Your Warehousing Employment Specialists


Industrial Recruitment Partners has been involved in the Perth local Warehousing sector since 2006, providing fully outsourced recruitment and HR services to local Warehousing & Distribution operations.


Successful warehousing and logistics demands precision and efficiency. One of the most common challenges faced is lack of space. So, warehouse layout, flow and automation has a significant influence on overall supply chain costs and performance. But it’s the people aspect that has the biggest impact on your ability to operate efficiently and accurately so the right products are delivered on time.

“Mistakes are frequent and it's affecting our public image and efficiency. What’s going wrong?”

“Why can’t they adapt to our systems and processes more effectively?”

“Is there a lack of commitment to public service values among our new hires?”

“Why do our staff lack the necessary communication skills to engage with diverse stakeholders in the community?”
