said Lee, an authority on hiring and
retention who has written several
books and often publicly speaks on

Modern fleet guide
to raising retention
and recruiting
At HDAW 2022, recruiting expert
Tony Lee spelled out 13 ways to
boost retention and recruitment.

eavy Duty Aftermarket Week
(HDAW) typically focuses on parts
and procurement-how to quickly
find the right equipment to keep a
fleet running efficiently. This year,
however, arguably the most important
insights 2022 attendees walked
away with came courtesy of a human
resources
expert, who
offered
several strategies to find and keep
talent during the time of " The Great
Resignation. " After all, what good are
parts when you have no one to order
them or put them on your vehicles?
The commercial vehicle industry
may need 35,000 entry-level diesel
technicians in two years, according
to TechForce Foundation.
In a session called " Upping Your
Retention & Recruitment Game in
The greatest bottleneck for your
talent pipeline could be right at
the initial application process. Can
potential hires easily find and apply
for jobs at your company? And how
long does it take for them to do that?
One-third of companies require
applications that take more than 30
minutes to complete, while more than
half don't optimize for mobile users.
Lee noted Gen Z, or people under
25, often fill out applications while
stopped at stop lights.
" If they can't complete that application
in that two minutes, you may
have lost them, " Lee said. " I know it
sounds crazy, but you're in a business
of trying to attract someone who may
very well go to the Amazon warehouse
down the street, or may very
well go to the retailer that's offering
the $1,000 sign-on bonus. "
One way to find out how easy and
quickly that process takes is by filling
out an application yourself, he
explained. If it's taking too long to
fill out that application, then consider
changing it. Keep it short-name,
