Build the Team Behind a Growing National Trucking Company
We're a U.S.-based Class 8 over-the-road (OTR) dry van trucking company operating throughout the continental United States. As our organization continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition Manager to build, lead, and own our recruiting function.
This is not a recruiting coordinator or assistant role. We are looking for someone who has successfully built recruiting operations, developed hiring systems, and partnered directly with executive leadership to scale an organization.
If you've built recruiting departments for OTR trucking companies and understand what it takes to hire exceptional talent across every business function—not just CDL drivers—we'd like to speak with you.
What You'll Do
As our Talent Acquisition Manager, you'll own the company's recruiting strategy from sourcing through hiring.
Responsibilities include:

- Build scalable recruiting processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
- Design structured interview processes and hiring scorecards
- Create recruiting pipelines for current and future hiring needs
- Source high-quality candidates using modern recruiting tools
- Recruit management and executive-level talent
- Partner directly with ownership and executive leadership on workforce planning
- Track recruiting metrics and continuously improve hiring performance
- Manage ATS workflows and candidate experience
- Implement AI tools to improve recruiting efficiency and productivity

- Designing interview systems
- Building hiring pipelines
- Managing recruiting operations
- Hiring department managers
- Helping build an organization's leadership team
- Making hiring decisions independently
- Reporting directly to an owner, CEO, or executive leadership
The ideal candidate has not relied on another Recruiting Manager for day-to-day recruiting decisions.
