In 2023, Martha joined Collins Property Recruitment, where her dedication to building long lasting relationships and ability to match top talent continues to drive success within Build-to-Rent recruitment.

Frequently asked questions

Partnering with Collins Property Recruitment means more than just finding property talent, it’s about building lasting connections. Our inclusive and considered approach ensures every candidate feels valued and every client feels supported. Here are some of the questions we’re most often asked about our team and how we can help.

  • 1. How much experience do you have in property recruitment?

    Every Recruitment Partner at Collins Property Recruitment brings between 4 and 24 years of proven experience in property recruitment. Over this time, our team has built deep expertise and insight into the property sector, enabling us to understand both client needs and candidate aspirations at a granular level.

     

    We take pride in the trusted, long-standing relationships we have developed with clients and candidates alike. By consistently delivering successful and lasting placements, we help organisations secure top talent and support candidates in advancing their careers, creating outcomes that stand the test of time.


  • 2. What types of roles do you recruit for?

    We recruit across the full property lifecycle, covering roles within Build to Rent, Student Accommodation, and Senior Living; Estate Agency, New Homes, and Business Development; Finance, Marketing, and Business Support; Investment and Development; and Property and Block Management. From front-of-house positions through to senior leadership, we connect the right people with the right opportunities across every corner of the property sector.

  • 3. I’m looking to hire for my property team, can you help?

    Absolutely. Whether you’re expanding your team or replacing a key hire, we provide a consultative recruitment service tailored to your needs. From briefing through to shortlist and offer management, we handle every stage of the process. Contact us today to discuss your next hire.

  • 4. Do you also work with candidates?

    Yes. We work closely with candidates to understand their experience, aspirations, and cultural preferences. This ensures we only connect them with roles where they can thrive.

  • 5. Do you cover permanent and interim recruitment?

    Yes. While most of our placements are permanent, we also recruit for interim and fixed-term contracts - ideal for project work, maternity cover, or urgent backfill.

  • 6. Which locations do you cover?

    Although much of our work is centred in London, we also recruit extensively across the UK, supporting both regional and national clients. Since COVID, the market has become more connected and location-flexible, which has allowed us to broaden our reach significantly. In addition to London, we’ve been particularly active in key regional hubs such as Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Liverpool, Nottingham, and Bristol, helping clients in these cities attract and retain top talent.

  • 7. How do I apply to work as a recruiter for Collins Property Recruitment?

    All of our Recruiters and Recruitment Partners are self-employed, running their own businesses under the Collins Property Recruitment brand. There’s no micromanagement, no KPIs, and no rigid targets - just the freedom to recruit your way, with full back-office, marketing, and brand support.
