About

A specialist commercial search partner for the intralogistics industry.

Evara was built by operators who have spent careers inside commercial functions, not on the outside selling to them. We work one industry deeply, intralogistics, with the networks, the industry knowledge and the long-term relationships that specialist search depends on. The ALIGN hiring method is the codified version of how we have always run the work ourselves.

Rachel Lunn spent 11+ years as Recruitment Lead at Toyota Material Handling, one of the world's largest material handling businesses, where she built and ran hiring processes for senior commercial seats across the UK and Europe. Frustrated by the gap between how recruitment is sold and how it actually works, she founded Evara in 2026 to build a recruitment practice that defines the role properly before the search begins, screens candidates against commercial outcomes, and produces hires that stay. The ALIGN methodology is the codified version of how she has always run a search.
