The U.S. transportation sector consists of many types of businesses delivering air freight, airlines, marine, logistics, warehousing, and transportation infrastructure services. The industry is a massive contributor to economic growth. In 2017, roughly 3.7 million people were employed in the industry, and it is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
Because the transportation industry is one that requires a specific set of skills, with some vacancies requiring experience and training, the Human Resources departments in many such businesses have their hands full. They need to be fully focused on the recruitment and selection process while implementing strategies to enhance efficiency in hiring and retention. Conducting background screening on candidates and verifying the information of new hires can be a challenge, particularly with respect to regulation compliance.
