Candidates are further sent on a in house driving assessment on our vehicles which is conducted by a senior driver and/or supervisor and documented for submission to our HR Department On clearance of all of the above, the candidate is then selected and placed on a permanent contract of employment.

When drivers reach the end of their 3 month probation period they are scheduled for an external comprehensive assessment that is facilitated and assessed by He & She Driving School. If cleared by the assessor, drivers are then considered permanent employees and their hourly rate increased, if they fail in the above regard they are placed on performance management and are carefully assessed for a reasonable period of time or are considered incapable of performing the job in the event of no improvement.
