In order to have a successful private hire business, you need to master your onboarding process. Onboarding is a term used to describe the journey a new driver takes when they are integrating into your company.
When you onboard your taxi drivers in the right way, you will see an increase in productivity, retention and morale!
So, how do you achieve this? It’s important to have a simple onboarding process, if there are too many steps, you will notice that your applicants start to drop off and look to work for competitors.
3 steps to simplify your onboarding process
- Allow online applications – In today’s fast paced environment, it is recommended to offer online job applications, failing to do so could mean you’re missing out on hiring the best candidates. Online applications also facilitate the quick review of candidate information as soon as it comes in, speeding up the initial stages in the process.
- Digitise document retrieval – Once you’ve chosen the drivers you’re taking through to the next stage of the hiring process, it is a good idea to do background checks. Digitising document retrieval helps efficiently manage this step.
- Provide a clear training process – Although a good training process should be more than just reading through documents and policies, it is very important that new hires are carefully reading the important documents about your business.
