What our clients say
“At our peak we have been hiring 60 new drivers per month - the results have been exceptional.”
Tristan Davis
Head of Recruitment & Training

“We are very happy with McRoberts - they helped us hire 3 HGV Drivers within 3 weeks, much faster than we expected. We are impressed with the results because we were looking for very specialised drivers with wide-load and EU experience.”

We advertise. We screen. You hire.
Attract relevant drivers
We create employer-branded adverts and candidate journeys, using search engines, social media and job boards as appropriate to your role and location.
Screen against your requirements
We agree the essential criteria before launch and build them into the application journey, helping reduce time spent on unsuitable applicants.
Move suitable drivers to interview
Suitable candidates can be reviewed in McRoberts or your ATS and progress to interview booking, depending on your agreed setup. Your team makes the hiring decision.
See our driver recruitment campaign videos
Help candidates understand the people, workplace and day-to-day role before they apply. These recruitment videos are one way we bring the job to life; clear, accurate information and screening underpin every campaign.

Holding the right licence is only the start. We make the pay, hours, duties and demands clear so drivers can opt out if the role does not suit them. We then screen applicants against your agreed requirements before they reach your team.
Licence & experience
Relevant licence category, driving history, endorsements, vehicle experience and CPC or specialist qualifications where required.
Location & availability
Depot commute, start times, shifts, nights away, pay expectations and start availability can all form part of the screening.
Role-specific requirements
From multi-drop delivery to passenger transport or specialist haulage, screening reflects the work. DVLA licence verification can be included where agreed.
A different model from traditional driver agencies
McRoberts builds and manages a recruitment campaign for your own workforce. Drivers apply to your business, and there is no placement fee each time you hire. We do not supply temporary agency drivers to cover individual shifts.
This approach is useful when job boards are not producing enough suitable applicants, managers are spending too much time screening, or you need repeat hiring across one or more locations.
Built around your hiring needs
Your campaign is priced around the roles, locations, number of hires and timescale.
Advertising matched to the challenge
We recommend the advertising budget needed to reach suitable candidates in your market.
No placement fees
You pay for the agreed campaign, with no additional fee each time you hire.
From a single vacancy to ongoing or multi-location recruitment, we agree the campaign scope, advertising budget and duration around your hiring goals. See how pricing works.

Frequently asked questions
Do you recruit drivers for permanent roles?
Yes. Our service is designed for employers recruiting drivers into their own workforce, rather than buying short-notice agency cover.
Can you help if we only need one driver?
Yes, where the role, location and hiring requirement suit a recruitment campaign. Tell us the brief and we will explain whether the approach makes sense.
Can you recruit across several depots?
Yes. Campaigns and screening can be organised around each location, including commute and shift requirements. Start with one depot and scale as your needs grow.
How quickly can a campaign launch?
We aim to launch within one week of signing once we have the role information, screening criteria and approvals needed to build the campaign.
Need to recruit drivers?
Tell us the type of driver, location, work pattern and roughly how many people you need. We will come back to you to discuss whether a McRoberts campaign is a sensible fit.
