• Maintain HR policies, personnel records, employment compliance, and employee information in ADP or a comparable HRIS.
• Support employee engagement, retention, and improvements to recruiting effectiveness.

What you bring

• 3+ years personally recruiting CDL A truck drivers, including sourcing and screening (local, regional, and OTR experience all count; bus recruiting alone does not qualify).
• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3 years in HR within trucking, transportation, logistics, or 3PL.
• Broad, hands‑on HR management experience, including knowledge of federal and New Jersey employment requirements and familiarity with driver‑related DOT/FMCSA hiring requirements.
• Experience with ADP or a comparable HRIS, with the ability to work independently, use sound judgment, and maintain confidentiality.
• Full‑time onsite availability in Piscataway.
• A relevant degree or equivalent professional experience and HR certification are preferred, not required.

Compensation and benefits

• $100,000–$115,000 annual base salary
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
