Job description

About Us
As a company, we promote a culture of honesty and integrity, and value the trust it allows us to build with customers and employees alike. Our focus on our people is what sets us apart and keeps our customers coming back to work with us!
If you are seeking to be a part of a family, this is the place for you!
Performance Team handles end-to-end warehousing and distribution logistics needs utilizing our strategic network of storage facilities. Our facilities are capable of receiving, storing, processing and dispatching cargo, so we can build flexibility and resilience into the supply chain process. Our integrated solutions allow us to be prepared for supply chain risks, so we can plan distribution to better achieve lead time and goals despite unexpected conditions. Our extensive experience, connections, and deep expertise across different sectors, industries, and transportation modes, means we can be counted on for process excellence that will save time and money.
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.

Company Benefits
  • Medical
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • 401k + Company Match
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Paid Time Off
  • Flexible Work Schedules (when possible)
  • And more!

Pay Range
$35-$40 per hour*
*The above stated pay range is the anticipated starting salary range for the position. The Company may adjust this range in light of prevailing market conditions and other factors such as location. The Company will work directly with the selected candidate(s) on the final starting salary in accordance with all applicable laws.
You must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S.
