Careers at TLM Distribution and TLM Logistics

I am always hiring smart people.

I read more than 2,400 resumes a year. I still sit in almost every interview myself, close to 600 of them a year.

What I select for. None of it appears on a CV.

Comfort with ambiguity

Because the answer often does not exist yet.

An appetite for building a process

Rather than administering one.

Above all, a willingness to be moved

To experiment and learn each day. That last one decides almost everything here.

We move people between roles far more often than a business our size normally would. If being moved feels like a demotion, this will be a hard place to spend 5 years, because it will keep happening.

We are not the home of the best talent in the world. We are a home for a certain kind of person.

How people grow here

Close to80promotions I have handed out in 6 years

Some people at TLM have been promoted 3 and 4 times since 2020, and my favourite hires arrived here after other companies had stopped looking at them properly.

The ones who fit here have grown further and faster than they expected to.

How I read your resume.

These are my own rules. Write yours with them in mind.

  1. Skip the summary at the top

    It is written to be liked. Start further down the page, where the plain facts live.

  2. Read the dates before the job titles

    A title is something a company handed them, while 4 years in one place is something they chose every morning.

  3. Look for what changed because they were there

    "Responsible for a team of 12" tells you nothing. "Cut delivery time from 9 days to 4" tells you something real.

  4. Find the one line nobody else could have written

    The odd, specific, slightly clumsy line is usually the actual person, and it is the first thing I ask about.

  5. Treat a gap as a question

    The answer is usually unremarkable, and every so often it is the best thing on the page.
