The "Micro-Poll" That Revealed a Macro-Problem

We asked 15 pros a simple question: What is your Export Documentation nightmare?

It wasn't a global census. It was a focus group. And the result was deafening.

47% didn't pick the complex stuff like L/C discrepancies. They didn't pick the bureaucracy of Customs.

They picked "Last-Minute Changes."

Why does this matter? Because it exposes the biggest lie in hiring for this role.

Most Job Descriptions ask for "Attention to Detail." But the data says you actually need "Composure Under Fire."

"Last-Minute Changes" isn't a paperwork problem. It's a psychological one. It’s the 4:59 PM email that destroys the day's work. It’s the client pivoting while the container is already at the gate.

If you hire a perfectionist who craves order, they will break. You need the operator who sees chaos and just sees "Tuesday."

At Tetrus Recruiting, we look past the CV skills. We look for the temperament. We find the people who don't just file the change—they handle it.
