Blinded Candidate Matching

Our unique blinded review process protects driver data while giving clients the information they need to make informed decisions:

  1. Candidates are matched to your jobs based on licence class, experience, skills, and location.
  2. You review a blinded profile — experience level, licence class, verified skills, general area — without name, photo, or contact details.
  3. When you want to interview a candidate, you accept our terms of business.
  4. Only then is the full candidate profile unlocked, including CV, contact details, and verification history.
