Yorkshire

Recruiting permanent drivers in Halifax

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Driving employers across Yorkshire include retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

Retention is where permanent driver recruitment pays for itself. A driver who leaves after three months means another search, another induction and another gap on the rota.

Across Yorkshire, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M62/M1 corridor, iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the Aire Valley.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Halifax

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

What Halifax employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Halifax — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Halifax

Indicative permanent salaries in Halifax run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
