In distribution and logistics, having the right people ready to hit the ground running can be the difference between meeting deadlines and falling behind. At HOBAN Recruitment, we have seen firsthand how challenging it can be to find skilled workers who can seamlessly step into fast-paced environments without missing a beat. That’s why we built our Distribution Development Centres (DDCs) in Sydney and Melbourne.
The DDCs are not just training spaces. They are purpose-built environments that replicate real-life warehousing and logistics operations. Here, candidates receive practical, hands-on training in forklift operation, RF scanning, voice picking, manual handling, cleanroom processes, and other relevant skills. By the time they arrive on your site, they’re ready to get to work with confidence.
Why This Matters for Your Business
When you partner with HOBAN for your distribution and logistics recruitment, you get access to a pool of candidates who have already proven their capabilities in environments that mirror your own. This approach reduces onboarding time, improves safety outcomes, and increases productivity from day one.
We customise our training programs to align with your site’s requirements, ensuring candidates understand your processes and safety expectations before they step through your doors. This not only helps your team perform at its best but also contributes to higher retention rates, saving you time and resources in the long run.
Real-World Assessments, Not Just CVs
At HOBAN, we know that a resume doesn’t always tell the whole story. That’s why our Distribution Development Centres use simulated assessments that reflect the real tasks and environments candidates will experience on your site. We assess candidates on practical skills, including forklift operation, order picking accuracy, manual handling, and process flow understanding, to ensure they are not just “qualified” on paper, but also capable and confident in practice.
We also incorporate values and personality profiling to help ensure candidates are the right cultural fit for your team, leading to stronger performance and better long-term outcomes.
Supporting Industry Growth and Community Outcomes
Our Distribution Development Centres play a vital role in addressing skills shortages in the warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing sectors. We work closely with job seekers from diverse backgrounds, including mature workers, people returning to the workforce, and those seeking a new career path in logistics.
The result? A steady pipeline of job-ready talent prepared for the demands of your operation, helping your business keep pace in a competitive market while making a positive community impact.
