Recruiting With Integrity With Erin Sherman

#recruiting #culture #recruiters #integrity #trucking #podcast

Not all trucking companies are equal and not all recruiters are equal. Working for the right carrier means being honest right out of the gate. Erin Sherman (a.k.a The Shermanator) has been a top recruiter for years and has seen how companies have treated candidates after they start at a company. This is why she is happy at her current employer and makes sure that what they say in the recruiting brochure matches the experience the new employee will have once employed with the company. We talk with Erin about the process in this episode of the podcast. 

This episode is sponsored by Bison Transport with many opportunities for truck drivers in their fleet across Canada.
