How to Hire Drivers

HOW TO HIRE DRIVERS

1. Try to eliminate urgency – have a contingency plan in case someone leaves. Is it possible to move a part time operator to full time? Even a temporary solution is better than no solution.




2. Accept applications and actively recruit candidates – don’t just do one or the other




3. Conduct an interview for fit, not just for skills




4. Present candidates with scenarios and ask them how they would resolve them. Use images or video if you can.




5. Always check references, employment history and driving record.




6. If a candidate does not get the position, be sure to let them know. DO NOT do so until the desired candidate has accepted the position.
