Driver / delivery driver

The hiring challenge

Works alone, with other people's goods and safety rules no one reminds them of on the road. It is hard to observe before hiring how responsible and careful they are when there is no supervision.

What to assess

Accountability, self-control and safety awareness, plus integrity controls given the handling of third-party cargo.

How we build the mix

1 · The weight is on attitude

In this role the central filter is not the cognitive side, but disposition, the way people relate and self-control. The mix is built by prioritizing the role's competencies.

2 · 6 to 8 role competencies

Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.

3 · Technical or DISC

A technical assessment (your own or digitized) verifies they can use the tools of the role. Or, as an alternative, DISC to learn the behavioral profile for the role.
