Constellation Cold Logistics case study

Constellation Cold Logistics is the leading European cold logistics provider, with over 600,000 pallet positions across 25 facilities in six countries. Founded in 2019 by Arcus Infrastructure Partners, they have rapidly grown through a series of acquisitions and expansions.

In 2024 they were acquired by EQT and have continued their expansion since.

Our work with Constellation Cold Logistics

Our team have started working with the firm in 2021 when Constellation Cold were hiring the third permanent member of staff, a Corporate Development Manager. Since then, thanks to the excellent service we provided, we have continued to support them as they grow.

We have supported on the recruitment for their:

  • IT Director
  • Director of Operational Excellence
  • Director of Revenue Management

Most recently, we have also recruited two people into their Operational Performance Improvement capability.

For all the roles we have recruited for Constellation Cold we have partnered with them on an exclusive basis.

Supporting the growth of a small business

 

As a small business with no internal recruitment function, Constellation Cold Logistics knew they would struggle to dedicate the time and resource to hire. With a fledgling employer brand, they also recognised that they would struggle to attract top talent through advertising alone. They needed the support of a specialist recruitment agency.

Our recruiters worked closely with the leadership team to ensure they were aware of progress. By keeping in close communication with all parties, we ensured that Constellation Cold have hired a number of excellent candidates.

Working in true partnership


As we have partnered with Constellation Cold on an exclusive basis on every role we have been able to dedicate the required time to conduct a full headhunt search.

As part of this approach we hold weekly check-in calls and this helps ensure that both parties are happy with the progress of the search. It allows us to tailor our search based on live feedback and ultimately results in a quicker hire.

"Constellation first worked with Tarka in 2021, to headhunt our 3rd employee into the central team. We found Tarka to be efficient and helpful, and they quickly found a candidate meeting our needs. When we needed to grow the team further with a new IT director position, we engaged Tarka again and they found us several well qualified candidates matching our needs well within a week. Since the role was less concretely defined, they were also able to provide us options on the level of seniority. We would recommend Tarka without hesitation."
