When you’re looking to secure new talent or expand your fleet, you may assume that hiring drivers directly is your only option. However, by working with driver leasing companies instead, you can get the skilled drivers you need faster and more efficiently, all while reducing costs, mediating risk, and ensuring utmost flexibility. 

If you’d like to learn more about how driver leasing companies can benefit your business, here’s a look at just some of what driver leasing companies have to offer in California. 

Recruitment Support

When you work with driver leasing companies, you get access to recruitment experts that specialize in the transportation industry. The recruiters are adept at finding drivers with nearly any skill. Additionally, they’re able to screen candidates to ensure they’re the right fit for your business, ensuring you are only presented with high-quality matches. 

Along the way, you get to focus on other aspects of your operation. You won’t be distracted by a flood of resumes from candidates that won’t fit the bill. Instead, you get to focus on your company, spending less time on recruitment overall by ensuring you only have to consider pre-vetted top talent. 

Flexible Hiring Options

With driver leasing companies, you have several hiring options available. You can try temporary, temp-to-hire, or direct placement approaches depending on your needs. 

If you need drivers for peak season only, temp drivers give you the ability to scale up and down with ease. With temp-to-hire options, you can conduct working interviews, allowing you to assess a driver in the position before making a permanent job offer. When you choose direct placement, you can bring a top talent on board right away, ensuring they become part of your permanent team quickly. 

Reduced Risk

Hiring always comes with a degree of risk. Along with concerns about workers’ compensation and unemployment, the recruitment and hiring process can be costly when you manage it independently. 

By working with a driver leasing company, you can reduce risk. Initially, drivers remain on the driver leasing company’s payroll, so you don’t have to worry about certain payroll costs. Additionally, they handle the recruitment and screening, lowering your expenses. Finally, if a short-term or temp-to-hire placement doesn’t work out, you can release them and try a new driver without having to pay for a whole new recruitment process. 

Top-Tier Talent

Driver leasing companies maintain databases brimming with pre-vetted, top-tier talent. Plus, they make sure that candidates remain engaged, increasing the odds that they’ll be available when the right position comes along. Additionally, driver leasing companies know how to connect with hard-to-find talent quickly, making it easier to fill niche positions with highly qualified driving professionals.
