Hire drivers, warehouse staff, and ops teams — at the speed logistics demands.
Logistics businesses don't have time for slow hiring. A depot needs 15 drivers by Monday, a new warehouse opens in three weeks, peak season is six weeks out. Treegarden gives logistics and transport teams the speed, volume capacity, and multi-location visibility to hire fast and stay ahead of demand — without a dedicated HR department.
Logistics hiring is different
The pressure points every logistics operator knows.
High volume, short lead times, spread across locations, and a candidate pool that won't wait around. Logistics and transport hiring has a specific set of constraints — and most ATS tools were designed for none of them.
A depot needs 15 HGV drivers by the end of the month. The contract was signed on Friday. Your team starts the week with no process, no pipeline, and no shortlist. Every day without drivers is operational cost.
You're hiring for depots in three cities at the same time. Every site manager is doing their own thing. HR has no visibility into who's been hired, who's been ghosted, or which sites are most urgent.
Applications come in from candidates who don't have the right licence class, can't cover the required shift pattern, or are 80 miles from the depot. Without automated filtering, someone has to open every application to find that out.
Good drivers and warehouse operatives have options. If your interview scheduling takes five days of back-and-forth, they've already accepted an offer elsewhere. Speed in logistics hiring isn't a preference — it's a competitive requirement.

From hire to operational
Hired on Friday. Behind the wheel on Monday.
Candidate accepts offer
All data transfers instantly to Treegarden's HR module. No re-entry of information already in the system.
AI generates role-specific onboarding checklist
For a driver: licence verification, tachograph card setup, vehicle assignment, health and safety induction, route briefing. For warehouse: equipment allocation, safety certification, shift assignment. Every task tracked.
Documents collected digitally
Contract, right-to-work documentation, licence copies — all sent for digital collection and tracked in the platform. No lost paperwork, no chasing.
Leave management and HR active from day one
Leave entitlement, absence tracking, and performance management are active the moment the employee record is created. No separate system to configure.
"A driver hired on Friday shouldn't be sitting in an office on Monday filling in paper forms. Treegarden moves their information from offer accepted to employee record automatically, so your team can focus on getting them operational."
Candidate to employee. One platform. No re-entry.
