Scotland

Recruiting permanent drivers in Paisley

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

From whisky and food-and-drink to energy logistics, employers around Paisley compete for experienced permanent people across Scotland. Across Scotland, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across Scotland include retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs.

How it works

From brief to start date

The brief

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

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

The offer

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

Your brief

Before we start searching

A driver who feels settled looks after the vehicle, the load and the customer. Settled starts with the right job.

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

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
