• Develop and execute sourcing strategies using job boards, social media, direct sourcing, referrals, community outreach, hiring events, and other creative recruiting channels.

• Proactively source and engage both active and passive driver candidates rather than relying solely on incoming applications.

• Manage candidate pipelines and maintain consistent follow-up throughout the recruiting and onboarding process.

• Track recruiting activity, pipeline movement, conversion, hiring results, and market performance.

• Provide clear weekly updates to Talent Acquisition and Operations leadership regarding candidate pipelines, hiring progress, challenges, and action plans.

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

We're looking for someone who understands that driver recruiting requires more than posting a job and waiting for applications.
