Top 10 Ways The Recruiting Service Can Supercharge Your Building Materials Business

Posted on June 11, 2024

I was meeting with the CEO of a successful Building Materials retailer, and he asked how I respond to the question of why partnering with a recruiting firm benefits a company.  Great question, and one that I am always happy to answer.  In my 20 years of recruiting, I have learned so much about recruiting and the role a recruiting firm plays in the success of a company.

People are crucial in driving business success, as their skills, competencies, and relationships significantly contribute to growth and development.

Here’s my list of 10 benefits professional recruiting services can level up your business in ways you might not have considered before:

1. Know-How That Hits the Nail on the Head

As recruiting experts with specialized knowledge, we specialize in the building materials world, so they speak your language and know exactly what kind of talent suits your needs. We understand the distribution chain of lumber and building materials from manufacturers to distributors to retailers to the contractor.

2. A Talent Buffet at Your Fingertips

With a vast network, our recruiting team can serve up a diverse range of qualified candidates for you to choose from, ensuring you find the perfect match for your team. It’s all about the network, who we know, and the ability to get top talent in front of our clients.

3. Time Is Money – Save Both

By letting our recruiting experts handle the hiring process, you free up your schedule to focus on steering your business ahead while they work their magic in the background. Finding the right candidates also boosts productivity, saving you both time and money. I cannot tell you the number of times I have heard “I’m just too busy to interview or look for someone.”

4. Invest Wisely, Save Big

Never put the cart before the horse by focusing on the cost versus the deliverable. The right hire can significantly contribute to business success by driving growth and development through improved skills and competencies. While it might seem like an extra expense, the right hire can save you tons in the long run by reducing turnover and boosting productivity. Not to mention the cost of a wrong hire.

5. Cream of the Crop Candidates

Our Recruiting firm sifts through candidates with a fine-tooth comb, presenting you only with top-tier talent that ticks all your boxes. We do a lot of culling so that you only look at quality candidates.

6. Goodbye, Turnover Woes

While no recruiter can prevent turnover, we can lessen it by focusing our recruiting on finding candidates with the skill set to do the job, the history of being top performing in their past roles, and the culture fit to match yours. Matching candidates to your company culture means happier employees who stick around longer, creating a stable and motivated one team.

7. Strategic Hires for Strategic Wins

Working hand-in-hand with you, our recruiting teams help you map out a hiring strategy tailored to your goals, ensuring each new hire propels you toward success.

Our specialized knowledge in recruitment allows us to effectively map out a hiring strategy that meets your specific needs.

8. Shine Bright Like a Great Employer

We help spread the word that the clients we choose to work with are top companies in the Lumber and Building Materials industry. We promote positive candidate experiences as a reputable agency, boosting your company brand, and attracting qualified candidates who want to be part of your awesome team.

9. Stay in the Loop with Industry Insights

Our recruiting pros keep their ears to the ground, providing you with market trends and salary info so you can stay competitive and attractive to top talent. Their specialized knowledge ensures you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information. We talk to companies all over the US and gain insights on hiring trends, hot markets, and future plans. We are in the know.

10. Partnerships That Pay Off

Our goal is to establish long-term relationships with our client companies. Long-term relationships are crucial for driving business success, as they ensure consistent delivery of top-notch candidates. Building a lasting relationship with a recruiting service means they become an extension of your team, consistently delivering top-notch candidates perfectly suited to your needs.

Keep in mind, that this all takes working with a reputable, results-driven recruiter in Building Materials.  There are lots of recruiters to choose from but only a very few who actually deliver on what you are looking for; exceptional results. Understand that teaming up with professional recruiting services in the Lumber and Building Materials Industry can streamline your hiring process, save you time and money, and set your business on a path to long-term success.
