Aiden Van niekerk
@aidenvanniekerk
Driver recruitment and operations professional specializing in onboarding, compliance, and data-driven reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dependable recruitment and operations professional with experience in driver recruitment, candidate sourcing, onboarding, and documentation verification. I’m known for staying organized in fast-paced environments while keeping operational standards and compliance tight.
From 2020 to present at Takealot.com, I’ve managed high-volume recruitment and structured onboarding for delivery drivers. I screen applications and licences, coordinate candidate pipelines through ATS systems like Kofax and Greenhouse, maintain accurate recruitment records, and generate regular data reporting for operations tracking.
Before that, as a Safety Officer from 2016 to 2020 at Rush Trampoline Park, I monitored occupational safety compliance and standard operational procedures. I responded to on-site incidents, conducted basic investigations, and supported corrective actions, while running staff safety briefings, operational risk assessments, and daily facility inspections.
I also bring strong customer service and administration experience from a casual Sales Assistant role, where I resolved product queries, supported sales targets, and maintained visual merchandising standards. I bring analytical thinking, clear communication, and bilingual fluency in English and Afrikaans to help teams achieve business goals.
