This feels exciting… and honestly, a little uncomfortable.

I have just launched my podcast: Freight Unpacked.

Putting myself out there like this hasn’t come naturally to me.

I have never been someone who enjoys the spotlight.
Recording, sharing my voice, being seen… it has always pushed me well outside my comfort zone.

Even posting on LinkedIn felt like a stretch at first.

But growth rarely happens in comfort.

So here I am.

Why a podcast?

After starting my career in freight and moving into recruitment, I have seen just how much this industry has changed.

But one thing hasn’t.

The people.

There is a strong, often untold community behind freight, and I wanted to create a space where those stories can be shared.

That is what Freight Unpacked is about.

Real conversations. Real experiences. Real people in the industry.

Episode 1 is now live on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube.

Thank you to Daniel Jovanovic (J.P NSW) for being my first guest.

If you give it a listen, I would genuinely love your feedback.

There’s one line in almost every job description that sparks more debate than most employers realise:

“Other duties as directed by management.”

For some businesses, it’s about flexibility and teamwork.

For employees, it can sometimes feel like a gateway to unclear expectations, role creep, burnout, and blurred boundaries.

As workplace culture continues to evolve, more professionals are questioning where the line sits between reasonable flexibility and undefined obligation.

I’ve explored the growing debate around this common job description clause, why it’s becoming a recruitment red flag for some candidates, and what employers can do differently.

Have you ever advertised a role and received fewer applications than expected?

In logistics, a lack of applications doesn’t always mean a lack of interest.

Many experienced candidates are open to new opportunities but choose not to apply due to unclear job ads, lack of salary transparency or concerns about the hiring process.

At People in Focus, we see this gap between interest and action every day.

In our latest blog, we explore why candidates don’t apply and what employers can do to improve engagement and attract the right talent.

Are logistics candidates actively looking for jobs?

It’s a question many employers are asking right now.

In reality, most experienced professionals in freight, logistics and supply chain are not actively applying for roles. Instead, they are passive candidates who may be open to the right opportunity but are not searching job boards.

This has a big impact on how businesses should approach hiring.

At People in Focus, we work closely with employers to help them engage with this hidden talent market.

In our latest blog, we break down what this means and how businesses can adapt their recruitment approach.

How long does your hiring process take?

In today’s competitive job market, top candidates are often interviewing with multiple companies at the same time. If your recruitment process drags on, the best people may accept another offer before you’re ready to make a decision.

A slow hiring process can lead to:

• losing strong candidates
• increased pressure on your team
• lost productivity

In our latest blog, we explore the hidden costs of recruitment delays and share practical ways businesses can improve their hiring process.
