The status quo is expensive

  • Diesel tech supply is the tightest in the skilled trades
  • Reactive posting starts only after a tech walks
  • Agencies charge premium fees with no retention guarantee
  • Multi-shop fleets have no consolidated pipeline view

How TALNT changes it

Specialty-aware sourcing

Surface diesel techs by certification and equipment experience (engine, drivetrain, hydraulics) so shortlists match the work.

Warm bench for uptime

Maintain a continuously refreshed diesel pipeline so a resignation doesn't become weeks of parked trucks.

Predictable cost at scale

Replace premium per-placement agency fees with a flat platform cost and full source attribution.

Every open req is lost throughput. Close the gap.

Frequently asked questions

Why are diesel technicians so hard to hire?
Diesel has the widest supply gap of the skilled trades — retirements outpace entrants and demand from fleets is rising. Continuous sourcing and fast first contact are the only durable levers, both of which TALNT automates.
Can TALNT handle multi-location fleet shops?
Yes — each shop runs its own diesel pipeline while leadership sees consolidated days-to-fill and source ROI.
