Taxifast has a recruitment service for taxi drivers from Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
This recruiting service is linked into the Taxifast European Training schools in Wroclaw, Poland
and Prague in the Czech Republic. From 31/12/06 Romania and Bulgaria citizens will be entitled by the European
Treaty to enter the UK to become taxi drivers.
Taxifast have its own staff in Poland and the Czech Republic who train driver candidates for the UK.
All European drivers have held a full driving licence for a minimum of 2 years. Taxifast does not
recruit European drivers with any convictions for driving offences. All European candidates
undergo a country of origin Criminal Record Check as a matter of course. Taxifast does not train or
supply any European driver that has any blemish on their Criminal history.
European drivers are trained on the continent in the knowledge of the city or town they intend to work
in the UK. They must also be able to speak communicable English along with being able to write in
English. Most if not all of our European recruits have been educated to a high standard with many
holding academic degrees.
The UK is attractive to recruits from Europe because of the high earning potential. None of the candidates
supplied can be described as work shy. Their culture makes them good recruits as they excel in the workplace
and are committed to the taxi company they join.
As the European standard of driving is well below that of the UK the main area of training for English
taxi businesses to focus on is to improve their driving ability. Taxifast recruits have become long
term successful professional drivers because of the initial time spent on grooming the recruits driving
skills. If this criteria is followed the recruiting taxi company will be well pleased with their investment.
Taxifast can arrange a visit for you to the European Training School in Prague where you can meet
trainees and teaching staff in a working environment.
