HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Knaresborough

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Knaresborough, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

Yorkshire

Permanent drivers for Knaresborough operators

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Much of the permanent driving work across Yorkshire starts at the M62 corridor parks and the iPort rail terminal at Doncaster. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

If Knaresborough is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Hiring across Yorkshire is shaped by the M62, M1 and A1(M), Leeds Bradford and Doncaster Sheffield airports and the Humber ports at Hull and Immingham: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Why Knaresborough operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Permanent and temporary

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

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:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
