C9 Recruitment guarantees to beat like-for-like quotes

C9 Recruitment is guaranteeing to beat any like-for-like quotation, while ensuring full legal and compliance transparency.

The bus and coach industry staffing partner says it is making a stand in what it says is an industry exposed to risk through non-compliant pay models, raising the bar for recruitment standards across the transport sector.

“We’ll beat any like-for-like quote*, and we’ll back it up with total transparency” – Sam Wharfe, CEO

“Our commitment is simple,” says Sam Wharfe, CEO. “We’ll beat any like-for-like quote*, and we’ll back it up with total transparency. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just honest, compliant, cost-effective staffing solutions.”

As part of this initiative, C9 says it will also offer a full breakdown of an operator’s current staffing rates, using industry-standard calculations, to clearly show how existing supplier costs compare. The company says this provides operators with a rare level of visibility, something it says is often missing in the recruitment space.

C9 Recruitment says its approach comes in response to increasing concerns raised across the industry around the use of:

• Freelance limited company drivers, potentially breaching IR35 legislation and attracting HMRC enforcement;

• Flat day rates, which can fall below National Minimum Wage thresholds when considering waiting times, vehicle checks, and delays;

• Non-compliant payment models, which may expose operators to prosecution and threaten their O Licence All quotations submitted to C9 will undergo a rigorous compliance check. If the quote received fails to meet legal or regulatory standards, C9 will provide a comprehensive evaluation, identifying any risk areas in detail.

“We’re here to protect operators, not just undercut the competition,” Sam continued. “Compliance isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s essential to keeping your business running and your O-Licence intact.”
