The BEST thing for your business today: being OPEN-MINDED!

Open Mind

The Real Estate & Property market is a small sphere containing a network of like-minded professionals with similar goals and aspirations. For your business, we know you want the best of the best in candidate talent to propel your business to the next level.

We source and meet the most talented individuals in the field of Real Estate and Property and draw from our cumulative real estate and recruitment experience to make sure we are sourcing the best candidates for you. However, the market we are in consists of an abundance of vacancies in real estate and property with limited candidates willing to make a move or take a gamble on stepping into the industry.

Below are a few options where we can help you work smartly in a candidate short market, and increase the opportunity of filling your vacancy in the quickest time frame possible without compromising the integrity of your business. 

  1. Focus on transferable skills

While some of these candidates may not look ideal on paper, they can impress overwhelmingly in interview, and may have some excellent transferable skills to offer. These candidates, in some cases, may turn out to be your most valuable asset. Being an open book, they are ready to take on and absorb all of your feedback and training. Some of our best placements have come from dissimilar backgrounds, overseas or out-of-industry experience.

  1. Meet the market

Salaries, job titles and levels of experience have shifted, and it is time to meet the market and welcome change. While it’s not reasonable to offer exorbitant salaries for junior candidates, the market is changing as demand for quality candidates increases and while you may not be ready to accept these changes, we can guarantee some of your competitors will or have already met the market rate, causing you a loss of a fantastic candidate.

  1. Timing

In such a high demand market, timing is everything. You can be assured that as soon as a candidate hits your inbox they are also actively interviewing or applying at other agencies, whether privately or through another recruiter. Delaying the interview process by as little as 24 hours can cost you a quality candidate.               

Excellent candidates are slipping under the cracks and being snapped up by other organisations – don’t miss out on opportunities to add exceptional value to your business.
