Training Program Recruiter

Location: Massillon & Millersburg, Ohio

At Mast Trucking, our Training Program exists to turn the right people into great drivers. Every truck on the road, every customer we serve, and every success story in our program starts with finding the right people. This is a results-driven recruiting role for someone who enjoys connecting with people, solving problems, and making decisions that have a real impact.

The people who thrive in this role are aggressive learners who take ownership instead of making excuses, enjoy solving problems others avoid, and have a competitive edge that drives them to keep improving. Success in this role comes from good judgment. You'll need to know how to read people, ask thoughtful questions, build trust, and adapt your approach based on the person in front of you. If you're motivated by measurable results, continuous growth, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to meet you.
