Atlanta
Milebourne is a recruitment and executive search firm dedicated to the transportation, supply chain, and logistics sectors, headquartered in Atlanta.
Whether a search centers on a single distribution facility or a leadership hire spanning a national network, our team sources, screens, and places candidates who fit both the role and the operation behind it. The markets below show where we recruit.
Nationwide coverage for transportation and logistics hiring
Every search Milebourne runs can extend nationwide. Our consultants maintain working knowledge of the country's major logistics hubs, seaports, rail and air cargo gateways, inland intermodal terminals, and interstate distribution corridors, so employers are never limited to candidates within commuting distance of one site. That reach matters most in specialized searches, where the strongest candidate may sit in a different freight market than the role itself.
Because we focus exclusively on this sector, our candidate networks follow the flow of goods. We know which metro areas concentrate warehouse and distribution center leadership, which regions produce transportation managers with the right asset-based or brokerage carrier backgrounds, and where supply chain planning, procurement, and analytics talent tends to cluster.
Our searches span roles such as warehouse and DC management, transportation and fleet operations, freight brokerage and 3PL account leadership, import and export compliance, demand and supply planning, network design, and executive supply chain leadership.

Relocation and remote or hybrid hiring
Many transportation and supply chain roles require on-site leadership, and we support relocation-based searches by identifying candidates open to moving, confirming their family and timing constraints early, and screening for realistic start dates. For planning, analytics, procurement, pricing, and corporate functions, we also recruit for remote and hybrid arrangements, widening the talent pool well beyond any single metro area. In both cases, we assess candidate motivation, compensation expectations, and cultural fit before a shortlist ever reaches your desk.
