PHOENIX, Aug. 21, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- U-Haul International is actively seeking to
hire the best information technology, customer support and business
professionals in the marketplace. A Phoenix native with 17-plus
years of human resources experience has been tasked with attracting
those top job candidates.
Latasha Causey, who has led the
recruiting efforts of other major organizations in the Valley,
recently joined U-Haul as its Director of Recruiting for locations
across the U.S. and Canada. She
will be based at the corporate towers on Central Avenue in
Midtown Phoenix, where U-Haul has
been headquartered since 1967.

"I'm excited to be part of this culture and a company that has
done so much for so many people for so long," Causey stated.
"U-Haul is a large company with a family-like feel, and that's what
sets us apart from other companies. I want to enhance the
recruiting process and employment brand so that applicants are
knocking down our doors."
Causey worked at a leading financial institution for 12 years in
North Phoenix, where she oversaw
employment brand enhancement and local/national recruitment
efforts. She also served in the nonprofit sector.
An Arizona State alumna, Causey
bolsters the U-Haul recruiting profile as the Company continues to
grow while approaching its 75th anniversary in 2020. U-Haul employs
more than 4,100 Team Members in Arizona and more than 32,500 across the U.S.
and Canada.
U-Haul recently eclipsed 22,000 truck- and trailer-sharing
locations, including Company-owned stores and independent dealers,
and serves millions of DIY customers each year.
Arizona Jobs Available
U-Haul has more than 200 openings in IT, Retail Customer
Service, Manufacturing, Call Center Support and various
professional roles in the Phoenix area. Oxford Life Insurance
Company and Repwest Insurance Company, subsidiaries of AMERCO
like U-Haul, are also hiring for multiple positions.
Veterans and military spouses are offered preference in the
U-Haul recruiting and hiring process. U-Haul was founded by a U.S.
Navy veteran and his wife in 1945, and many of the first U-Haul
Team Members and customers were veterans returning from the war.
Today, U-Haul directs a portion of its philanthropic support to
veteran organizations and initiatives, and has been honored through
the years as one of the leading veteran-friendly U.S.
employers.
"When hiring for this new role, it was evident that our team
deserves a strong, driven, high-energy leader with a passion for
people," stated Jessica Lopez,
U-Haul Chief of Staff. "Latasha is not only an expert in
recruiting, but she recognizes how important an effective and
efficient recruitment selection process is in order for U-Haul to
achieve its goals."
Causey is active in the Phoenix community, currently serving as
Honorary Commander for the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke AFB and a member of the Board of
Directors for Teach for America of Arizona; the Children's Museum of Phoenix;
Florence Crittenton; and Charter
100. She is also Co-Chair for Women United Leadership Group with
Valley of the Sun United Way.
Causey and her spouse, Sullivan, have two sons: Sullivan III and
Maysn.
