Driving Appointments: Recruitment by Those Who Know the Job03/2018

There is a reason why cybersecurity companies employ former hackers to keep them ahead of the game: they know the job from the other side because they’ve been there and done that. It is the same idea behind the business model followed by Driving Appointments; many of their driver recruitment consultants are former drivers themselves. They know what it takes because they’ve done the long and lonely miles. They may have switched from being behind the wheel to behind a desk but they still recognise the qualities needed to ensure goods get delivered from Point A to Point B on time every time.

It is widely recognised that Driving Appointments has grown, since first opening its doors in 2011, to be one of the leading independent recruitment hubs for drivers and logistics staff in London and across the South East of England. They already boast offices in Croydon, Wimbledon, Chertsey and Chessington; adding to that number will be new offices opening in Leatherhead in spring this year and London W10 in the summer.

Driving Appointments offers permanent and long/short term contract opportunities for the following:

• HGV/LGV Drivers
• Van Drivers
• Car Drivers
• Transport Managers
• Logistics Planners
• FLT Drivers
• Warehouse Staff

Anyone who has had dealings with Driving Appointments will tell you they are professionals who will always deliver what they promise. Being independent they are answerable to no one but their customers. Whether that is clients or candidates they will always be treated with honesty and transparency.

Candidates appreciate the fact that they are dealing with a consultant who knows what they are talking about. As mentioned earlier, many of the consultants are former drivers themselves or they have many years in logistics recruitment. It makes a real difference! The candidates also appreciate the difference in their pay packets and the benefits like paid holidays and the opportunity to work fulltime for a salary.

Clients appreciate the availability of their staff supplier. Driving Appointments is available at any time day or night throughout the year. Wagons don’t roll only between 9-5 so neither do they. The candidates they introduce to the client will have been thoroughly vetted and all backgrounds and papers will have been checked; if you require photo IDs and CRB checks that’s no problem. If you have taken someone on temporarily and would like to keep them on a permanent basis, that’s no problem either.

Check out the new Driving Appointments website for all the benefits they offer to both clients and candidates, you might be surprised just how different they are to your current recruitment consultancy. It’s time you tried a different route.
