In the midst of a new regulatory environment and fierce competition for drivers, recruiters must look for new ways to find, attract, and retain more qualified candidates – all while focused on maintaining compliance and safety. Women make up over 50% of the entire US workforce, but they only account for 8% of professional drivers. This highlights an amazing opportunity for CDL driver recruiters to fill the gaps in recruiting and focus on an untapped audience of qualified, skilled applicants. In this session, we will take a detailed look at why recruiting managers should start training recruiters in sales techniques and processes, and how this sales mentality can help hire and retain more qualified drivers – regardless of gender.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Implement industry changes that have made a sales-driven recruiting mentality a necessity
  • Adopt traditional sales processes in your recruiting workflows
  • Foster relationships with women drivers and address specific pain points in the conversation
  • Build and maintain a sales-focused recruiting team that maintains compliance and regulatory standards
