Recruiting Built for Logistics.
Talent Built to Scale.
Sales, operations, and leadership talent for logistics companies that can't afford to hire wrong.
A bad hire doesn't just cost money.
It costs momentum.
A wrong hire doesn't just leave. It eats months of your time, stalls projects, and makes you start over. In logistics, every week without the right person costs you customers.
Average cost per mis-hire
Salary, training, lost productivity, and the cost of replacing them. Again..
Productivity lost
The ramp-up that never happened, the projects that stalled, the team that carried the weight.
Say their last hire underperformed
Most companies know the pain but keep using the same process that created it.
Every hire should be intentional.
We don't send stacks of resumes and hope. We run a single search at a time, built around your role, your culture, and the people you actually need.
Strategic Talent Search
A custom search built around your role and your business. We source, vet, and deliver candidates who fit the seat now and grow with the company over time.
- Structured candidate scoring on fit, behavior & tenure
- Success profile development before sourcing
- Structured interviews & behavioral assessments
- 30/60/90-day post-hire check-ins
Executive Search
C-suite, VP, and Director-level placements for companies where the wrong leader sets the team back a year. Confidential, precise, and run from kickoff to offer by one principal.
- C-suite, VP & Director-level placements
- Competitive market intelligence reports
- Discreet, confidential search process
- Placement guarantee included
Real-Time Client Experience
Retained clients don't chase us for status updates. The portal shows your live pipeline, interview debriefs, and search progress the moment we update them.
- Live candidate pipeline & status updates
- Structured interview debrief system
- Search health & milestone tracking
- Exclusive to retained engagements
Four stages. One outcome.
Every engagement runs through the same four stages in the same order. The depth scales to the role. The structure does not bend.
Define
Every search starts with a kickoff call. Together, we write down what success looks like, who's hireable in the market, and what the role pays today.
Vet
Every candidate runs the same evaluation. A behavioral interview, a real skills test for the role, and a structured screen. By the time you see a name, the proof is already in writing.
Compare
Three to five finalists, delivered together. Each one has a full profile, a fit score, and our take on how they stack up. You make the call in one sitting, not over weeks.
Secure
We run references on the same scorecard. We help shape the offer and see it to signature. On day one, your hiring manager gets a one-page handoff. We check in at thirty, sixty, and ninety days.

30-minute call · No commitment required
I started HartFelt Careers because I'd watched too many agencies send candidates they knew weren't qualified, just to keep a search alive and a fee in motion. We do recruiting the opposite way. Every candidate we submit is qualified with measurable success data. We specialize in sales, operations, and leadership roles across logistics and supply chain. Nothing else.
A modern recruiting agency.
Built different.
We pair deep logistics and supply chain expertise with a documented process that produces hires you can defend in writing. This is not high-volume recruiting. We run a small number of searches at a time so each one gets the attention a real hire deserves.
Our Mission
Make recruiting an investment that pays off, not a cost line you regret. Every hire qualified with measurable success data before it lands on your desk.
Our Vision
A logistics industry where the hire your team needs is the obvious one when you see the shortlist. Not a guess. Not a coin flip. A clear answer.
Capacity By Design
We cap our active searches so yours doesn't compete for attention with twenty others. The waitlist is real. So is the depth you get when your search starts.
Skin In The Game
One principal owns your search from kickoff through ninety-day check-in. The work has my name on it because the accountability does.
Recruiting that keeps you in the loop, not in the dark.
Most agencies hand you a stack of resumes and disappear. We don't. From kickoff through offer acceptance, you watch the search happen in real time, know who's been screened and why, and never wonder where things stand.
Real-Time Search Visibility
The portal updates the moment we do. You see the candidate, the score, the interview note. No status emails. No "checking in next Tuesday."
Specialist-Led Sourcing
Logistics is the only vertical we work in. We know who the operators are, who's looking, and who's quietly available. Most of our shortlists land before the competing firms have started theirs.
Structured Decision Making
Interview debriefs and candidate scorecards on every finalist. When you sit down to choose, you're choosing on evidence you can defend to your CEO, not on whoever interviewed best last Tuesday.
We do our best work with companies
who think like this.
If any of these sound like you, we'll probably get along. If none do, we may not be the right fit, and that's a useful thing to know early.
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
Every week the seat is empty costs you money. You want someone who moves fast and still presents people you'd actually want to hire.
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.
