I am a passionate and results-driven Driver Recruiter with a strong commitment to connecting skilled and reliable drivers with rewarding opportunities in the transportation industry. With hands-on experience at SMJ Freight, I have developed a solid understanding of what it takes to build and maintain a dependable fleet that drives both safety and success. My approach to recruitment goes beyond filling positions, it’s about building relationships, understanding each driver’s goals, and aligning them with the company’s mission and operational needs.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked closely with drivers from diverse backgrounds, ensuring that every candidate meets regulatory standards and fits well within the company culture. I pride myself on being approachable, communicative, and organized, which allows me to manage multiple hiring processes efficiently while maintaining attention to detail. From sourcing candidates and conducting background checks to coordinating orientations and onboarding, I handle every stage of recruitment with professionalism and care.

My strengths lie in communication, driver engagement, and compliance. I understand the challenges that come with transportation staffing, from tight schedules to industry regulations and I’m always proactive in finding solutions that benefit both the company and the drivers. By using a mix of digital platforms, referrals, and direct outreach, I’ve been able to attract high-quality drivers who stay and grow with the organization.

Beyond recruitment, I am deeply motivated by teamwork and continuous improvement. I enjoy collaborating with dispatch, operations, and management teams to ensure that hiring decisions support long-term company goals. I also believe in maintaining transparency with applicants, creating a positive and trustworthy experience from the very first interaction.

In every task, my goal is to contribute to a safe, efficient, and people-centered transportation environment. I am always eager to learn, adapt to new trends in driver recruitment, and build strong professional connections that lead to mutual growth. For me, recruitment isn’t just a job, it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping drivers find the right fit and helping the company move forward confidently.
