  • Experience with freight audit, invoice reconciliation, and claims management
  • Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups) and comfort analyzing large shipment data sets
  • Proven ability to work across operations, customer service, sales, and finance
  • Clear communicator who can present to leadership and train frontline teams

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
