CDL Recruiting Specialist

The Role

CT needs a second CDL Recruiting Specialist to work alongside our Recruiter and double the hiring pace. The current pipeline generates 6 to 7 hires per two-week period with one recruiter. With two recruiters working the same pipeline through HireMaster.ai, that target grows to 13 or more per period. Every driver hired fills a truck that is already staged and waiting, against customers who already have work assigned. The urgency is real and the impact is immediate.

This is not a corporate recruiting role. It is a high-volume, relationship-driven, CDL-specific recruiting position. The right person knows how CDL drivers think, where they look for work, and how to keep them engaged from first contact through first load.
