“At Davis Track Hire, we are always striving to improve our efficiencies, not only in our operations on-site but also in our internal processes, including training. We have always believed in training our own staff and promoting from within, though this approach involves considerable work, time, and expense. When we spotted Insite at a trade show, their knowledgeable staff and competitive pricing caught our attention, prompting us to try their service.
Working under the guidance of the Insite team, we met our driver recruitment targets within very tight timelines. The entire process was exceptionally well-organized, with excellent communication and updates throughout. Not only were the candidates kept informed, but we also had full visibility of our staff’s progress on their training journey.”
