I love it, I love it so much! With Rakuna, I handled 100+ candidates all on my own at the event and everything still went really smoothly. I can’t imagine not having this app with me at events. I’ll definitely need this app when I go out to recruit.

4 Statistics Vital for Transportation Recruiters

As the transportation and logistics industry continues to grow, competition for top talent is fiercer than ever. To stay ahead of the curve in university and college recruiting, transportation recruiters need to stay updated on the latest industry trends and statistics. A university recruiting solution can help streamline this process. Here are four key statistics every transportation recruiter and hiring manager should know.

High Demand for Drivers:

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the demand for heavy & tractor-trailer truck drivers is expected to grow by 4% from 2021 to 2031. A much faster rate than the average for other occupations. With the increase in e-commerce and online shopping, the need for truck drivers and related entry-level positions is only going to increase.

Shortage of Skilled Workers:

Despite the high demand for drivers, there is currently a shortage of skilled workers in the transportation industry. The International Road Transport Union estimates around 2,6 million unfilled truck driver positions globally. Knowing where and when your talent will be can help recruiters fill positions faster.
 

Rising Wages:

Due to the shortage of skilled workers, wages for drivers are on the rise. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers are witnessing a steady climb in the median hourly wage, a trend the bureau forecasted to continue as companies compete for the best talent in the industry in talent acquisition.

Importance of Employee Retention:

According to the National Transportation Institute, drivers move between trucking fleets at a significantly increased rate due to varying advantages across carriers. To retain talent, recruiters should include an attentive communication strategy highlighting their company’s competitive benefits in their university recruiting approach.
