Recruitment: Why Work With Us

Recruitment, Done Properly

We’re not just recruiters. We’re career partners for professionals and strategic allies for businesses.

We help estate agency owners and property businesses hire smarter, lead stronger, and grow sustainably with the right people in the right roles, for the right reasons.

Whether you’re looking for your next move or your next great hire, we work the 2.0 way: honestly, personally, and with a level of care that’s rare in this industry.

And just so you know, we’re not big fans of the words “candidate” or “client.” Around here, you’re either a Professional or a Partner.

For Professionals

Confidentiality: We’re the keepers of secrets, always have been.
Time: We get to know you properly; your goals, your values, your why.
Communication: Fast, discreet, and consistent. You’ll never be left guessing.
Honesty: If it’s not right, we’ll say so.
Reputation before revenue: We do the right thing for you, not for our pockets
Partnership: We’re in it for the long haul, not just the placement.
Evolution: The professionals we place today often become tomorrow’s partners.
Blind shortlists: Where possible, we remove identifying details (age, gender, ethnicity, photos, etc.) so you’re assessed on capability not assumptions.
Fair process: Structured shortlisting and consistent questions. Less “gut feel”, more level playing field.
Zero tolerance: Discrimination, bias, or inappropriate behaviour from anyone involved = we step away. No debate.
No arseholes policy: If a company’s culture is toxic, we won’t dress it up and we won’t push you into it.
Advocacy: If you’re underrepresented in the room, we’ll make sure your voice doesn’t get lost in the process.
Respect, always: You’ll be treated like a professional partner, not a CV on a spreadsheet.

What You Can Expect

For Partners

And for the businesses we work with:

Time & Attention: We’ll meet, listen, and understand before we act.
Transparency: Clear fees, open communication, no hidden terms.
Focus: We take on fewer roles so we can deliver stronger results.
Exclusivity: Only exclusive or retained work, quality over quantity.
Experience: 20+ years each in property and recruitment. We know your world.
Values: We only work with people who share ours.
Reputation before revenue: We do the right thing for you, not for our pockets
Blind CVs & bias reduction: Where possible, we present capability-first profiles (no age/gender/ethnicity signals) to support fair assessment.
Inclusive hiring isn’t optional: We won’t facilitate discriminatory requests, explicit or implied. If it shows up, we’re out.
No arseholes: We work with good humans. If someone can’t behave professionally, they don’t get access to our network.
Accountability: We’ll challenge “vibes-based” feedback and unfair hiring practices and offer a better way.
Wider reach: We proactively broaden attraction and search so you don’t keep hiring from the same pool.
Culture matters: We’ll be honest about what your business signals to the market and what needs tightening up to attract (and keep) brilliant people.

FAQs

1. What types of roles do you recruit for?
We specialise in the property sector. From frontline agency roles through to leadership and board-level appointments. That includes estate and lettings agency, new homes, BTR, later living, proptech and central services (operations, marketing, HR, finance and growth roles). If you’re not sure whether your brief fits, ask us, if we’re not the right people, we’ll say so.

2. How do your fees and recruitment models work?
We offer a small number of clear options rather than a confusing menu of services. Typically this includes retained or exclusive search for senior and critical hires, plus project or subscription-style support for multiple hires. We’ll recommend the best model once we understand your brief, expected volume and timelines, and we’ll agree all fees and terms upfront so there are no surprises.

3. What does your recruitment process look like?
We start with a detailed briefing to understand your business, team, culture and the real outcome you need from this hire (not just a job description). From there we map the market, actively headhunt, and shortlist a small number of people we’d personally hire. We manage interviews, feedback and offer stages, and stay close during onboarding to give the hire (and you) the best chance of success.

4. How are you different from other recruitment agencies?
We don’t just “fill roles”; we focus on long-term fit and performance. That means honest conversations, fewer but better shortlists, and a joined-up approach that can blend search with leadership coaching and consultancy where it adds value. We’re sector people, not generalists, and we’ll push back if we think a brief, salary banding or structure won’t work in the current market.

5. What if the hire doesn’t work out?
We’re invested in getting it right the first time, which is why we put so much emphasis on the brief, shortlist and onboarding. However, if something does go wrong within the agreed rebate or replacement period, we’ll work with you to understand what happened and either replace the hire or apply the agreed guarantee in line with our Terms of Business.
