Role
Dispatch Officer
The hiring challenge
They control what goes out, in what condition and with what documentation; in an interview you cannot see whether they sustain documentary rigor when there is pressure to dispatch fast, nor the firmness to stop a shipment that does not add up.
What to assess
Order and documentary rigor, information management, safety awareness and integrity in controlling outbound shipments.
