Recruits first job and jobs after
How long does it take for a recruit to start their first job when you first hire them. Also how often do they start another job after they have finished one?

You will find it's like real life, I have some that have never had a load. They get fired and replaced.

It's random, but just giving a driver a truck and no trailer, and putting them in a garage that is in a location with plenty of companies to supply jobs will increase the chances of him/her getting jobs sooner.
One driver in a truck with a trailer that limits the jobs available, in a garage with few companies nearby will not be the best plan. Set them to start on balanced jobs rather than specialising in long distance or high value as well.
Don't stress over drivers or the game economy, the game isn't really about that, it's all about you driving your truck, going new places and seeing the scenery. Listen to your favourite music and chill.

Mine usually start within a few hours. And they work all the time except when resting.

Thanks to everyone for the help. Steam is better than discord (In general LOL)

Picking someone from a local recruitment centre, they normally start pretty sharpish. If you pick someone from the 'online' recruitment centre and they may be many states away.

1-2 GT hours & they are on the road. It is common for them to finish their 1st haul b4 I'm done with mine. I set them to train on Long D up to rank 4 or 5, then switch them over training on hazardous cargo. They are making decent money fairly quickly.

Also, hiring them online is fine. I have never seen that cause a delay in them starting work.

As Mojo Musika says above, I put them in a garage with a strong freight market. But I don't know if that actually matters as I have not tested it.
