Building Materials Industry Recruitment Challenges

The building materials sector faces unique hiring challenges including seasonal demand fluctuations, complex product specifications, and intense competition for experienced professionals. Sales representatives must understand diverse product lines from lumber and concrete to specialized systems and hardware.
