how we run

Three things we hold the line on

Driver and transport recruitment in a small region only works if you actually know the operators, the routes and the licensing landscape. Our principles reflect that.

Local-first matching

We work with operators across Forres, Moray and the Highlands as our primary market, and we know which firms run which kind of work. That context shapes every shortlist.

One consultant per client

The recruiter who takes your brief is the recruiter who runs the search and the close. No internal handoffs, no relays.

Properly checked licences

Private-hire badges, PCV/CPC, current DBS where relevant - confirmed before a CV reaches you. The shortlist is small because the screen is real.

Where Spot On fits

Driver recruitment in a region like Moray and the Highlands is not a national-database problem. The operator that needs a private-hire driver in Forres is solving a different problem to the coach firm in Inverness, and both need a recruiter who actually knows the local market and the licensing detail.

That is what Spot On was built for. We came out of the local taxi sector and we know the operators, the routes and the seasonality of the Highland tourism market. We run permanent searches for licensed drivers, controllers, mechanics and trainers across Moray and the Highlands, and we run them the same careful way every time.

We focus on permanent placements because that is where operators get the real benefit. Holiday cover and short-term hire is a different game, and we are not the right fit for it.
