Improve candidate quality with automated pre-screening

Save time by automatically filtering candidates based on experience, qualifications, and soft skills—ensuring only the best make it through.

Candidate Pre-Screening and Application Filtering for Better-Fit Hires

If you’re spending time reviewing unsuitable applicants, your process will always feel slow—and good candidates will be waiting too long. The answer isn’t just “more recruiters.” It’s smarter filtering that ensures only the best-fit people reach interview.

We use candidate pre-screening and application filtering to assess applicants against your requirements: experience, licences, qualifications, shift availability, soft skills and practical fit. This reduces wasted interviews and protects hiring standards at volume.

The result is a cleaner shortlist, faster decision-making, better interview quality, and higher conversion to starts—because hiring teams are focusing on people who are genuinely likely to succeed in the role.

What transport and logistics teams say about working with McRoberts - faster hiring, better-fit candidates, and a more reliable process.
Tristan Davis
Head of Recruitment & Training
First Bus London
'When we started with McRoberts we had a serious driver shortage, with 500 vacancies to fill. It's no overstatement to say that the McRoberts team solved that problem. At our peak we have been hiring 60 new drivers per month - the results have been exceptional. But beyond the results, the level of customer services is beyond anything else I've seen or expected. Joe and the team are always quick to respond, and they always find a solution. As a business we believe that the work by the McRoberts team put us in a much stronger position to sell the business when we were acquired by First Bus. Thank you Joe and team.'

'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 liked that the whole campaign was done using our branding, and they also introduced us to a totally new approach to recruitment, which has changed how we think about our hiring strategy. Thanks Joe and the team!'
