Journey is a freight-exclusive recruiting firm built by operators who have hired, scaled, and developed freight sales teams from the inside. Whether you are an employer building a team or a candidate looking for your next role, our recruiting practice connects the right people to the right opportunities in freight brokerage, carriers, and 3PLs.
Journey offers three recruiting engagement models: Executive Search for senior leadership roles, Retained Recruiting for director-level and above, and Contingent Recruiting for mid-level freight professionals. Every search is led by recruiters who understand the freight market, not generalists learning the industry on your dime.
Not every open role calls for the same process. Executive search is a research-driven, exclusive engagement for the most senior roles, where the candidate pool is smallest and confidentiality usually matters. Retained recruiting applies the same dedicated model to director level and above. Contingent recruiting is a no-placement, no-fee model built for mid-level roles where speed matters and multiple qualified candidates exist in the market.
Choosing the wrong model is the most common and most expensive recruiting mistake in freight. Running a senior search on a contingent basis surfaces the people who are already looking, which is rarely the same group as the people you actually want.
A generalist recruiter matches keywords on a resume. Journey starts from what strong performance actually looks like in the role: how a book gets built, what separates a rep who ramps from one who stalls, and how a candidate's prior environment maps onto yours. Journey has worked with 170+ freight companies, including 12 of the top 100 players in the space.
Journey also represents people looking for their next role in freight. Both sides of the market benefit from the same thing: a recruiter who knows the industry well enough to tell when a match is genuinely right. Reach the team through the contact page.

What employers and candidates ask before working with Journey.
A freight recruiting firm sources, vets, and places talent inside brokerages, carriers, and 3PLs. Journey works exclusively in freight, so every search starts from a clear picture of what strong performance actually looks like in the role rather than a keyword match on a resume.
Journey offers three engagement models: executive search for the most senior roles, retained recruiting for director level and above, and contingent recruiting for mid-level positions.
Yes. Journey works with employers building teams and with candidates looking for their next role in freight. Both sides benefit from the same thing: a recruiter who understands the industry well enough to know when a match is genuinely right.

It depends on the engagement model. Contingent searches carry no upfront cost and a fee is due only on placement. Retained and executive searches involve a retainer to initiate the work, which is what funds full market coverage and passive candidate outreach.
The right model depends on the seniority of the role and how much of the market you need covered. A short conversation about the role usually settles it.
