If you're a driver looking to maximise your job requests on the Road Ninja platform, there are some key things you can do to improve your driver profile.
This article dives in to our top five tips to help you stand out and get noticed by hiring companies 👌
Highlight Your Skills, Experience and Hourly Rate
When creating your driver profile, be sure to accurately assess your skill level and set your hourly rate competitively. Overpromising and underdelivering can lead to disappointment for hiring companies, so be honest about your abilities and experience. Highlight the driving services you can offer and the payment you expect in return.
Keep Your Availability Up to Date
It's important to let hiring companies know when you're available to work by keeping your availability updated in the Road Ninja app. Opportunities come and go quickly and require quick responsiveness, so stay accessible to maximize your chances of success.
We recommend checking your availability once a week or if your situation changes to ensure it is accurate.
Select All the Regions You Can Work or Relocate to
Consider the locations you can work or relocate to as you create your driver profile or if your situation changes.
Whether you're looking for a job close to home or open to relocating for better opportunities, there are many options to choose from on the Road Ninja platform.
Remember, proximity is important, but don't be afraid to expand your horizons. Hiring companies may be open to drivers from other regions if there are no drivers available locally.
Get Road Ninja Verified
Earn a badge and status displayed on your driver profile to help you stand out from the competition and make it easier for hiring companies to evaluate your credentials. To become Road Ninja verified, simply add 1-3 former employers as references.
When your referees have shared their feedback through a short survey, and once your background checks are completed and passed, you'll get your Road Ninja verified badge and status displayed on your driver profile.
Road Ninja performs the following background checks in addition to obtaining your reference survey feedback:
A licence check with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency
A criminal convictions check with the Ministry of Justice
Upload a Video Profile
Boost your chances of receiving job requests by 60% by showing hiring companies the real you by adding an optional 30-second video.
By adding a video, you can create an instant personal connection with hiring companies and make a great first impression. A 30-second video profile also allows you to showcase your personality, communication skills, and relevant experience, which can help you stand out from other applicants.
