The Transport Department said today that a job fair for the recruitment of taxi fleet drivers will be held on Wednesday at the Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices.

The fair is being jointly organised by the Labour Department and three taxi fleet operators. It will aim to enhance job seekers’ understanding of taxi fleets and give fleet operators a chance to meet their recruitment needs. 

Job seekers will be able to submit job applications on-site and may be invited to on-the-spot interviews.

The fair will be held from 2.30pm to 5pm at the Kowloon West Job Centre in Sham Shui Po and admission is free.

According to the operators, they will offer various incentives to fleet drivers, including a referral bonus for new drivers and safe driving bonuses. They will also provide flexible working hour arrangements.

The operators will offer pre-service training to enhance drivers’ customer service skills. Passengers will be able to schedule trip using online hailing platforms, thereby increasing drivers’ potential income.

In addition, operators will implement systematic management to support drivers in handling customer enquiries and feedback, creating a better working environment.

The department is setting up designated fleet taxi stopping places at the airport, certain boundary control points to provide convenience for fleet drivers in picking up passengers on pre-booked trips.
