Q2: Real Estate recruitment trends

As we progress through the second quarter of 2024, the real estate industry continues to undergo transformative shifts, reshaping the dynamics of recruitment. 

  1. Tech integration and digital transformation: Technology is revolutionising every aspect of real estate, from property management to client interactions. As Q2 unfolds, recruiters are seeking professionals proficient in emerging technologies such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Candidates with a knack for leveraging tech solutions to streamline processes and enhance customer experiences are in high demand.
  2. Focus on sustainability and ESG practices: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are becoming increasingly prominent in real estate decision-making. From eco-friendly construction practices to community engagement initiatives, firms are prioritising sustainability like never before. As a result, recruiters are seeking candidates with a strong understanding of sustainable real estate practices and a commitment to ESG principles.
  3. Specialisation in niche markets: Q2 sees a growing demand for professionals with expertise in niche real estate segments such as senior housing, industrial properties, and sustainable development. Recruiters are keen on finding candidates who not only possess specialised knowledge but also demonstrate a passion for their chosen niche and a track record of success within it.
  4. Emphasis on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Inclusivity is no longer a buzzword but a cornerstone of progressive real estate firms. Q2 trends underscore a heightened focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within recruitment strategies. Companies are actively seeking candidates from diverse backgrounds and fostering inclusive work environments to drive innovation and better reflect the communities they serve.
  5. Adaptability and resilience: The unpredictability of global events underscores the importance of adaptability and resilience in the real estate sector. Q2 recruiters are prioritising candidates who demonstrate the ability to pivot quickly in response to market fluctuations, economic uncertainties, and regulatory changes. Flexibility and resilience are valued traits in navigating the evolving landscape of real estate.

By staying attuned to these trends, both employers and job seekers can position themselves for growth and success in the ever-evolving world of real estate. Contact our team to learn more about the trends in real estate talent attraction currently.

Bradley at GKR has found me the perfect role in a fantastic company while making the whole process surprisingly easy. I have no doubt that I have made the right decision, and I’m very thankful to have been introduced to the opportunity by Bradley.
From point of initial contact he has been all over the procedure very efficiently and professionally, keeping in contact regularly and most important of all getting me into the best suited role possible.
What was daunting prospect of moving up to London and a job change has been made and exciting time, as well as providing me a fantastic opportunity.
I would highly recommend Bradley and his team to anyone looking for their next job or a new employee.
Thanks again!

I was referred to Rose at GKR by an interviewer who worked for a Mews property specialist company. Rose was an absolute delight to work with. She was professional, proactive, supportive and got me my first job in London within a WEEK of working with one another. She went the extra mile and gave me valuable interview advice and kept me in the loop regarding feedback from the companies I Interviewed at. It reached the stage that Rose even calculated how long my journey to the offices would take, so that I could focus on my preparation and have a stress free job hunting experience. I’ve never come across a more authentic, professional and hard working recruiter before. Rose deserves all the success that comes her way and I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a new role.

From start to finish my experience with GKR has been amazing. From my very first conversation with Rose Lock, I was instantly put at ease having not looked at changing roles in 11 years.
Rose supported me throughout my journey, making me feel prepared, supported and confident. She is a mentor providing knowledge but is personable and really listens and genuinely cares. Rose is exceptional at her job and a delight to deal with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am now looking forward to starting my amazing new role and its all thanks to Rose!

There are very few professionals in this industry who bring competence to the table with a mix of a very positive attitude and an extremely friendly demeanour.

First class experience with Bradley. I had been in touch with a few recruiters but Bradley was by far the best. Listened to what I was looking for and got me a placement for the exact company I wanted. He was never pushy and I felt like he genuinely wanted to help, it was like talking with a friend. At points I was indecisive and Bradley assertiveness helped me to make the right decision. He provided great advice and followed up to make sure everything was okay. Thanks again Bradley and I will be recommending him to anyone I know who is looking for a job.

Amazing experience with Brad Hellier! From start to finish Brad was incredibly friendly, personable and professional. I am very grateful for Brad’s communication and support whilst helping me find my next career. Brad was able to secure me multiple interviews quickly and provided a knowledgeable insight to many options I had not even considered. I would recommend him to anyone looking for their next career in property!

I am writing to express my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for the excellent service you provided me during my job search.

Working with GKR and specifically with Rose Lock felt like a bespoke service. The attention to detail, thoroughness, and dedication were phenomenal. I truly felt that they were working in my best interests, and that is a rare quality to find in a recruitment agency.

Rose’s personalized approach and guidance throughout the process were invaluable. Her insights and suggestions not only helped me find the right position for me but also gave me confidence and reassurance during the search. The exceptional service made the job search smooth and stress-free for me.

It was a pleasure to have worked with Rose and GKR, and I would highly recommend both to anyone searching for a new position. The quality of service I received was truly inspirational, and my success would not have been possible without Rose and GKR.

Thank you once again, Rose, for your dedication and excellence. Please keep up the good work - the world needs more professionals like you!

Superb communication through-out, completely different to other recruiters, Michael went hunting for vacancies rather than just sending me automated emails from existing jobs that most other recruiters seem to do. Not only that, he actually got to know me and the role I was looking for to make the match completely compatible from both sides rather than just putting me forward for anything. A truly quality over quantity service, will hopefully be expanding the office I’m in and would only use Michael's recruitment to do this.

I would like to express how wonderful it was to work with Emma. I was struggling to find a job and was on the verge of giving up but Emma saw potential in me and provided me with feedback on where I may have gone wrong which helped me become more confident within myself. She was there through every step of the job process and helped me successfully get a job. Wouldn’t have got here without her.
