About us
Welcome to Scotia Recruitment, a company founded by HGV drivers; and built upon purpose, dedication and the desire to bring about positive change in the world of work.
At Scotia Recruitment, we’re not just another company – we’re founded by HGV drivers and logistics specialists. It’s this distinctive blend that empowered us to draw from our first-hand collective expertise in maritime, logistics and haulage, to offer something new to workers and employers.
Why does this matter? Because we truly grasp what drives those who keep Scotland moving – our valued drivers. And for the companies we team up with, it also means something extra special: we have a deep understanding of the challenges you face, because we’ve walked that road too.
Our Vision
Our vision was for a better recruitment agency. We created Scotia Recruitment because we’ve been the employee and the employer. Born from mutual experience, where we shared an ideal for caring about the welfare and needs of our workers. So, we made a simple promise: to build a better recruitment agency that focused on well-being and fulfilling the needs of our workers.
Our Values
Scotia Recruitment is driven by a sincere commitment to provide a real and progressive relationship between employers and employees. We’re designed on the founding principles of respect and mutual support.
We believed that jobs were more than just money; workers should feel valued, heard and respected. We set out to build an environment where access to better pay was standard, then we built a support network that resonated with our own needs as drivers and operatives: providing more choice, greater opportunities and enhanced flexibility.
