Win the specification, hold it to site. Sales Recruit Partners applies specialist construction and building products sales recruitment expertise across materials, architectural solutions, and trade channels to connect you with sellers who work architects, builders, and distributors, and carry a number.
Construction sales is not a general sales market. The person who specifies is rarely the person who buys, the win can be written into a drawing months before an order exists, and a substitution on site can undo it in an afternoon. A seller who thrived on a single decision maker often stalls. Sales Recruit Partners recruits across building materials, architectural solutions, and trade and distributor channels, into commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects, for employers who need every hire to carry a number.
We speak the metrics. Specification rates and conversion to order, project pipeline coverage, trade and distributor sell-through, share of wallet by builder—the measures that separate a strong construction seller from a confident interviewer.
Sales is all we do. Our entire team recruits salespeople. No generalist desks splitting attention across estimating, project management, or site hiring.
Evidence over assertion. Structured interviews, multi-year performance verification, and reference testing against actual assigned targets, including which specifications a candidate genuinely won and held through to supply.
We recruit the full spectrum of construction sales appointments across building materials, architectural solutions, technical systems, and trade and distributor channels.
Architects, contractors, and builders, driving specification
Specification processes and design professional relationships
Building product accounts and revenue across territories
Trade channels and distributor network expansion
Complex procurement and major builder partnerships
Building systems and technical solutions applied commercially
Leading teams across building products and materials markets
Market expansion across materials and architectural portfolios
The same methodology applies to every construction and building products sales appointment, scaled to the risk and commercial impact of the role.
Brief, market, and remuneration tested against the real talent market before anyone is approached. If the search is not winnable as briefed, we say so.
Original research across building materials manufacturers, architectural suppliers, and distributors in your category and adjacent ones. Not a database search of whoever is active.
The strongest construction sellers are not applying. They are approached with a commercial reason to move and handled discreetly.
Structured interviews, multi-year performance verification, and evidence of specifications actually won and held through to supply, not projects merely attended.
A shorter, better-evidenced shortlist with comparative analysis. We do not lengthen the list to look busy.
Offer and counteroffer risk managed, followed by a 30, 60, and 90-day plan with early warning reviews.
Building materials manufacturers, architectural solution providers, and construction materials suppliers who come back—the only client satisfaction measure that costs something to fake.
Growth at a building materials company over eighteen months, after we placed eight architectural sales specialists.
Ten business days inside a thirty-day committed campaign. Fifteen on Priority inside forty-five.
Twelve building materials sales representatives delivered in under forty days for a major building products manufacturer expanding architect relationships and trade channel presence across Australia.
Eight architectural sales specialists placed for a building materials company, contributing directly to a 50% increase in specification rates and expansion into commercial building projects within eighteen months.
“Sales Recruit Partners delivered exceptional construction sales talent who understood our building products and contractor relationships from day one. Outstanding project results.”
Ashleigh O’Brien, Executive General Manager, Commercial at Boral
A fixed professional fee is agreed before work begins, not a percentage of salary. Fees are invoiced on the appointee’s written acceptance of the offer, on 14-day terms. Replacement assurance is available where the fee was paid within terms.
The win and the order are separated by months and by people. An architect or engineer writes you into a drawing, a builder or distributor decides whether that survives value engineering, and a substitution on site can undo the whole thing. A seller who performed with one decision maker often stalls. We assess against the channel you sell through and the way your product actually gets specified.
Building materials, architectural solutions, technical systems, and the trade and distributor channels that carry them. That is the commercial side of construction supply. We do not recruit site, estimating, or project delivery roles, and we will say so at calibration rather than take the brief.
That is the point of the engagement. We map building materials manufacturers, architectural suppliers, and distributors in your category and adjacent ones, then approach passive performers with a commercial reason to move.
Replacement assurance runs 3 months on Standard Search, 6 on Priority, and 12 on Executive, available where the fee was paid within terms. Replacement must commence within 12 months of departure and be like for like.
