- Recruiting, screening, interviewing, and onboarding driving candidates
- Verifying licences, CPC qualifications, digital tachograph cards, and conducting compliance checks
- Managing driver availability, shift bookings, and rota planning
- Accurately processing payroll data and validating driver hours
- Handling driver queries, absences, holiday requests, and shift changes
- Ensuring compliance with transport legislation, client requirements, and recruitment best practice
- Building and maintaining strong relationships with both clients and drivers
- Proactively addressing staffing challenges and sourcing solutions to meet operational demands
- Supporting out-of-hours requirements when necessary to ensure service continuity

- Performance management and service delivery
- Problem-solving and operational decision-making
We actively encourage career progression and offer clear development pathways for those looking to advance their careers within recruitment and account management.
What We Need From You
We're committed to helping you succeed, but to thrive in this role you'll need:
- The ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and solve problems effectively
- A customer-focused approach with a genuine passion for people
- Experience within recruitment, transport, logistics, driving operations, or a customer service environment (preferred but not essential)
- Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
