CDL-A Driver Recruiter – Trucking Recruitment Experience Required Borderlanders Inc. | Philadelphia, PA Base Salary + Commission | Primarily In-Office We’re looking for a recruiter who has personally recruited and hired CDL-A truck drivers. At least one year of direct CDL-A driver recruiting experience is required; two or more years is preferred. Experience recruiting for other industries alone does not meet this requirement. You should already understand how to speak with drivers, explain a carrier’s offer, evaluate basic qualifications, and follow through from the first conversation to orientation. The Role You’ll work both warm inbound leads and prospects you source yourself. Our recruiting needs include solo drivers, team drivers, and owner-operators across W-2 and 1099 opportunities. You will be primarily responsible for recruiting drivers out of the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest. Your responsibilities will include: Calling inbound driver leads promptly and maintaining consistent follow-up. Finding qualified drivers through resume databases, referrals, social media, industry groups, and outbound outreach. Explaining pay, home time, lanes, equipment, benefits, and position requirements accurately. Screening drivers against our hiring criteria and coordinating required reviews with safety and operations. Managing candidates through applications, qualification checks, onboarding, and orientation. Keeping accurate records of calls, applications, approvals, scheduled orientations, and actual starts. Following up with new drivers and helping address concerns that could affect retention. What We’re Looking For At least one year of direct CDL-A truck driver recruiting experience, preferably with an asset-based carrier or trucking staffing agency. A record of personally moving drivers from initial contact to a completed hire. Comfort making outbound calls, handling objections, and asking for a commitment. Working knowledge of driver qualification requirements, MVRs, employment verification, DOT requirements, and the FMCSA Clearinghouse. Experience using an applicant tracking system. Tenstreet or DriverReach experience is a plus. Strong organization and reliable follow-through. Availability to work from our Philadelphia office. Experience recruiting teams, owner-operators, and lease-purchase drivers is especially valuable. Compensation and Work Arrangement Compensation includes a base salary plus commission. We’re open to discussing a competitive package with qualified candidates based on their experience, responsibilities, and demonstrated results. This position is primarily based in our Philadelphia office. A set number of work-from-home days may be considered as part of an agreed schedule. Depending on the candidate’s situation, we’re open to starting with a paid three-month trial period. Before starting, we’ll agree on realistic goals covering recruiting activity, qualified applications, driver starts, and retention. Successful performance may lead to a full-time W-2 position with benefits. We’re also open to a long-term independent contractor arrangement where appropriate. Why Borderlanders? Borderlanders is a growing, family-oriented trucking company with more than 150 trucks and 400 dry-van trailers. Our established customer base includes FedEx Ground, UPS, Walmart, and others.
