Training Program Recruiter

Training Program Recruiter

At Mast Trucking, our Training Program exists to turn the right people into great drivers. The success of every truck, load, and customer starts with the people we bring in — and the right recruiter makes all the difference.

We’re looking for someone with emotional intelligence, drive, and follow-through — a recruiter who can connect quickly, read people accurately, and push through the grind with consistency. This is a fast-paced, demanding role that requires balancing urgency, accuracy, and discipline every single day.

What You’ll Do

• Own the candidate experience — from first contact through eventually starting in the training program.

• Take ownership for performance results and adjust your approach based on data and feedback.

• Turn interest into commitment — connect with candidates in a way that drives action, not just conversation.

• Ask better questions — uncover what truly motivates each candidate and use it to guide them toward the program.

• Sell the opportunity with integrity — help people see the long-term payoff of starting their driving career the right way.

• Qualify the right candidates — identify who has the mindset, stability, and commitment to become a long-term success story here.

• Develop into a trusted interviewer — once you’ve proven ready, you’ll lead interviews that qualify the right people, educate them on the path ahead, and sell the opportunity with confidence and accuracy.

• Adapt based on outcomes — review who’s thriving or struggling in the program and use that insight to recruit smarter.

• Quickly and professionally engage new leads through phone calls, email, and live chat.

• Prioritize speed to contact and follow-through, ensuring candidates move efficiently through every stage.

• Evaluate candidate applications and MVRs to confirm eligibility and fit.

• Collaborate with training and operations teams to align recruiting efforts with company goals.

• Use technology effectively — maintain accurate notes and candidate updates in the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
  

What It Takes

• Emotional Intelligence: You know how to read people, listen between the lines, and build trust quickly.

• Competitive Drive: You take ownership of your results and don’t settle for “good enough.”

• Coachability: You’re teachable — not just by leadership, but by your own results, missed goals, and no-shows. You adjust and improve.

• Resilience: This job will test you. If you can stay composed under pressure and push through the grind, you’ll thrive.

• Sales Mindset: You’re not just filling spots — you’re selling opportunity. You adapt your pitch to each person’s motivation.

• Communication Skills: Clear, confident, and professional — on the phone, over email, or face-to-face.

• Organization: You can manage dozens of conversations and follow-ups without dropping details.

• Tech Comfort: You’re confident using tools like ATS platforms, chat systems, and spreadsheets.

• Experience: Recruiting, sales, or similar backgrounds often translate well — but drive and teachability matter more than your résumé.

Why It Matters

When you succeed here, you don’t just fill seats — you create opportunity, help people build better lives, and keep Mast’s trucks rolling strong.
