How do you get the truth when dealing with Recruiters?

You know a recruiter is lying when their lips are moving.

As far as getting to the truth you need to talk to as many drivers as possible.

There are cases of being told cpm will be one thing, and you get to orientation and it's another.

 

Number 1 thing IMO is to let them do the talking. Let them tell you what they may or may not do. Don't start jibber jabbering about what all you're looking for or expecting right from the git-go because more then likely, 90% of recruiters will magically offer exactly what you're looking for. (which is BS 90% of the time as it turns out later)

Let them sell themselves and see what they provide in terms of any negatives that may not fit with your goals. Have a short term goal, a mid-term goal, and a long term goal. Long term goal will probably require to to move to another carrier later, perhaps multiple times, once you get established in your experience and on your expectations and wants.

 

LOL

 

yes. find out where they live, and hold thier family hostage.

if that does not give you the desired results, remove thier shoes, socks and lick thier toes till they scream bloody murder.

 

The best way to get the truth is to talk to a bunch of drivers that work for that company

 

do recruiters shower everyday?

 

when you lick thier toes, you will know.

they will either taste of Dove, Irish Spring or Dial, or like cheese from Wisconsin.

i think the cheesy taste means they do not shower. or are calling from call central, in Wisconsin.

 

What HR or any other dept would do is send you right back to recruiting.So don't even waste your time taking that route.Anybody whos been driving for a number of yrs knows the head games recruiters plays,for new drivers that's another story they just have to hope and pray their recruiter is on the up and up.

 

How to get the truth from a recruiter:

Step 1: request a live one on one interview

Step 2: at the interview, grab recruiter by the throat

Step 3: once a firm grip on the throat has been established, slam recruiter against the wall three or four times

Step 4: if there is a door handy, slam said door on recruiter's head a few times

Step 5: grab a good, sharp knife, and remove one of the recruiter's fingers. Preferably a pinky to start.

Step 6: ask first question

Recruiter should now be more receptive to the idea of telling the truth. If recruiter lies, return to step 1 and repeat the process. Do so for each and every lie until all your questions are truthfully answered. If the recruiter fails to survive the process (always a possibility, they are pretty soft and wimpy), request a new recruiter and repeat process again.

Kind of time consuming, but worth it in the end...
