Our business

Our purpose is to enable talent and businesses to meet and do great things together. We make this happen through an unrivalled network, a values-led, consultative approach and a hard-earned reputation as the go-to recruiter in property.

This case study is evidence that at the heart of our business is a belief in investing time and energy in understanding our clients, the market, and our candidates' character and competencies. This helps us to provide a sleek and efficient process and add value to our client. We focus on creating lasting connections and ensuring the perfect match.

Setting the scene

On 24^th November 2022, we received an email from a client struggling to fill a vacancy. They had seen other candidates for the role, some of which had made it to second interview stage, but they were not yet close to finding the right person. They’d had other recruiters working to fill the vacancy for the past few weeks, but not specialist property recruiters. 

The client contacted us for help and that is exactly what we did. Just over two weeks later they had offered a candidate the role, the candidate had accepted and now they can do great things together. 

Our approach

We took the time at the outset to understand our clients, their business and their requirements. We did not just ‘fire across as many CVs as possible’ but spent time shortlisting and pairing. We know the property recruitment market better than most and have also taken the time to get to know our candidates, their expectations and their values. This enabled us to match talent and businesses effectively and ensured we only put forward candidates who would be suitable and could add value. We truly believe it is not about the quantity of CV’s but about the quality of CV’s. 

Our meticulous approach to understanding our clients and candidates helped us to ensure the process was as streamlined as possible and helped us keep our promises:

Our promise to our clients

We find businesses the people they need for the jobs they have with the right potential to drive value.

Our promise to our Candidates 

We find individuals the jobs they need for the lifestyle they want in organisations they belong to.

Our values

A smooth recruitment process needs strong communication between all parties, a clear understanding of the needs of the client and the candidate and for all sides to work in partnership to fill the position. This case study proves that if these three things are done well, we really can do great things and we really can create lasting connections. It is because of this that communication, understanding and partnership underpin our business and are three of our core values. 

Observation

Why did the client not come to us first if we had successfully recruited for them in the past?

Because…others said that they could do it for cheaper.

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur!”
