Milebourne connects professionals like you with those opportunities, from the first confidential conversation through to the offer.
Milebourne is a US recruitment and executive search firm working exclusively in transportation, supply chain, and logistics, at every level of seniority. We recruit operations managers, planners, analysts, freight sales talent, and senior leaders for employers across the country. When we represent you, you gain visibility into that demand, along with a consultant who understands the work you actually do because it is the only kind of work we recruit for. Our candidate services, including career guidance, interview preparation, and offer support, are provided at no cost to you. The employer pays our fee, so our advice costs you nothing.
How we work with candidates
Looking for a new role while you are still in one takes discretion. Our approach is built around protecting your current position, respecting your time, and keeping you informed at every stage from the first conversation onward. In practice, that comes down to three commitments we make to every candidate we represent.
Confidential conversations
Every discussion with our consultants is private. Your resume, your name, and the fact that you are exploring the market stay with us, and your current employer will never learn about your search through us. If there are specific companies you do not want us to approach, tell us and we will keep your details away from them.
Honest feedback at every stage
We tell you plainly how your experience measures against a role, how your interviews went, and where you stand in a process. If we do not think a position is right for you, we will say so and explain why, so you can spend your energy on opportunities that fit your background and goals. You will also hear from us when there is nothing to report, rather than being left to guess.
Representation only with your consent
Your resume is presented to an employer only after we have discussed the specific opportunity with you and you have agreed to move forward. Nothing is submitted in your name without your approval, which means you always know where your candidacy stands and with whom, and your resume is never circulated speculatively.
Roles we place across transportation, supply chain, and logistics
We recruit at every level of seniority, from frontline operations and planning positions through directors and senior leadership. If you are earlier in your career, we recruit for roles in warehouse and distribution operations, transportation and fleet management, and supply chain planning. If you are further along, we handle demand and inventory management, procurement and sourcing, and import, export, and customs compliance positions at the manager and director level.
For sales and business development professionals in freight services, we maintain active relationships with carriers, freight forwarders, and third-party logistics providers across the United States. At the executive level, our search work covers general management, operations leadership, and succession hiring for organizations preparing for their next phase of growth. Because we work on both permanent and contract or interim placements, we can also help if you are open to interim leadership work or a contract assignment between permanent roles.
The functions above are examples of what we recruit for, and the full range is broader. If your specialty is not mentioned, contact us and we will talk through where your experience fits.
How to submit your resume and what happens next
Getting started is straightforward, and you remain in control of the process at each step. Here is what happens from the moment your resume reaches us.
1. Send us your resume
Email your resume to contact@milebourne.com with a short note about the kind of role, location, and compensation range you are targeting. The more specific you are, the faster we can tell you whether we can help.
2. Have an initial conversation
A consultant will contact you to discuss your experience, your goals, and practical points such as where you want to work, what you expect to earn, and how quickly you could move. This is also your chance to ask us what we are seeing in the market for your function and location.
3. Review matched opportunities
When a role fits, we walk you through the company, the position, and why we think it suits you, and nothing is submitted until you say yes.
4. Interview with our support
We coordinate interviews, brief you on who you will meet and what to expect, and share the employer's actual feedback with you afterward, whether or not the outcome is the one you wanted.
5. Navigate the offer and beyond
We help you evaluate and negotiate the offer, then stay in touch through your resignation, onboarding, and the early months in your new role.
One practical note: our opportunities depend on what our client employers are hiring for at any given time. If nothing suitable is open when you reach out, we will say so plainly and keep your details on file for future searches. We will not push you toward a poor fit.
