Hiring guides

Two, for the two trades this board is about. There is no third one for a sector we do not cover, because a guide written by somebody who has not been near the work reads exactly like one.

Hiring a Class 1 or Class 2 driver

What the licence and the cards actually are, the three checks that are yours to do rather than ours, and the reason most driving adverts fail, which is almost never the pay.

The four things a driver has to hold, and what each one is  ·  The three checks that are the employer's, not the agency's  ·  The question that decides whether your advert works  ·  New passes, and the thing that is actually blocking them  ·  The hours rules you are agreeing to manage  ·  What we will not pretend

Hiring warehouse and forklift staff

Why there is no such thing as a forklift licence, which duty stays with you whatever the candidate holds, and the four things an advert has to answer before anybody applies.

There is no such thing as a forklift licence  ·  The duty does not transfer with the card  ·  The four things the advert has to answer  ·  Cold, and what the law actually says about it  ·  Targets, and the one that becomes your problem  ·  What we will not pretend

There are no statistics at the top of either one

The format is borrowed from a guide we read that opens with a row of figures and a line saying every one of them comes from recent market research. Two of them carried a named source. The rest borrowed their credibility from those two. So the structure is here and the row of figures is not. Every rule below has a name and a number you can check without asking us, and where the honest answer is that it depends, it says so.
