Why HGV Technicians Should Work with a Specialist Recruiter

Why HGV Technicians Should Work with a Specialist Recruiter

If you’re an experienced HGV technician, your skills are in demand. Fleets, transport companies, and  workshops across the UK are actively looking for qualified techniciansβ€”but that doesn’t always mean they’re  offering the right role for you. 

Many technicians move jobs through word of mouth, online adverts, or agency calls that focus on filling  vacancies rather than finding the right fit. This often leads to roles that don’t meet expectations, poor work-life  balance, or short-lived placements. 

That’s where working with a specialist recruiter like Accord Resourcing makes a real difference.

Not All Recruitment Agencies Are the Same 

General recruitment agencies cover multiple industries and roles. While they may have access to vacancies,  they often lack a real understanding of what it means to work as an HGV technician. 

A specialist recruiter focuses purely on your sector. At Accord Resourcing, HGV and automotive recruitment is  not a side offeringβ€”it’s our core expertise. 

This means we understand: 

β€’ The technical skills your role requires 

β€’ The difference between workshop, fleet, and mobile roles 

β€’ Shift patterns, overtime expectations, and compliance demands 

You’re not just another CVβ€”you’re a skilled professional. 

Access to Better Roles (Not Always Advertised) 

Some of the best HGV technician roles are never advertised publicly. Employers often rely on trusted specialist  recruiters to discreetly find experienced technicians.

By working with Accord Resourcing, you gain access to: 

β€’ Exclusive roles with reputable employers 

β€’ Opportunities matched to your experience and preferences 

β€’ Positions offering better pay, shifts, and progression 

We connect you with employers who value your skills. 

Roles That Match Youβ€”Not Just Availability 

One of the biggest frustrations technicians face is being placed into roles that don’t align with their  expectations. 

At Accord Resourcing, we take time to understand: 

β€’ Your technical strengths 

β€’ Preferred shifts and working patterns 

β€’ Long-term career goals 

β€’ Workshop or fleet environment preferences 

This allows us to match you with roles where you’re more likely to succeed and stay. 

Honest Advice and Market Insight 

Specialist recruiters offer more than job introductionsβ€”they provide insight. We give technicians honest guidance on: 

β€’ Current pay rates and market demand 

β€’ Which employers offer strong working environments 

β€’ Realistic progression opportunities 

Our advice is based on real conversations with employers and technicians every day.

Saving You Time and Hassle 

Job hunting can be time-consumingβ€”especially when you’re already working long hours. Working with Accord Resourcing means: 

β€’ Fewer irrelevant calls 

β€’ No chasing employers for updates 

β€’ Clear communication throughout the process 

We handle the details, so you can focus on your work and your next step.
