DrivenPeople

DrivenPeople is a UK recruitment platform for drivers, based in Portsmouth. It connects drivers with operators through a mobile app, matching job requirements against tags on driver profiles. It describes itself as driver-owned and says it gives shares to its drivers.

The company serves operators in the transport sector, including HGV, PSV and courier businesses. Operators publish their requirements to a network of drivers and can review, approve or dispute shifts through the portal. The company says it gathers and verifies drivers' licences and documents, and interviews and scores drivers against each operator's criteria. It says its fees are 50% lower than traditional agencies and that it typically pays drivers 15% more than the same role at a traditional driver agency.

The company says its team has over 50 years of collective experience in the transportation industry, and that its management team previously built, scaled and exited one of the largest recruitment firms for the NHS in the UK.
