We conducted a survey among specialists of logistics companies in which we employ people. These words are the reaction they received from their environment after they talked about their field of activity.

As a recruiting agency, we cooperate with international logistics companies, so you always see open vacancies in the field of logistics. These are no longer just our clients, but partners with whom we share common values and views on professional development within teams.

One of our rules is to promote the growth of each specialist. What is it for?

The success of the company is the success of every single person who is involved in its work. The more comfortable a person feels at the workplace, the more satisfaction he/she gets from tasks, the more reliable the partnership is. After all, one of the working principles of our clients is to invest in their people and build long-term working relationships. Therefore, when selecting candidates, we pay attention not only to professional skills, but also to their vision of the future and the desire to move forward.

??How is it implemented??

In order for people to constantly feel that they can do more, a separate department for training and team development was created. It deals with the development of trainings, programs, and lessons for improving the qualifications of specialists. That is, in addition to vertical development (from a specialist to a manager) and horizontal (with the possibility of changing the direction), they acquire the necessary knowledge and skills in the process of work.

I have been working for the company for over 8 years. Finding the right specialist for a particular job in the company has always been quite challenging. The idea of growing up and developing the specialists within the company was born naturally. And it showed itself as a very effective way. In our company, we use a new approach to employee learning and corporate world continual training. That is the Corporate University.?Many agents adore the concept of learning without leaving their desks. Corporate University provides a variety of courses and delivery methods to suit the requirements and interests of various sorts of agents. Besides, it gives credit to agents for attending classes and finishing training courses.

But you can talk as much as you want about the company and its advantages. In fact, the only thing that matters is how it is implemented in practice. And the employees themselves speak best about the results.

After the interview, all my expectations were confirmed. Everything was as the HR-manager said, and sometimes even better. During work, especially in the first weeks, you absorb a huge amount of new information and communicate with native speakers, which allows you to feel more confident. The first month is a period of adaptation, when you can fully rely on your team-leader. It helped me a lot to get into the right work rhythm faster. The whole team tries to work for the result and, because of this, the team has a very cool atmosphere.

My positive experience of cooperation with the company began with an interview. The HR manager answered all questions, accompanied me at all stages and was interested in my progress during the entire period, including the trial part.

In addition to an interesting experience, the company gives personal growth and friends, for which I am very grateful. A separate plus is the experience of communicating with people from other countries, great language practice and familiarity with another mentality.

Oleksandra, Accounting

It is very cool that the team itself plays a big role in the working process. Even in the most difficult situation, they will help you with advice or a possible solution to the problem. During the work, it was possible to improve the ability of effective communication. It was also quite unexpected to learn about the company's rapid pace of development, because it does not stand still and provides an opportunity to develop by conducting various trainings and courses."

Julia, Dispatcher

?Logistics is a dynamic and diverse field. For many of the specialists we hired, it opened up from the other side even during training. And the work process gave an understanding of the level of opportunities and prospects that await everyone who is ready to develop in the field and the company.

What is your impression of logistics now? How related are stereotypes and reality?
