About the Role
We're looking for a driven and resourceful Contract Driver Recruiter to help power our transportation workforce across the U.S. and Canada. In this role, you'll take full ownership of the recruiting lifecycle: sourcing, hiring, and onboarding top CDL and non-CDL company drivers-while also playing a key role in converting temporary drivers into long-term team members. If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-impact environment and enjoy connecting great talent with meaningful opportunities, this role is for you.
Role Expectations
- Own the full recruitment lifecycle - from sourcing and screening to offer, onboarding, and early retention support
- Recruit CDL & Non-CDL company drivers for tractor and straight truck operations across multiple markets
- Drive conversion of temporary drivers into permanent company drivers across the U.S. and Canada
- Proactively source candidates through job boards, social media, referrals, and targeted recruiting campaigns
- Conduct interviews and assessments to evaluate experience, qualifications, and cultural fit
- Ensure compliance with DOT, FMCSA, and company hiring standards, including background checks, MVRs, and drug screenings
- Maintain accurate records and administrative processing of all DQ files
- Clearly communicate job expectations, compensation, schedules, and benefits to candidates
- Partner closely with operations, HR, and workforce teams to meet hiring goals and staffing needs
- Track and manage candidates using ATS systems (e.g., Tenstreet)
- Support new hire engagement and retention efforts by maintaining communication through onboarding
- Position is full-time on site
What You Bring
- Experience recruiting CDL and non-CDL drivers in a high-volume environment
- Strong understanding of transportation and trucking regulations (DOT/FMCSA)
- Proven ability to manage end-to-end recruiting processes independently
- Skilled at building pipelines in competitive markets
- Experience with ATS platforms, ideally Tenstreet
- Excellent communication, organization, and multitasking skills
- A proactive, results-driven mindset with a focus on speed, quality, and retention
Why This Role Stands Out
- End-to-end ownership - you're not just sourcing, you're driving the full hiring journey
- Regional impact - directly support driver hiring across both the U.S. and Canada
- Strategic influence - play a key role in improving driver retention through conversion and engagement
- Fast-paced, high-visibility work that directly impacts operations success
Experience
- 2+ years of experience in driver recruiting
- Background in logistics, trucking, or delivery industries required
- Experience managing compliance-heavy hiring processes
- Bi-lingual Spanish preferred
- Proven success in using creative sourcing techniques to produce diverse, quality, potential candidate pools.
- Strong engagement and stakeholder partnership skills and the ability to understand and deliver to recruitment needs.
