Problems We Solve for Fenestration Manufacturers

These are common pain points employers describe when they call MR Davidson.

Specialized engineering and product roles often sit open for months without the right recruiting partner.

Regional Talent Shortages

Plant and sales roles in specific markets can be difficult to fill locally.

Losing experienced sales or plant leadership disrupts momentum and customer relationships.

4

Slow Time-to-Fill

Generalist recruiters without industry context slow down the hiring process.

What We Screen For

What Makes a Strong Fenestration Industry Candidate

We screen every candidate for practical, on-the-job impact — not just resume keywords.

  • Directly relevant industry experience — hands-on background in window, door, or building products manufacturing.
  • Proven track record — measurable results in sales, engineering, or plant performance.
  • Longevity with the same company — we screen out job-hopping.
  • Demonstrated advancement of responsibility — growth in the scope and complexity of roles managed.
  • Education & certifications — relevant technical or business degrees are a plus, though hands-on experience often outweighs them.
