Our journey as a dedicated Driving Recruitment agency began 30 years ago and throughout that time we have assisted in excess of 900 transport companies.

This equates to more than 7,000 drivers covering over 876,000 days of work!!!

Over the years, we have developed a deep understanding of the Transport and Logistics sector and its staffing requirements. This enables us to match the most suitable candidate to the positions that we are asked to cover and is the foundation of our successful partnership with many businesses.

We offer recruitment services for both temporary and permanent roles, with specialised staff committed to helping you find a suitably trained, skilled and dependable driver. The support we offer is available around the clock, ensuring that we’re with you every step of the way.

Even with our established success, some businesses remain uncertain about employing a driving recruitment agency to address their staffing shortages. We take a look at and address the most common hesitations below.

 

Driving Recruitment agencies are not cost effective….

Wrong!

Within any company, labour is undoubtedly the largest expense and finding cost effective solutions to workforce requirements underpins any business strategy.

Some of the biggest drains when it comes to labour costs are:-

  • Fixed labour costs when there are fluctuating workloads
  • direct costs associated with your recruitment, such as advertising
  • indirect costs associated with recruitment, for instance, the time taken to vet, interview, appoint and sometimes train new drivers
  • repeated recruitment drives due to new appointments being unsuitable or leaving

QS Recruitment can provide experienced drivers as and when you need them. This means that your labour costs will only rise when the business requires the extra manpower.

We will cover all recruitment expenses, including the costs associated with payrolling workers. Furthermore, if a driver does not meet your expectations, you can easily have them replaced with just one straightforward phone call.

 

I won’t get drivers with the right skills….

Wrong!

We’ve dedicated significant time and resources to develop an efficient in-house database. We ask clients for a job brief detailing the required qualification, experience and skill needed for an assignment.  This is then recorded in the client’s database record. Our bespoke system and industry experienced Consultants ensure that only suitable workers who meet the requested criteria can be assigned to the booking.

All drivers are rigorously interviewed and vetted prior to the offer of any work. These interviews assess their employment background to pinpoint particular driving experiences, such as operating flatbeds, double-deckers, or wagon and drag vehicles. This data is essential for identifying the appropriate skill set for any given assignment. HGV Drivers also undertake knowledge based tests as part of their interview process.

Throughout the years, numerous drivers that we have placed with clients on a temporary basis have then gone on to be offered permanent positions. This is a clear indication of our dedication to identifying and matching the ideal drivers with your business needs.

 

Driving Recruitment agencies will not be as compliant as we are….

Wrong!

As an agency we are subjected to numerous external audits every year, and over recent years we have witnessed significant increases in both their quantity and complexity.

We undertake audits from a variety of establishments, including clients, government departments, financial institutions and industry standard bodies.

We are very proud to say that we pass all our audits with flying colours and are happy to share our audit results, including our annual ISO audit findings, with any client or prospective client!
