The talent market has changed but most hiring strategies haven’t.
At the upcoming Broker-Carrier Summit in Kansas City, Armada Talent Group’s Blake Collins will join a panel of industry leaders and talent experts. Together, they will tackle one of the biggest challenges in logistics today: attracting, engaging, and retaining high-performing talent.
A Critical Industry Conversation
Competition for top talent continues to rise. As a result, logistics and freight companies must rethink how they position themselves.
This panel will break down what’s driving today’s talent market. It will also explain why traditional recruiting and retention strategies no longer work.
Blake Collins will speak alongside John Rivers and other industry leaders. They will share real-world insight into what top professionals want in 2026. More importantly, they will explain how companies can align their approach to meet those expectations.
