Bruce’s Crossroad

Bruce Wilson, CEO of Logistics Holdings Australia, (LHA), a holding company with five transport subsidiaries – BagTrans, GKR Transport, Niche Logistics, Spectrum Transport and Formby – began their partnership with Career Crossroads International in 2020. “I met Mike through a colleague about the same time as the start of COVID,” he recalls. “I wanted to try someone who I felt offered more than the big recruiting companies for whom people are a commodity. Mike seemed different to that. He seemed to take an interest in the people part of the journey. When he is working for us, he is not just trying to fill holes and move on – he is seeking to find a cultural alignment of the candidate with our organisation.

The Talent Management Solution

Bruce said his engagements of Career Crossroads International during the pandemic were successful. “It was a tough time for recruitment during the past three years,” he said. At times, it was tough to find anyone, let alone the right person. As well as pandemic job security concerns, there were escalating expectations from the market as well. Mike spent time with our relevant hiring managers to understand what they were looking for. He has sourced exceptional talent who have the right cultural fit for the business.

The Path Forward

Bruce said he was very satisfied with the people recruited through Career Crossroads International. “While I have only recruited two direct reports during that time, the business has recruited another 10-12 people beneath that level across four of our businesses. In general, they have turned out pretty well. Mike is very professional and easy to get on with and he takes the time to understand the engagement to align the candidate with the organisation. I would certainly recommend Career Crossroads International – and indeed I have.
