ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- NATSO, the national trade association representing truckstops and travel plazas, has announced a new partnership with CareerCo, an online recruitment leader, to help truckstop and travel-plaza operators recruit and hire employees.
In addition to joining NATSO as a Chairman’s Circle member—the highest level of support an industry supplier can achieve within the association—CareerCo is crafting a recruitment strategy to help NATSO members leverage a risk-free, performance-based system to recruit and hire for a variety of positions.
NATSO members will receive a 10% discount on all CareerCo services.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer NATSO members a cost-effective, targeted solution to help them find and hire customer-service-oriented workers,” said Pamela Hayes, vice president of business development at NATSO. “Partnering with CareerCo will allow operators to widen their talent pool and stand out as a potential employer.”
As a service-based industry, truckstops and travel plazas rely on quality employees, and NATSO board members identified the need for human resource assistance during the 2015 board-led strategic planning session.
Recruiting the right job candidate can be a challenge, particularly for positions that have traditionally experienced high turnover, such as quick-serve restaurant (QSR) cooks, cashiers and maintenance personnel. Performance-based online recruiting solutions from CareerCo can save business owners and managers time while also lowering their human resources costs, the company said.
Through the service, NATSO members will be able to set specific criteria, customize postings and track applicants in real time. CareerCo manages the job inquiry and application intake so users only see job seekers who meet preset criteria. There are no long-term contracts and no up-front costs, and members only pay for quality applicant prospects.
CareerCo is based in Staten Island, N.Y.
Founded in 1960 as the National Association of Truck Stop Operators, NATSO represents the industry on legislative and regulatory matters; serves as the official source of information on the industry; provides education to its members; and supports efforts to generally improve the business climate in which its members operate.
