Logistics Staffing and Recruiting Agency

Near is a full-service nearshore staffing and recruiting partner that helps US companies hire across industries and departments, including logistics, freight, and supply chain operations.

We regularly place logistics analysts, billing specialists, operations analysts, and ERP professionals at freight brokers, 3PLs, and logistics tech companies.

Our services cover everything from sourcing and screening to payroll, contracts, and compliance through our staffing model.

Our logistics recruiting services include:

1. Candidate sourcing and screening: We handle sourcing, English proficiency testing, verification of freight and logistics experience, initial interviews, and international background checks.
2. Payroll, compliance, and contracts: Through our staffing model, Near manages contracts, payroll, and tax compliance so you can hire in LatAm without navigating local labor law yourself.
3. Equipment and onboarding logistics: If you need it, we can make it happen. We’ve helped clients source laptops to avoid customs delays, secure office space, and coordinate equipment setup.
4. Ongoing support: Once your hire is in place, your dedicated recruiter stays available for check-ins and anything that comes up.

Both our recruitment-only and full-service staffing options include the same rigorous vetting and no upfront costs.

Near places logistics professionals across operations analysis, freight coordination, billing and collections, customer service, account management, procurement, finance, and IT and systems roles, including SAP developers, ERP specialists, and business analysts who support logistics platforms and operations.

Near also fills the non-logistics functions that logistics companies need just as much: billing teams, financial analysts, administrative assistants, and customer-facing reps who understand freight workflows and can work independently during US hours.

If the role can be performed remotely, Near can find you a qualified candidate in Latin America.

Yes. LatAm logistics professionals work full US business hours because Latin America’s time zones are naturally closely aligned with the US. There’s no overnight lag, no waiting until your afternoon for a response that should have arrived in the morning.

Logistics is a time-sensitive function. Carrier issues, shipment delays, billing disputes, and customer escalations don’t wait.

A team operating in your time zone means those problems get resolved the same day, not 12 hours later.

Companies that have previously relied on offshore logistics support in India or the Philippines consistently cite time zone misalignment as their biggest operational frustration. LatAm removes that problem entirely.

Yes. LatAm logistics professionals regularly have hands-on experience with SAP, Oracle Transportation Management, NetSuite, and other ERP and TMS platforms widely used by US logistics companies, as well as freight brokerage tools, Power BI, and advanced Excel for operations reporting.

Near screens for this specifically. We ask candidates about the platforms they’ve worked with, the freight functions they’ve supported within those systems, and the operational scale they’ve managed. Candidates who can’t demonstrate real familiarity with the tools your team uses don’t make the shortlist.

Hiring logistics talent in Latin America outperforms hiring in traditional offshore locations because you get full US time zone overlap, stronger English fluency for carrier and client communication, and closer alignment with US professional norms and operational expectations.

The pattern logistics companies describe after trying offshore support in Asia is consistent: carrier calls are difficult to schedule during shared hours, decisions lag by a day, and the coordination overhead of running async on a time-sensitive function adds up quickly.

The talent Near finds you in LatAm works your schedule, communicates clearly, and operates with the same professional cadence your US team does. For logistics roles where real-time responsiveness and direct vendor or carrier interaction are part of the job, the difference is meaningful.

Near delivers a vetted shortlist of logistics candidates within 5 business days of kickoff, and most clients complete their hire in under 21 days.

Near maintains a pre-vetted network of 45,000+ candidates, but we don’t stop there. Every search includes a fresh sourcing run specifically for your role, so you’re not limited to whoever happens to be in the existing pool. You get the speed of a warm network and the precision of a search built around exactly what you need.

Near’s fees depend on which model you choose—recruiting only, or full-service staffing that includes payroll and compliance—and we cover both clearly on the first call.

There are no upfront costs. You only pay once you make a hire.

Most clients find that even after Near’s fees, the total annual cost of a LatAm logistics hire is still up to 60% less than the equivalent US-based role.

During your discovery call, we’ll share current salary benchmarks for the specific roles you’re hiring so you can set competitive compensation and attract the strongest candidates available.

Near works with freight brokers, trucking companies, third-party logistics (3PL) providers, last-mile and delivery services, freight forwarders, logistics technology platforms, and supply chain consulting and operations firms.

The common thread across all of these is the same: US-based logistics businesses that need skilled remote professionals who can work their hours, communicate clearly, and hit the ground running.

Near has placed logistics talent across early-stage startups building their first operations function and established companies with complex, multi-client operations.

No. Near only presents logistics candidates with strong, professional English (written and spoken) verified through our screening interviews before anyone reaches your shortlist.

We include video introductions with every candidate so you can assess communication style, tone, and presence before you've committed to a single interview.

For logistics roles where clear communication with carriers, clients, or internal teams is part of the job, you'll be able to judge that for yourself upfront.

Yes. Near offers a 180-day replacement guarantee. If the candidate doesn’t work out within that window, we’ll find a replacement at no additional cost.
