Lower the Driver Recruitment Costs by Hiring 3 Drivers for the Price of 1!
Hey there! If you’re in the trucking business you probably know how big are driver recruitment costs, and you’ll know that hiring the right driver isn’t just about their experience or how well they can handle a rig. It’s also about the brand reputation of the company they’re signing up with. And here’s the kicker: did you know that with the right brand positioning, you could get 3 drivers for the price of 1? Let’s dive in!
Your Company’s Reputation Matters… A LOT!
Imagine two companies – one has a glowing reputation as an excellent employer, and the other is not well-known or has a not-so-good image. Who do you think will attract more and better drivers? A trucking study revealed that companies with a weaker reputation might end up paying 10% more in salaries to lure in candidates. So, a good reputation doesn’t just bring in quality – it can save a ton of money too.
More Candidates Will Knock On Your Door
Having a strong reputation means drivers will be coming to you instead of the other way around. It’s like having a popular restaurant – you don’t need to advertise much because people are lining up to get in. With The Drivers World services, which combines marketing and recruitment, your company becomes that hot spot. Drivers will know you, trust you, and want to work with you. And those who come with prior knowledge about your company often move through the hiring process faster.
Your Messages Get a Warmer Welcome
Ever tried reaching out to someone and getting ignored? With a strong employer brand, your messages will be received warmly. LinkedIn found that companies with a positive reputation had a 31% better chance of getting a response from potential hires. This means you’re not just shouting into the void – your voice is being heard.
Quality Over Quantity
With a strong brand, not only do you attract more drivers, but you also attract the right ones. Many will be so in tune with your company’s mission and values that the unfit ones will filter themselves out, leaving you with the best matches. And guess what? Companies with a solid reputation get twice the number of applicants. Double the choices, double the quality!
The Drivers World Difference
Now, let’s talk numbers. The average cost to hire a driver ranges between $5,000 to $10,000. It is based on the primary factors that determine this amount:
- Job board posting: the cost of running an advert will be featured here.
- External agency or In-house recruiter costs.
- Assessment costs: Anything that needs to be spent for your candidates to meet the initial requirements before the interview process will fall into this category.
- Background checks: You also need to pay out to check a candidate’s record, which a third party usually undertakes.
- Compliance: Preparing all the documentation involved in hiring – and making sure everything looks correct.
- Job fairs: if your company participates in job fairs, the amount spent for this should also be factored in.
But when you factor in the additional costs of marketing and building a brand reputation, things can get pricier. Here’s where The Drivers World shines. When you use our combined marketing and recruitment services, it’s like getting three drivers for the same investment you’d make in just one. It’s not just about raw recruitment – it’s about smart recruitment.
