  1. We’ve started using targeted ads on platforms like Facebook and Google. It’s helped us reach potential candidates who may not be actively looking but are open to new opportunities.
  2. We do the same. Offering personalized benefits, such as flexible scheduling and clear paths for promotion, can make a big difference.
  3. Same here. We also pair new hires with a mentor for their first few weeks to help them adjust to our company culture and procedures.
  4. Agreed. If a candidate hesitates to provide references or past employer contact information, that’s usually a red flag for us.
  5. Same here. It’s important to ensure everything is up-to-date and accurate. We also verify employment history to get a complete picture of the candidate.
  6. Same here. We also focus on creating a supportive and flexible work environment, which appeals to both women and men.
  7. Referrals from current drivers have been our most reliable source. We offer a bonus for any referral that leads to a hire who stays for 6 months.
  8. I also like to ask how they handle stressful situations, like traffic delays or breakdowns. It gives insight into how they’ll perform under pressure.
  9. Agreed. Some companies also offer guaranteed weekends off or a rotating schedule to make long hauls more manageable for drivers.
  10. Same here. Offering regular home time and listening to driver concerns about routes and workloads made a big difference in keeping our drivers.
  11. Same here. We also pair new hires with a mentor during their first few weeks to help them adjust and feel supported from the start.
  12. We also emphasize inclusivity in our marketing materials. We’ve found that being open about our commitment to diversity helps attract more candidates from various backgrounds.
  13. I agree. Right now, autonomous tech is mostly about assisting drivers, not replacing them. We’re not seeing any decline in interest from potential recruits.
  14. Same here. We use bonuses, but we also focus on retention strategies to make sure they don’t just take the bonus and leave.
  15. Agreed. Transparency in job descriptions is critical. If they feel like something is being hidden, they’ll move on to the next listing.
  16. Flexibility is our selling point. Larger companies often have rigid schedules, so we market the ability to accommodate personal needs.
  17. We also emphasize work-life balance and career growth opportunities, which resonate more with younger candidates.
  18. Same here. We’ve had to get creative, like offering paid CDL training to new recruits to widen the candidate pool.
  19. Agreed. We also offer referral bonuses to current drivers, which has brought in some high-quality candidates.
