## Story

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Sara Bennett, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK’s chief talent officer, discussed how the brand plans on hiring 2,000 new employees in anticipation of its busiest seasons, but it’s struggling to find quality candidates to fill the jobs. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is the largest franchised moving company in North America with 380+ locations. Bennett explained that TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® is not only seeing a decrease in the hiring rate, but also the number of applicants over the past year.

The brand is hiring at all levels including movers, drivers and management, and has to compete with other competitors in the sector.

“Any employee in those industries is in seriously high demand. That’s made things difficult for us,” said Bennett. “And with the pandemic — obviously there’s a fear that’s still out there, though the vaccines have helped people feel safer and more comfortable.”

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has completed over 8 million moves since 1985 and was ranked on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2021 Top 500 Franchises for the 26th consecutive year.
