Home based with travel 

If you’re a recruiter who enjoys being out in the operation, building relationships, and seeing the impact of your work first hand, this role will suit you perfectly. I’m supporting a long established organisation in the logistics sector as they look to appoint a Recruitment Advisor to take ownership of hiring delivery drivers across a cluster of depots.

This is a genuinely varied, hands on position. You’ll be sourcing talent, managing compliance, interviewing candidates face to face, and even carrying out short driving assessments to ensure the business brings in safe, reliable, customer focused drivers. Alongside this, you’ll also support wider recruitment needs across the organisation when required.

Your key responsibilities

• Owning the full recruitment cycle for delivery driver roles across multiple depot locations

• Writing and posting engaging adverts across job boards, social platforms, and other channels

• Screening applications and conducting telephone interviews to assess experience, attitude, right to work status, and licence validity

• Coordinating interview schedules and driving assessments

• Conducting in person interviews at depots and completing short driving assessments in company vehicles

• Managing all compliance checks, including licences, RTW documentation, and internal standards

• Keeping accurate, GDPR compliant records within the ATS

• Working closely with HR and Logistics teams to support smooth onboarding and induction

• Contributing to driver retention activity, monitoring early attrition, and following up with leavers

• Supporting recruitment for non depot roles when needed

• Preparing recruitment updates and reports for management

What you’ll bring

• Recruitment experience (transport/logistics/warehousing helpful but not essential)

• Understanding of driver compliance requirements (DVLA checks, RTW checks, etc.)

• Strong organisational and administrative skills

• Confident communicator with excellent interpersonal skills

• Knowledge of UK employment law and driver specific regulations

• Comfortable using MS Office and recruitment systems (ATS/HRIS)

• Ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast paced environment

• High attention to detail and a strong commitment to compliance

• A proactive, solutions focused mindset and a genuine interest in driver welfare

Working style

• Home based with regular weekly travel to depots

• Standard business hours with flexibility during peak recruitment periods
