You will be based at our main Bridgwater office, but a key part of the role will involve visiting local businesses, speaking with decision-makers and introducing Driver Hire as a trusted recruitment partner.

• Visiting businesses face-to-face
• Building relationships with business owners, transport managers and decision-makers
• Identifying staffing requirements and recruitment opportunities
• Introducing Driver Hire’s services to local employers
• Following up with prospects and maintaining regular contact
• Working closely with the recruitment team to turn opportunities into successful placements
• Helping grow an award-winning local office

• Uncapped bonus structure
• Realistic OTE of £45,000 – £55,000
• Monday to Friday hours
• Company vehicle available during working hours for client visits
• Award-winning local office
• Support from the UK’s largest specialist transport and logistics recruitment company
• Genuine opportunity to make your mark in a growing region

• Experience in sales, business development, account management, recruitment or a client-facing commercial role
• Confidence meeting clients face-to-face
• A consultative, relationship-led approach
• A full, clean UK driving licence
• Ability to drive an automatic vehicle
• Be aged 23 or over due to company vehicle insurance requirements

Driver Hire is the UK’s largest specialist transport and logistics recruitment company. While it is a national brand, it operates as a franchised network, meaning the local office is locally and independently owned.
