1. In-House Recruiters
In-house recruiters or better known as internal recruiters are more and more common in the trucking industry in the last few years. But first I would like to explain to you how these recruiters function and equally important why does these recruiters are called in-house recruiters.

These recruiters are called internal or in-house recruiters because they are employees of the company that is providing the job opportunity that you have applied for. Therefore they are representing your potential employer.
Moreover, in-house recruiters know the best the company that they are representing, and thereupon they have a one-dimensional view of the overall market. The main reason why these recruiters have one-dimensional view is because they are mostly acting in the interest of their employer and not of the candidate’s interest.
Still this type of recruiters are the best when it comes to:
- Advising;
- Coaching;
- Mentoring;
2. Field Recruiters
Just like In-house recruiters – Field Recruiters are engaged in and are responsible for the process of recruitment, including the research period altogether with the interviews and the screening of the candidates from the overall databases. All types of recruiters are aiming for the same result which is to identify and recruit the best candidate.

What makes field recruiters different from in-house recruiters is that they are employed by the company that is looking for a truck driver, but they are mainly working from home. Besides the regular duties that every recruiter has which include researching, interviewing and recruiting candidates , the field recruiters must also complete all paper work. Likewise these recruiters have to attend truck shows, truck stops, as well as other events that are concerning the trucking industry.
In addition field recruiters are maintaining a network of contacts that later-on serves in the process of identification of the potential qualifiable truck driver.
