Your partner in efficient, future-proof and compliant hiring
The Logistics, Transport & Production sector is undergoing a major transition. Digitisation, sustainability and a structural staff shortage are putting pressure on organisations. At the same time, compliance, safety and cost control are more important than ever.
Sector insights from 2025
What is happening in the sector?
The challenges in this sector require more than just filling vacancies. For example, the labour market is highly gender-unequal (78% male), rates have barely risen (3.7% in three years) and competition is increasing while supply is levelling off. At the same time, digitisation and CSRD legislation are creating entirely new job profiles such as EV planners and CO₂ modellers.
In short: the need for agile, future-proof capacity is growing. As are the requirements for compliance and sustainability.
