Insights

The best talent isn’t applying for jobs, they’re already in them. That’s where executive search comes in. And at Collins Property Recruitment, we’ve built a reputation as a go-to executive search partner for senior and strategic hires across the property sector.

Unlike general recruitment, executive search (or headhunting) is highly targeted, strategic, and consultative. It’s not about advertising roles and waiting for applications, it’s about identifying, approaching, and engaging with high performers who aren’t actively looking, but are perhaps open to the right opportunity.

We work in partnership with you, discreetly and intelligently, to understand your organisation, your culture, and your goals. Then we map the market, identify the best possible individuals, and make direct approaches on your behalf. It’s personal, collaborative, and entirely focused on delivering specific results within a pre-agreed time period.

Recent executive placements we've made:

• CFO, Commercial Property Investment Business
• Head of Residential Agency
• Director of Block Management
• Head of Property, Private Family Office

Why businesses choose us for Executive Search:

• Access to hidden talent: We have relationships with exceptional candidates who aren’t on job boards or LinkedIn.
• Confidentiality: Ideal for sensitive or business-critical hires.
• Sector expertise: Our deep understanding of the London property market.
• Focus: A dedicated search specialist manages your assignment from start to finish.
• Collaborative process: Shortlists, weekly catch-ups, reporting, benchmarking and strategic advice at every stage.
