The CDL Funnel Difference
Why Settle for Leads When You Can Get Completed Applications?
Most recruiting services and job boards promise “leads”—names and numbers that leave your recruiters chasing drivers, filling in gaps, and hoping for follow-through. In today’s market, that’s not enough. You need a process that delivers results, not just possibilities.
Built for Recruiter Efficiency:
Our AI-powered, multi-step funnel doesn’t just attract drivers—it guides them through every stage, from first click to fully completed IntelliApp. Your recruiters get applications with work history, CDL details, violations, accident history, and all releases—so they can focus on hiring, not paperwork.
Higher Intent, Higher Quality:
Unlike generic job boards or social ads that flood you with unqualified leads, our funnel is engineered to filter and nurture only the most serious drivers. Every application in your Tenstreet dashboard comes from a driver who has taken real action—not just clicked a button.
Scalable, Predictable Results:
With flexible monthly campaign budgets, you control the flow of completed applications—scaling up or down as your needs change, without the overhead of adding recruiters or the unpredictability of pay-per-hire models.
A Modern Recruiting Experience:
Today’s drivers are mobile, busy, and expect a seamless process. Our funnel is optimized for speed, convenience, and completion—so you fill seats faster and never lose a great driver to a clunky application.
Stop burning recruiter hours on dead-end leads. Experience the power of a recruiting funnel designed for today’s market—and tomorrow’s growth.

The integration ensures seamless data flow between our recruitment campaigns and your ATS, so no lead is missed and every candidate is tracked effectively from application to hire
How does your pricing model work?
CDL Funnel operates on a flexible monthly campaign budget model rather than pay-per-lead or pay-per-hire pricing.
