Future proof your recruitment strategy

Don’t get left behind: Digitalise your Driver Recruitment

In the fast-paced taxi mobility industry, recruitment processes are constantly evolving and so should your fleet. Traditional recruitment methods, which often involve face-to-face interviews, office visits and paperwork are becoming outdated. To stay competitive and attract the next generation of drivers, it’s time to embrace the future of driver recruitment.

Why go digital?‍

Over 90% of applicants now begin their job search online, making it clear that the future of recruitment lies in digital processes. By moving your driver recruitment online you can streamline operations, reduce administrative overheads and most importantly tap into a broader pool of qualified drivers.

Here’s six reasons why fleets should adopt online driver recruitment today:

1. Convenience and flexibility: With Driver Recruitment, prospective drivers can apply from anywhere with no need to visit your office. They simply fill out an online form via a weblink or QR code. This flexibility allows drivers to apply when it’s convenient for them, whether it's early morning or late at night.
2. Streamline your hiring process: Using 365 Management, you can review applications quickly, accept or reject drivers and even allow reapplications for partially rejected applications. By incorporating Driver Recruitment everything is digital, saving you time and eliminating the need for physical paperwork. If accepted, a driver’s details are automatically turned into a driver record and allowing them to start work immediately. If rejected, you can provide feedback or in the case of partial rejections, allow them to resubmit with the necessary changes.
3. Easy to set up and manage: The recruitment process is customisable to fit your fleet’s needs. The welcome page for prospective drivers can be configured with your company’s name, logo and other key information. The process is simple and intuitive guiding drivers through personal details, vehicle information and required documents. Each section is clearly marked, showing progress and so both the driver and your fleet are kept up to date.
4. Access to a larger pool of drivers: Online recruitment isn’t just convenient for your fleet, it’s also convenient for drivers. You can attract drivers from a larger demographic and a wider geographic area. The next generation of drivers will be more accessible through digital recruitment channels as they are accustomed to this method, due to ride-hailing giants setting the standard. By providing an online application portal, you can cast a wider net and engage with the next generation of drivers in ways traditional methods can't match.
5. Secure and efficient document submission: A key part of the recruitment process is submitting necessary documentation. With the online portal, drivers can upload images of their documents. Whether it’s their license or proof of identity, all documents are securely stored and easily accessible. No more chasing down missing paperwork or worrying about lost files!
6. Stay ahead of the competition: With ride-hailing giants leading the way and more fleets shifting to digital recruitment, it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve. Offering a seamless online application process gives you a competitive edge, allowing you to hire from a larger pool of drivers. It also serves as an attractive selling point for drivers who value convenience and a tech-savvy employer.
