The reality

A bad hire doesn't just cost money.
It costs momentum.

Every wrong hire drains your team's time, slows operations, and forces you to restart the process from scratch. In logistics, where speed is everything, that cost compounds fast.

$150K+

Average cost per mis-hire

Salary, training, lost productivity, and the cost of replacing them — again.

4+ mo

Productivity lost

The ramp-up that never happened, the projects that stalled, the team that carried the weight.

67%

Say their last hire underperformed

Most companies know the pain — but keep using the same process that created it.

Our Process

Four steps to your next great hire.

No recycled resumes. No black-box timelines. A structured, AI-accelerated system that finds the right people faster — and keeps you informed every step of the way.

01

Discover

We learn your business, team dynamics, and what success really looks like — then build a search strategy around it.

02

Predict

AI-enhanced sourcing scores candidates on role fit, culture alignment, and projected tenure — so your shortlist is the strongest in the market.

03

Select

Structured interviews, skill validation, and behavioral assessments. You get full candidate profiles with context — not just resumes and gut feelings.

04

Place & Protect

We support onboarding, check in at 30/60/90 days, and stand behind every hire. That's how we keep 95% first-year retention.

Blake Hart — Founder & Principal Recruiter
Blake Hart
Founder & Principal Recruiter

I started HartFelt Careers to make recruiting feel less like a gamble and more like a strategic advantage. No recycled resumes. No drawn-out timelines. No guessing games — just curated talent delivered with speed and clarity. We specialize in the roles that move the needle — sales, operations, and leadership — across logistics and supply chain.

Who We Are

A modern search firm.
Built different.

We combine deep logistics and supply chain expertise with AI-powered tools to deliver hires that outperform. This isn't high-volume recruiting. It's precision talent acquisition for companies that know the cost of getting it wrong.

Our Mission

Replace guesswork with predictive, data-driven recruiting that delivers hires who perform, stay, and elevate the entire organization.

Our Vision

A world where every hire is intentional — and companies grow with confidence because their recruiting partner brought clarity and lasting impact.

Precision Over Volume

We define your success profile first, then use market data and structured assessments to target high-fit talent. Not a stack of resumes — a shortlist that makes sense.

Partnership, Not Transactions

We work with you, not for you. Every engagement is built on trust, transparency, and shared accountability for the outcome.

Why HartFelt

Recruiting that keeps you in the loop — not in the dark.

Most agencies hand you a stack of resumes and disappear. We embed ourselves in your hiring process and give you full visibility from kickoff to offer acceptance — powered by tools that move at the speed your business demands.

Real-Time Search Visibility

Retained clients track every candidate, interview, and milestone in a live portal. No more email chains for status updates.

AI-Accelerated Sourcing

We use AI to identify, score, and rank top candidates before your competition even sees them — cutting weeks off your timeline.

Structured Decision Making

Interview debriefs, candidate scorecards, and success profiles replace gut feelings with data you can actually act on.

Our sweet spot

We do our best work with companies
who think like this.

Every company's hiring journey is different. Here's where our approach tends to create the most impact.

Growing and hiring to keep up

You're scaling operations and need people who can hit the ground running — not warm bodies to fill seats.

Tired of recycled resumes

You've worked with agencies before and walked away with a stack of candidates who didn't move the needle.

Speed matters to your business

Open roles cost you money every week. You want a partner who moves with urgency without sacrificing quality.

You value transparency over volume

You'd rather see 5 deeply vetted candidates than 50 resumes. And you want to know exactly where the search stands at all times.

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

Everything you need to know about working with us.

Retained means we're your exclusive recruiting partner with a dedicated, prioritized search. You get full portal access, deeper market mapping, and a 90-day guarantee. Contingent is performance-based — you pay on successful hire with a 60-day guarantee. Both deliver thoroughly vetted, high-quality candidates tailored to your needs.
Our core expertise is logistics and supply chain — 3PLs, freight brokerages, warehouse operations, cold chain, last-mile, and intermodal. We place operations and sales talent from mid-level managers to C-suite. Our platform is designed to scale into adjacent industries as we grow.
Most searches are completed in 3–6 weeks depending on role complexity. Our AI-accelerated sourcing and structured process cuts significant time off traditional timelines without cutting corners. You'll have visibility into every milestone.
Retained clients get access to a real-time delivery portal showing live candidate pipelines, interview debriefs, progress milestones, and search health dashboards. It's part of how we deliver — not a separate product. Everything about your search, in one place.
We focus on operations and sales talent that drives growth — Operations Managers, Directors of Logistics, VPs of Supply Chain, and C-suite executives. If the role impacts revenue, efficiency, or organizational trajectory, it's in our wheelhouse.
