Role: Senior Property Manager

Background

The client is a leading London property developer, creating contemporary, luxurious homes and commercial properties of exceptional design and specification.

Challenge

The team at the client currently had an internal staff member who had been with the company for a significant number of years managing the responsibilities which the Senior Property Manager would take over.

As the portfolio was expanding and they needed someone to come in and manage the demand, it was imperative to find the right candidate who matched the search criteria. The assignment was to find someone who lived locally, met the salary budget and the specific profile agreed, was IRPM qualified and had over 5 years of experience.

Our consultant was instructed to find a shortlist of candidates who lived locally to the office, specifically no more than 30 minutes commute to the office. The client wanted to ensure the successful candidate didn't spend time travelling to the office and that their work/life balance wasn't affected.

Methodology

Our consultant began the recruitment project by mapping out all managing agents that were located within half an hour of the office as well as property management teams and approached them accordingly. Additionally, our consultant utilised their network, advertised on all the relevant job boards as well as using LinkedIn to source active and passive candidates.

These techniques resulted in our consultant providing a shortlist of 10 candidates, where the hiring team met with 5. Following this, 3 of interviewees were offered a second stage which led to the successful candidate being identified and offered the position. The entire recruitment assignment was completed within the agreed timeframe of 2 months.
