Property Recruitment

Property recruitment starts with understanding the asset, project and responsibility.

Property management, surveying, site support and commercial roles require different technical and client-facing experience. We clarify the portfolio or project before assessing candidates.

Sector overview

Property and construction titles cover very different work.

The brief should explain the asset or project type, client relationships, technical duties, site requirements and level of commercial responsibility rather than relying on a broad title.

Employers and candidates

Clear expectations improve both sides of the process.

The search works better when the employer and candidate both understand the work, the practical requirements and the reason for the move.

For Employers

We test the brief against the market, then assess candidates against the role, environment and result the appointment must deliver.

For Candidates

We discuss the assets, projects and clients you have supported and whether you want more technical depth, commercial responsibility, site exposure or portfolio ownership.

How we recruit

A focused process shaped around the role.

The same recruitment discipline applies across our sectors, but the questions and assessment reflect the actual work.

  1. Clarify the work

    Property and construction titles cover very different work. We agree the responsibilities, environment and practical requirements.

  2. Test the market

    We discuss salary, candidate availability, location, working pattern and timescale before the search gathers pace.

  3. Assess relevant evidence

    Relevant project or property evidence, technical judgement and client communication.

  4. Manage the decision

    We coordinate interviews, feedback, offers and communication through to the agreed start date.
