James Bradford
@jamesbradford
Experienced Class A CDL driver recruiter and former licensed insurance agent with strong compliance focus.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Class A CDL driver recruiter and former licensed insurance agent with 25+ years of experience across transportation, health insurance, Medicare, and high-volume call center environments. I consistently meet hiring targets by sourcing, qualifying, and guiding candidates through application and pre-hire processes while maintaining organized recruiting pipelines.
My background includes independent 1099 and hybrid W2 roles where I managed high-volume outbound calling, phone screening, ATS/CRM systems, and coordination of MVRs, background checks, and drug testing. I have supervised Medicare advocate teams, supported members, providers, brokers, and handled complex claims, billing, and compliance matters under HIPAA and CMS guidelines.
I excel at relationship building with drivers, carriers, agencies, and brokers, reducing candidate drop-off through clear communication and follow-up. I am productive with minimal supervision and bring strong documentation, de-escalation, and conflict-resolution skills to ensure smooth hires and improved show-up rates.
