Head-to-head
Hayes Recruiting Hub vs Tenstreet
Trucking's incumbent ATS (acquired DriverReach in April 2025)
Tenstreet is trucking's incumbent ATS and absorbed DriverReach in April 2025. They have scale and a 3M+ driver network. Hayes is the modern alternative built specifically for recruiting agencies — multi-tenant from day one, with real two-way AI voice screening and full source-to-hire attribution.
Last fact-checked: August 2026
Where Hayes wins
- Multi-tenant agency model — manage every carrier client from one workspace, with branded subdomains per client.
- Native AI voice screening (real two-way calls, English + Spanish) — not a chatbot.
- Carrier voice cloning — record two minutes and the AI recruiter calls in your own recruiter's voice.
- Near-instant recruiter handoff — the agent pre-alerts your team the moment a driver qualifies, then warm-transfers live.
- Per-city job replication — edit one master template, push to hundreds of city-specific postings with full UTM attribution.
- 100% source attribution from ad click to hire, weighted by 30/90/180-day driver retention — not just hire counts.
- AI bid optimizer built into the ATS rather than bolted on.
- Carrier-branded subdomains and dashboards out of the box — Tenstreet's model is single-tenant per carrier.
- Two-way status sync: statuses you set in Hayes push back to Tenstreet (and Double Nickel / Everest) with a full forward audit log.
- Indeed Apply certified pipeline with disposition sync, screener and EEO endpoints.
- Modern, unified UI rather than a patchwork of merged products.
Where Tenstreet wins
- IntelliApp captive driver network (3M+ drivers) — the largest in trucking.
- Native iOS / Android recruiter app (Hayes ships a PWA).
- Marketing services arm for carriers that want it managed.
