Consultant to Associate Director | London | Real Estate Recruitment
An established and highly regarded boutique Real Estate recruitment business is looking for an experienced Residential Management Recruiter to take ownership of an existing and profitable market.
This is very different from joining a business and being asked to build a desk from scratch.
The Residential Management market is currently being covered by an Associate Director alongside his wider desk and is already generating approximately £125,000 per year – despite having no dedicated recruiter and very little active promotion.
The person joining will inherit those existing client relationships, contracts, candidate networks and revenue stream from day one, with the opportunity to develop the desk into a significantly larger specialism.
The Market
The desk operates across the London Residential Management market, with clients including leading landlords, estates, developers and property management consultancies.
Typical recruitment covers areas including:
- Residential Property Management
- Residential Building Management
- Mixed Use
- Build to Rent (BTR)
- Senior Residential Management appointments
Roles range from Property and Building Manager level through to Associate Director and Head of Residential.
Who They’re Looking For
This opportunity would suit someone already recruiting within Residential Management / Residential Property who has established relationships and a good reputation within the market.
You’ll ideally have:
- Current experience recruiting within Residential Management
- A strong understanding of the London Real Estate market
- An existing network of clients and candidates
- A successful 360 recruitment background
- A billing track record ideally around £180k–£200k+
- Strong business development and relationship-building skills
- The confidence to take ownership of and grow a specialist market
They are flexible on level and will consider someone from Associate / Consultant through to Principal or Associate Director, depending on experience.
Just as importantly, they want someone who fits the business.
You’ll be personable, credible and comfortable building relationships face-to-face. Real Estate is a highly social and relationship-led market, so they want someone who enjoys getting out, meeting clients and becoming genuinely well known within their sector.
The Business
You’ll be joining an award-winning boutique recruitment business with an established reputation within the London Real Estate market.
The culture is deliberately grown-up and autonomous.
There are no KPIs and no micromanagement. Experienced recruiters are trusted to manage their own desks, relationships and working lives.
It’s also a sociable team. They’re looking for someone who wants to be part of the business rather than simply sitting behind a laptop billing independently.
The team is predominantly office-based, with flexibility to work from home when appropriate.
Being together in the office is important because of the collaborative nature of the business and the proximity of many of their clients.
What's On Offer?
- Established clients handed across from day one
- A genuinely warm Residential Management market
- Competitive and flexible basic salary
- Guarantees available for the right individual
- Enhanced commission structures available
- No KPIs
- High levels of autonomy
- Established Real Estate brand and client network
- Opportunity to take genuine ownership of the Residential Management specialism
- Scope to grow the desk considerably beyond its existing revenue
- Progression within a successful boutique business
- Short and straightforward interview process
For an experienced Residential Management recruiter, this is an opportunity to combine the security of an established desk with the upside of effectively having your own market to develop.
