What our candidates say
“I have worked with the Driver Hire team in Exeter for a number of years, as a van driver up to 7.5t. They have always been very helpful in finding me work that fits in with my personal life, and I would recommend anyone who is looking for driving work to go and have a chat with them.”
G Short

“Upon moving down to Devon from West Yorkshire, I signed up to a recruitment agency named Driver Hire. I’ve never had experience of working under an agency so was a little apprehensive to do so, however… I was made to feel extremely welcome by all the staff there and found each and every one a real pleasure to work with, almost felt like a family environment!
From day one the team were at the top of their game in making sure I was out in employment, and a fine job they’ve been doing in regards to that, I’ve not had a day since I joined the team where I’ve not had a day’s work, the experience of working with the girls has surpassed all my expectations I had once joining, and I’m now on the verge of a contract into full-time employment!
Couldn’t thank the staff at Driver Hire enough for the commitment and support they’ve given me throughout this relationship and would highly recommend them as a suitable agency for anyone of any age searching for any line of work! All in all 10/10 for the girls, it’s been a very enjoyable experience”
