies, freight forwarders, 3PLs, retailers, and manufacturers to source, vet, and place logistics professionals who keep operations running smoothly.

The Logistics Talent Challenge

Ireland's logistics sector faces a perfect storm: an ageing driver workforce, increasing e-commerce volumes, and growing regulatory complexity. The driver shortage alone has been well documented, but the challenge extends to freight coordinators, customs specialists (post-Brexit), and supply chain managers who can optimise increasingly complex operations.

Foresight addresses these challenges by combining local recruitment expertise with international sourcing. We find logistics professionals who have the right licences, experience, and temperament for your operation, whether that's a long-haul truck driver or a supply chain director.

Logistics — The Logistics Talent Challenge

International Logistics Recruitment

When local logistics professionals aren't available, we source from our international network. We handle work permit applications, licence validation, and settling-in support so your new hires arrive ready to contribute. For drivers, we verify licences, arrange any required conversions, and ensure full compliance with RSA requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Logistics recruitment in Ireland: what you need to know.

How quickly can you supply logistics staff in Ireland?
For drivers and warehouse operatives, we can often present screened candidates within 3–7 working days for permanent roles. Temporary and contract logistics staff can be mobilised faster depending on availability in our candidate network.
Do you recruit HGV and truck drivers in Ireland?
Yes, HGV and truck drivers are among our most in-demand placements. We verify CPC qualifications, licence categories, tachograph compliance, and driving records before any candidate is put forward to an employer.
Can you source logistics workers from outside Ireland?
Absolutely. Given the driver shortage across Ireland and the UK, we source qualified HGV drivers and logistics operatives internationally, managing work permits and travel logistics from start to finish.
What logistics roles do you recruit for beyond drivers?
We recruit across the full logistics function: transport managers, fleet controllers, dispatchers, freight coordinators, customs agents, and supply chain planners. Whether it's the cab or the control room, we cover it.
How much does logistics recruitment cost in Ireland?
Fees are a percentage of the candidate's salary, agreed before the search begins with no hidden charges. For volume driver hiring or ongoing logistics staffing needs, we can discuss framework pricing. Contact us for details.
Do you cover logistics recruitment outside Dublin?
Yes, we place logistics staff across Ireland, including major distribution hubs in Cork, Limerick, Galway, and along key motorway corridors. Regional coverage is no barrier for our national network.
