Permanent driver recruitment for Rye employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.
Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.
Driving employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.
Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.
Depots across the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel compete for the same experienced drivers, so a clear offer matters.
Permanent roles across every licence category.
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 Rye goes to someone who can get there every day.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Rye run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Drivers weigh the whole package: pay, hours, holiday, the depot and how often the rota changes. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.
We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.
Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.
A strong permanent driver brief covers:
