Supply Chain Management Executive Search & Headhunting
In today's volatile global economy, supply chain management is no longer a back-office support function, it is the central driver of corporate equity, cash flow, and market competitiveness. When a key supply chain seat sits vacant or is occupied by an underperforming executive, the ripple effects hit every corner of your enterprise: inventory carrying costs skyrocket, production lines stall, and retailer chargebacks erode gross margins

I have worked with Robins Consulting since 2012. They save me time by quickly delivering top talent for my hard to fill positions. They are my competitive edge.
I had the pleasure of working with Craig during my recent career transition. Craig worked tirelessly on my behalf and due to his unwavering focus; "we" successfully landed a life-changing position. Thanks for your guidance, coaching and steady-hand, Craig. I appreciate all your help!
Craig served as the executive recruiter who helped successfully lead me through the recruitment process leading to an executive position at Swift Transportation. Craig was honest, direct, well organized, and followed through on commitments he made to me. He helped me understand the requirements and skills necesary to succeed in the role he was recruiting to fill, provided exposure to key leaders, and helped me understand the culture of the company.
I reached out to Craig to gain insight on a project I was working on. Craig was a great resource and most willing to help me understand a market I was just discovering. Craig helped me recruit an experienced trucking executive to assume the President role of Chesapeake Energy’s new Trucking Division. I really appreciate the help Craig provided and would recommend him without hesitation.
I worked with Craig on a daily basis for over a decade at Stevens Transport. He was my Vice President of Human Resources. He helped me grow my company by recruiting experienced candidates for every department. We called him again in mid-2016 to recruit an experienced Vice President of Administration, Director of Maintenance and a Director of Safety. Craig continues to deliver solid results for us.
Hands down, the best Executive Recruiter I've ever worked with. Craig is driven, well connected, and extremely experienced at what he does. I highly recommend working with him
Thank you Craig, for identifying and successfully recruiting our Executive Vice President of Intermodal. He’s been a fantastic addition to our Executive Team!
Frequently asked questions about transportation executive search
How do you keep the logistics and 3PL search confidential?
We do not post your critical or confidential roles on public job boards. Sourcing a competitor’s key sales or operational manager requires absolute discretion to protect your corporate reputation and avoid alerting the market. We map out target competitor organizations, identify their top-performing leaders on the inside, and reach out to them directly. All communications are handled confidentially, utilizing technology to find personal contact information so we can schedule interviews on nights and weekends when these active managers are actually available to speak.
How do you verify a candidate's "book of business" before introducing them to us?
Because Craig Robins brings over 34 years of hands-on operations and human resources experience, we do not evaluate candidates using superficial resume checklists. We run rigorous, peer-level technical conversations to vet sales directors and branch managers, ensuring their historical performance is based on true, transferable customer relationships—not just riding on corporate house accounts. We test their real-world understanding of capacity procurement, shipper pricing strategies, and TMS optimization.
How quickly can you present qualified 3PL candidates?
We operate with speed and precision. Within 10 business days of launching your logistics or 3PL search, we will present fully vetted, highly aligned executive candidates directly to your team for review.
What happens if the placed logistics executive does not work out?
We are not interested in one-time placements; our reputation is based on total client satisfaction and building long-lasting partnerships. We stand behind our results and back every search with a straightforward, written placement satisfaction guarantee. This commitment is supported by our 98.7% placement accuracy rate over 34+ years of industry experience.
