Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Duns transport managers.
Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.
Employers around Duns recruit permanent drivers, planners and managers for cross-border and Irish Sea operations. Across southern Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Lockerbie and Gretna distribution points on the A74(M). The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.
A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.
Employers hiring permanent drivers across southern Scotland include cross-border hauliers, food and drink manufacturers, textiles and timber supply chains.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Duns goes to someone who can get there every day.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
