Hiring a driver for good in Leicester? We run the search, check the licence and the Driver CPC and send a shortlist worth interviewing.
Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.
Permanent vacancies across Leicestershire come from national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
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.
Drivers living near Magna Park at Lutterworth, the M1/M69 parks and the East Midlands distribution corridor have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
Permanent roles for career drivers at every stage.
Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.
We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Leicester 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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Leicester run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
For Leicester operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.
If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.
