Expert Warehousing & Distrubtion Recruiter

Warehousing performance is driven by speed, accuracy and coordination across every movement of stock. We know the operational impact of missed dispatch windows, poor replenishment practices, inventory discrepancies and bottlenecks across receivals and outbound freight. Our team understands how warehouse layouts, RF scanning systems, WMS platforms and freight schedules influence labour productivity and workflow efficiency throughout the day.

We recognise the operational difference between general warehouse labour and experienced distribution staff who understand DIFOT targets, scan accuracy, pallet configuration, container unloading efficiency and high-volume dispatch environments. From high-reach forklift operations to cross-docking and replenishment workflows, IRP understands the practical demands placed on warehouse teams operating in fast-paced logistics environments.

What our clients say

It is a pleasure to deal with IRP. They take the time to understand our business and continuing working to add value on a day-to-day basis. IRP are more than just a labour hire company or a recruiter, rather to us they are a business partner who passionately care about their people and their customers.

I feel the ability to work for such a company like IRP is an honour and privilege. Their desire to cater to all of their workers is astonishing, not only the ability to continually have work, but to also reward those who have worked hard with BBQs and many other rewards.

R. Ferris Candidate

Worked for this company for 8 months before acquiring a full-time position at my place of assignment. IRP always made sure my needs were met. Pay was always on time, working hours were consistent, and overtime opportunities were ever present. Would happily work with them again.

A. Brugman Candidate

We have dealt with IRP for several years now and I like that they work hard to try to find us good people to fit into our business. Candidates are always brought to site for a tour before they are started. Our IRP Account Manager has a good knowledge of each department within our business which makes finding the right fit for us, a little easier.
