Built for CDL recruiters, the AI Recruiter gathers applicant data, keeps drivers engaged, and helps recruiters hire efficiently
[Carmel, Indiana] – [March 4, 2025] – Hiring CDL drivers has never been easy, and recruiters need every advantage to keep up. That’s why DriverReach is introducing its AI Recruiter, a smart assistant that helps companies connect with applicants faster and keep the hiring process moving.
With AI Recruiter, trucking companies can automate conversations with driver applicants, collect key details, and build driver profiles in real time—all through a simple text conversation. Instead of waiting on callbacks or losing drivers to slow processes, recruiters can spend more time on serious candidates and less time chasing incomplete applications.
“AI Recruiter isn’t about replacing human recruiters—it’s about empowering them. By eliminating annoying work and gathering key driver data upfront, it lets recruiters spend more time with top candidates and gives applicants a fun, low-pressure way to explore the company and opportunity,” said Sam Bloomquist, DriverReach CTO. “A driver’s first interaction with a company sets the tone for the entire hiring process. This tool gives fleets the ability to create a branded, engaging experience that begins on their website and continues via every driver’s favorite communication medium – text messaging – anytime day or night!”
Most chatbots are stiff, repetitive, and more frustrating than helpful. AI Recruiter is different. It’s designed specifically for CDL hiring, meaning it asks the right questions, gathers the right information, and hands off applicants at the right time—without replacing the human touch.
Drivers can start conversations with AI Recruiter instantly—right from their phone
Unlike generic chatbots, AI Recruiter isn’t one-size-fits-all. Companies can configure both the tone and qualification questions to match their brand voice, hiring priorities, and company values.
AI Recruiter helps trucking companies deliver a personalized hiring experience that makes applicants feel like they’re talking to a real recruiter, not just filling out another form.
“While there are chatbots everywhere now, what makes ours special is that it is trained to recruit CDLs on behalf of a fleet and connected directly into our ATS,” says Brent Dorfman, DriverReach CEO. “ We believe in using cutting edge tech to complement the great recruiting teams in trucking, and this is our biggest release yet. It’s already proven to reduce hiring costs and improve efficiency for recruiting teams.”
Several fleets have already put AI Recruiter to work, and the feedback has been clear: it’s helping them connect with drivers faster and more effectively than before.
“DriverReach’s AI-powered chatbot delivers a life-like conversational experience, automatically creating or linking candidate profiles to save recruiters hours of manual work,” said Caleb Gee of Nussbaum Transportation, who joined early in the development as a beta tester. “ With seamless customization, advanced AI handling of complex questions, and ongoing improvements that have increased engagement 15x, it’s driving more completed applications before human intervention is even needed.”
