In this episode, Dave Gulas sits down with renowned logistics recruiter Charlie Saffro to give entrepreneurs, small business owners, and startup founders a real-world perspective on the state of the job market in logistics and supply chain as of July 2025. If you’re building a business and want the inside scoop on hiring, talent retention, and what employers and candidates are really looking for post-pandemic, this candid conversation is packed with direct, actionable insights.
Charlie explains how the market shifted from the Great Resignation to a true employer’s market, with more job seekers than jobs and reveals the hiring mistakes businesses make in these conditions, from endless interview rounds to lowball offers that harm employer branding. Entrepreneurs will gain valuable ideas on how to attract top talent, balance cost with flexibility and culture, and why investing in employee development pays off, especially for small teams.
There’s also a deep dive into the evolving workplace: hybrid, remote, and how real flexibility (not just working from home) is redefining employee happiness. For founders navigating AI’s impact on logistics roles, Charlie shares what’s happening on the ground and why human problem-solving and soft skills still matter more than ever.
If you want your company to hire smarter in today’s logistics ecosystem, this episode is a must-watch.
