Private Driver

Every business executive eventually realises that life goes by too quickly and time is literally worth its weight in gold – is it really worth it to waste time by sitting in city traffic?

Unsurprisingly this time can be spent solving business-related problems or personal matters and it is one of the reasons most successful people are looking for a reliable personal driver.

Hire a Private Driver

Today, when almost the entire city centre has turned into a “No Stopping” sign and there is a high risk of your car being evacuated, a business executive cannot bypass the help of a personal driver who is ready to easily get an executive to his desired destination at any time. A driver will take care of parking issues, wait in an authorised place and carry out personal errands while an executive is in a meeting.

Let’s look at the candidate requirements in terms of both professional and personal qualities.

• Punctuality: a personal driver needs to deliver the car to the right place at the exact time. If an employee is late, he will not be able to keep his job, regardless of his extensive experience.
• A private driver must always keep the car in pristine condition, refuel it on time, monitor car serviceability and car climate. He is also responsible for the timely vehicle maintenance, handing it over to a service centre and arranging pick up.
• A candidate must have an excellent understanding of the geography of the city and the region, he must know almost every street and not rely on the navigator aid. Not only does he need to be a careful driver, he must also have the ability to get out of city traffic jams, and have excellent city knowledge. In addition to driving skills, a personal driver must have rational route planning and time calculation skills, his profession exists to save time, which high status clients never have enough of.
• A personal driver candidate must be a tactful, decent, reserved person, and, if possible, as quiet as possible. He will unwittingly become a witness to internal life of an employer, which is of course confidential. Maintaining confidentiality of employer meetings and respectful approach to assigned tasks is mandatory.
• A private chauffeur must observe business etiquette, remember the chain of command, follow the rules of behaviour, have an appropriate appearance and be able to provide comfortable driving. Like any trusted position, a personal driver is a representative of an executive or UHNWI and an unkempt appearance can negatively affect employer's image. Typical appearance requirements are clean hands and nails, neat hair, absence of bad habits and neat clothing. Some employers may require a driver to wear a uniform or a certain style of clothing (dress code). If there are no special requirements, the clothes should be neat and ironed and shoes should be clean. It is worth noting that many people can be irritated by the smell of perfume and use of suffocating aromas should be avoided or minimised, the use of even neutral perfumes should be kept to a minimum. Cleanliness and use of antiperspirants is a mandatory requirement for a personal or family driver.
• Employers are also quite categorical about candidate's age: a candidate for the position of a personal driver should be aged 25 to 52. This is due to the fact that only stress-resistant people with good health and strong character are suitable for personal driver work.
• Staff behaviour is a very important factor that should never be underestimated. Inappropriate behaviour can outweigh experience and excellent performance and result in employment termination. If an employer prefers to discuss various topics while being driven around the city, one should not forget that one’s own opinion is fine, but the boss is always right. A tolerant attitude towards controversial issues and sensitive topics will help one avoid unnecessary discussions. If an employer wishes to choose his own route, a driver should not try to prove him otherwise; perhaps there are reasons an employer simply does not wish to explain.

In addition to professional qualities, a private driver must have the following qualities: he must comply with corporate ethics, he must not disclose confidential information, be reliable and quiet, be able to remain inconspicuous and not irritate the boss.

It is of the utmost importance that the boss and his driver get along in character, since it is difficult to be next to a person whom one finds unpleasant.

Family Chauffeur

Don’t have time to sort through a huge number of resumes and check every candidate? Entrust the selection of a family chauffeur to the Very Important Personnel agency.

We will do due diligence, check criminal records, collect references from previous places of work and offer you only those candidates who have passed the screening and are polite and have high cultural qualities. You will not have to worry about your loved ones.

Hire a Family Chauffeur

A family chauffeur works mainly with a spouse and children. He will drive children to school, kindergarten and back, to clubs and sports clubs and to a concert. He will drive a spouse to a store, to a meeting or to personal visits.

It is therefore important for the agency that selected candidates have similar past experience. Not every personal driver who is accustomed to working as a driver in a motorcade will be able to work in a calmer mode, observe the speed limit, get along with children and observe business etiquette when working with a woman.

When both spouses work and children have busy schedules, there is a need for a separate driver for children. A child’s driver will take children to school and a baby with nanny to kindergarten, drive them to sports clubs or clubs, to a park for a walk or make sure no one is late for a theatre or circus performance.

When selecting a child's driver, the safety of children, caution on the road, absence of health problems, attentiveness, flexibility and stress resistance are at the forefront.
