Driver Recruiter

About the role

As a Driver Recruiter, you'll own the full recruitment cycle for CDL drivers — from sourcing and screening through onboarding. You'll be the first point of contact for drivers considering a career with Charger, and often the relationship they trust most throughout their time with us. This is a high-volume, fast-paced role for someone who thrives on connecting with people and closing out hires.

• Conduct interviews to assess fit, experience, and driver expectations
• Coordinate drug screens, background checks, and road tests with compliance/safety teams
• Guide candidates through onboarding — offer details, pay structure, dispatch handoff, and start-date logistics
• Build lasting relationships with drivers post-hire to support retention and address early concerns
• Track requisition pipelines and hiring metrics across multiple open roles simultaneously
• Monitor competitor postings and market pay rates (e.g., NFI, Central Transport, Comprehensive Logistics, Centerline Drivers) to stay competitive in sourcing
