Frequently asked questions about transportation executive search

Why does Robins Consulting use a retained executive search model?

Contingency agencies operate on high-speed volume. They rely on scraping active candidate databases and "posting and praying" on public job boards to flood your inbox with resumes in hopes that one sticks. This high-friction, unvetted approach is highly inefficient for critical executive-level placements. By contrast, our confidential retained search model allows us to map out competitor organizations, identify top-performing passive leaders who are currently employed, and recruit them directly. Retained search guarantees exclusive, dedicated sourcing hours from Craig Robins, peer-level candidate vetting, and complete search confidentiality.

How do you protect our corporate confidentiality during a sensitive executive transition?

Maintaining absolute confidentiality is central to our process. Publicly advertising a high-level opening can cause unnecessary internal disruption, alarm lenders, or trigger client flight. We sign strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), conduct our outreach completely off public job boards, and communicate directly with candidates via private channels. We schedule vetting calls on evenings and weekends to protect both your corporate brand and the candidate’s active operational role.

How is Robins Consulting able to present fully vetted candidate profiles within 10 business days?

We do not start our searches from scratch. Backed by over 34 years of hyper-focused industry executive recruiting and Craig Robins' former corporate operational tenure, we maintain a continuously mapped, pre-vetted national network of transportation and logistics leaders. The moment you launch a retained campaign with us, we already know who the top-performing players are in your strategic lanes, allowing us to initiate direct outreach immediately.

What does your written performance guarantee cover if a placed executive leaves?

Every retained executive search is protected by our written placement satisfaction guarantee. We believe in building long-term, strategic partnerships rather than transactional placements. If a placed executive does not meet your operational or cultural standards, or leaves within the agreed-upon guarantee period, we will conduct a full replacement search at absolutely no additional professional fee to your organization.

    Honesty, insight & results
    Craig served as the executive recruiter who helped successfully lead me through the recruitment process leading to an executive position at Swift Transportation. Craig was honest, direct, well organized, and followed through on commitments he made to me.  He helped me understand the requirements and skills neccessary to succeed in the role he was recruiting to fill, provided exposure to key leaders, and helped me understand the culture of the company.

    They keep me on top
    I reached out to Craig to gain insight on a project I was working on. Craig was a great resource and most willing to help me understand a market I was just discovering. Craig helped me recruit an experienced trucking executive to assume the President role of Chesapeake Energy’s new Trucking Division. I really appreciate the help Craig provided and would recommend him without hesitation.

    Continues to deliver solid results
    I worked with Craig on a daily basis for over a decade at Stevens Transport. He was my Vice President of Human Resources. He helped me grow my company by recruiting experienced candidates for every department. We called him again in mid-2016 to recruit an experienced Vice President of Administration, Director of Maintenance and a Director of Safety. Craig continues to deliver solid results for us.
