HGV, van and driver agencies

Recruitment software for HGV and driver agencies

Nights, weekends and short-notice shifts get filled by the agency that reaches the right drivers first. MatrixRec puts every available Class 1 within reach of the depot one text away, and keeps the rest of your drivers warm with a daily call list.

The problem

Shifts are won by whoever texts the right drivers first

A client needs three Class 1 nights from tonight

You are scrolling a spreadsheet for who is Class 1, who does nights, who is near the depot and who has not already been booked. Twenty minutes later the shift has gone elsewhere.

Licence, CPC and Right to Work expiry on a sticky note

A driver’s CPC lapsed and the client’s transport manager caught it before you did. The share code you checked in January is nowhere to be found.

Drivers you have not spoken to in months are driving for someone else

Nobody rang them, so they drifted. Rebuilding the pool costs more than keeping it warm.

How MatrixRec handles it

Reach the right drivers first, keep the rest warm

Search and text

Every available Class 1 within twenty miles of the depot, texted in ten seconds

Tag drivers by licence category and endorsement, filter by availability and radius from the depot postcode, and send one bulk SMS from your own sender name. Opt-outs and duplicates are handled for you.

  • Tag drivers with licence categories, ADR, HIAB, CPC and more
  • Radius search from the depot or the client site
  • Bulk SMS with automatic STOP handling and a daily cap
Compliance

Licence, CPC and Right to Work documents uploaded from the cab

Send a driver a secure link and they photograph their passport or BRP, add their share code and upload licence and CPC card photos with expiry dates. Approve in the review queue. Expiring documents are flagged before a transport manager asks.

  • Passport or BRP, share code, licence and CPC as documents with expiry
  • Review queue with approve and reject-with-a-note
  • Right to Work report showing verified, expiring, expired and missing
Morning call list

Drivers you have not spoken to recently, at the top of your list every morning

MatrixRec ranks your daily calls: promised call-backs, drivers finishing a contract this week, and anyone going quiet. Ten minutes a day keeps a pool of three hundred drivers warm.

  • Tap to dial, log the outcome in one tap
  • Ongoing contracts sit on a weekly plan per client
  • Managers see calls made per consultant

Less than the margin on one week of nights

Starter is £49 a month for up to 3 consultants. Growth is £149 for up to 10. Priced per agency, not per seat, with a 14-day free trial.

Questions

Driver agencies ask us

Can I tag drivers by licence category and endorsements?

Yes. Drivers are tagged with the licence categories and endorsements they hold, such as C+E, C, C1, ADR, HIAB and Driver CPC, and you filter your searches on them. We can add any category you need to the list.

Does it do DVLA licence checks?

Not automatically. MatrixRec stores the licence and CPC card photos with expiry dates and flags them when they are due, so you know when to run your DVLA check. It does not connect to the DVLA.

Can I run ongoing contracts, not just one-off shifts?

Yes. An ongoing placement sits on the weekly plan for that client, and you approve and export each week for payroll and invoicing. Ad hoc shifts are placements with a single-day start and end.

How do drivers reply to a shift text?

They reply to your sender number and you see the responses on your SMS account. If a driver replies STOP they are automatically excluded from future campaigns.
