Posted on April 17, 2024

I get asked why a company should hire SnapDragon to recruit for their Building Materials-specific position all the time.  Why does industry specialization matter? Well, because in the competitive world of Building Materials, getting your hands on top talent is like striking gold and SnapDragon knows where and how to mine. It’s not just about finding someone with the right skills anymore; it’s about finding someone who fits your company like a glove. That’s where the magic of industry-specific recruiters comes into play.

Here are 6 reasons why having an industry specialist in your corner can be a total game-changer for your company.

  1. EXPERTISE: As an industry-specific recruiter, well, we “Get It”. We aren’t just dabbling in your industry; we live and breathe it. We know the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the supply chain, the players in the market and everything in between. This means we can spot the difference between someone who looks good on paper and someone who will actually rock in their role because we understand exactly what that role demands.
  2. CONNECTIONS: We have “VIP Access” to top talent. Imagine having a VIP pass to the hottest club in town—that’s what it’s like working with us.

We know the industry like the back of our hand, so you get candidates who are more than just qualified—they’re exceptional. We can see beyond the resume to find candidates who truly align with your company’s vibe and vision, drastically upping the odds of making a hire that sticks. And judging by our 95% retention rate, we’re pretty good at this.
