Stoa Recruitment answers your Recruitment Agency FAQs for logistics and driving. Below you’ll find clear guidance for candidates and employers, plus links to get started.
Stoa Recruitment was founded after more than a decade of experience in logistics and driving recruitment. We built the agency to raise the standard, prioritising clarity, discipline and long-term results.
Many agencies focus on speed alone. Stoa is a recruitment agency that plays the long game—matching candidates and employers carefully so placements last. We don’t just fill shifts; we build partnerships.
We currently specialise in logistics and driving recruitment, supplying HGV drivers (Class 1 & Class 2), van drivers, FLT drivers and industrial staff. As we grow, we plan to expand into additional sectors and locations.
