Built for the sector where an expired licence is a liability claim waiting to happen.
Automotive staffing carries a risk most agencies underwrite without realising it: place a technician whose IMI accreditation has lapsed, or a driver whose licence has been endorsed or revoked since their last check, and the liability exposure sits with whoever placed them — not just the individual. The dual-checkpoint model exists precisely to catch what changed between screening and the first day on site.
What makes automotive compliance genuinely different
DVLA licence status, re-verified not assumed
Driving licence category, points and endorsements checked live before placement — not trusted from a check run weeks or months earlier at registration.
IMI & City & Guilds trade accreditation
Technician qualifications and manufacturer-specific certifications verified current, so a placement never rests on a credential that quietly lapsed.
DVSA MOT tester register status
For MOT testers specifically: register status and annual CPD training confirmed live, not assumed from an onboarding-time snapshot.
Insurance & liability exposure
A driver or technician placed on an invalid credential exposes the agency and the client to uninsured liability. Re-verification at placement is what actually closes that gap.
Built for dealership groups, bodyshops and fleets — not just one segment
Automotive staffing spans dealership technicians, MOT testers, bodyshop and paint specialists, parts staff, and commercial drivers — each with a different compliance profile and a different point of failure. SOS Global Recruitment's automotive configuration is built for the agency placing across some or all of these simultaneously: sourcing from your own consented candidate base, screening against role-specific compliance items, and re-verifying live before every placement starts.
The underlying pipeline is identical to every other sector we serve — see the full eight-stage process → — with automotive-specific compliance items configured into the screening and placement-day checkpoints.
