Common Recruitment Mistakes
Recruitment Consulting Services FAQs
Recruitment of CDL drivers involves reaching out to potential candidates through various platforms like job boards (Indeed, Glassdoor), social media (LinkedIn), driver-focused job sites like trucking job boards, and trucking schools. In your job posting, highlight what makes your company stand out, such as competitive pay, benefits, or a supportive company culture. Also, consider implementing a referral program, as current drivers might know others who could be a good fit and are ready to find a job.
Multiple platforms can be useful for job postings. Broad platforms like Indeed, LinkedIn, or Glassdoor are standard, and there are many other industry specific options employers can consider. The IRONWOOD recruiting team has extensive experience in CDL driver recruitment in particular and works with our DOT department to find the best possible candidates for our clients.
You can use salary comparison tools or websites such as PayScale, Glassdoor, or the Bureau of Labor Statistics to determine the average compensation range for your area. Ranges can differ greatly from state to state and even city to city. The IRONWOOD HR team can also perform a compensation analysis for specific roles or perform a full audit if you’d like to review your current program.
To be successful, you should have a clear understanding of the job requirements and the necessary skills for the role. You’ll also want to write clear, appealing job descriptions and use general and industry-specific job boards. Conduct structured candidate interviews to accurately assess candidates’ skills and provide a positive experience for job seekers.
To widen your candidate pool, consider marketing your jobs to a larger audience through social media advertising or sponsored job ads. You can also reach out to schools and offer opportunities to recent graduates. Consider different industries and how those skills might transfer to your industry (hospitality, retail, etc.). Offering a competitive compensation package and promoting a positive company culture can also help attract more candidates. Additionally, seeking recruitment consulting services will help you more effectively market employment opportunities and fulfill hiring needs.
Hiring managers can ask questions related to the job, previous experience, ability to perform job tasks, and situational or behavior-based questions. However, questions about age, race, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, disabilities, and other personal matters unrelated to the job role should be avoided as they can violate anti-discrimination laws.
Employers must stay up to date with federal and state regulations regarding drug testing. For CDL drivers, they must comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, which require pre-employment, random, post-accident, and suspicion-based drug and alcohol testing. In states where marijuana has been legalized, companies still must comply with federal laws regarding drug-free workplaces, and marijuana use is not allowed for DOT-covered drivers. Employers often consult with legal experts to navigate these complex situations and stay compliant.
