Our approach

Understand the product and customer mix

Building materials suppliers may serve contractors, builders, developers, and specialty trades across a variety of product categories. We clarify the inventory, customer segment, delivery model, and whether the position supports a branch, territory, or broader distribution operation.

Our approach

Sales and operational recruiting

We recruit sales representatives, branch managers, purchasing professionals, operations leaders, and customer service managers. Candidate fit depends on relevant product knowledge, contractor relationships, pricing and quote workflows, inventory coordination, and team leadership.

Our approach

Evaluate supply chain and customer execution

We ask how candidates manage product availability, order accuracy, delivery coordination, account communication, and changing project demand. The search can distinguish outside sales and specification influence from branch operations and procurement responsibilities.

Our approach

Direct outreach across local and territory networks

We directly contact local supply and distribution professionals in the markets we cover, including candidates open to 100% travel. Nationwide candidates willing to travel 100% can be considered for territory and traveling roles with clear expectations.

Relocation and travel

Relocation Placements

Over the last few years we've filled more and more positions with candidates willing to relocate on their own, or with minimal initial relocation help from the client. We always fill with local candidates when possible. But relocation placements are a specialty of ours, and we know how to make them work for clients who are committed to filling the position.

Placement protection

12-month replacement guarantee

On standard (non-reduced) fee agreements, every placement comes with a 3-month free candidate replacement guarantee. From months 4 to 12, we'll still replace the candidate at half off. That's a full year of coverage. We've never needed to use the extended guarantee.

Extended coverage applies to eligible placements billed and paid at the full standard fee under the signed client recruiting agreement.

Three-Month Free Replacement

If a placement billed and paid at the full standard fee separates for a qualifying reason within the first three months, Construction Headhunters will conduct one replacement search for the same or substantially similar position at no additional professional recruiting fee.

Months Four Through Twelve: Half-Fee Replacement

If the hire separates during months four through twelve, the client receives one replacement at half the standard professional fee. Applies only to original placements billed and paid at the full standard fee.

Eligibility, exclusions, notification requirements, payment requirements, and replacement terms are governed by the signed client recruiting agreement.
