Specialist recruitment for
residential property.

Residential property is one of the most people-dependent sectors there is. The buildings matter — but it's the professionals who build, manage, maintain and service them that bring them to life who make the real difference.

We recruit exclusively across the sector — block and estate management, build to rent, PBSA, facilities management, estate agency and new homes. Every specialism we cover is one we understand from the inside, which means we already know the role, the environment and what the right person looks like before we start.

For clients, that means a properly vetted shortlist matched to your brief. For candidates, it means honest conversations, genuine guidance and someone who'll support you through the process — not just to the offer..

Contingent recruitment

Targeted, sector-specific search — fee on successful placement only

Contingent recruitment is at the heart of what we do at Resi Recruit. When you bring a vacancy to us, we get to work immediately — drawing on our deep sector network and candidate relationships built specifically within block, estate and BTR. There's no upfront cost and no obligation. You only pay when we place the right person.

Retained search

Dedicated, fully managed search for business-critical roles

For senior, niche or hard-to-fill positions where getting the hire right matters most. We dedicate exclusive resource to your search with full market mapping, structured process and a guaranteed shortlist — fee split across agreed stages.

Exclusive search

Priority resource for an agreed exclusivity window

Work with us on a sole-agency basis for an agreed period and benefit from priority resourcing, deeper candidate engagement and a faster, more focused process — without the full retained commitment. Fee only on placement.

Other Services Available.

The following services are available to all Resi Recruit clients as part of our wider offering.

  • One of the most common reasons a hire falls apart at the offer stage is a salary that doesn't reflect what the market is currently paying. We provide up-to-date, role-specific salary data across block and estate management, build to rent, facilities management and the wider residential property sector — giving you the information you need to make competitive offers from the start.

    Whether you're budgeting for a new role, reviewing your existing team's compensation or trying to understand why you're losing candidates at offer stage, salary benchmarking gives you a clear, accurate picture of where the market sits right now — not where it was twelve months ago.

    • Role-specific salary data across all residential property disciplines

    • Regional breakdowns — London, South East, Midlands, North and beyond

    • Seniority-level guidance from entry level through to director

    • Benefits and package benchmarking where relevant

  • The best candidates in residential property are rarely available at the exact moment you have a vacancy. Talent pooling means we're proactively building and maintaining relationships with pre-qualified candidates in your discipline — so when a need arises, we're not starting from scratch.

    We get to know candidates over time — their motivations, their career goals, the kind of role and business they're looking for. That depth of relationship means when the right opportunity comes along, we can move quickly and confidently with people we already know and trust.

    • Ongoing relationship-building with passive candidates in your sector

    • Pre-qualified talent ready to engage when you need them

    • Faster time to shortlist when a vacancy arises

    • Particularly valuable for hard-to-fill or regularly recurring roles

    • Tailored to your specific business, team structure and hiring patterns

  • Before committing to a search — particularly at senior level or in an area you're less familiar with — it pays to understand what the talent landscape actually looks like. Market mapping gives you a clear picture of where relevant candidates sit, how the competition is structured and what you're likely to encounter when you go to market.

    This is particularly useful when expanding into a new region, restructuring a team, planning headcount for a new scheme or trying to understand why previous searches haven't delivered. It takes the guesswork out of hiring and gives you the insight to make faster, better-informed decisions.

    • Talent availability across specific roles, regions and seniority levels

    • Competitor structure and team insight

    • Salary and package landscape for the roles you're hiring into

    • Candidate movement and sector hiring trends

    • Useful for business planning, budgeting and growth strategy

  • A poorly written job description is one of the most overlooked reasons a search underperforms. Vague requirements attract unsuitable applications. Generic language fails to engage the passive candidates you actually want. And a spec that doesn't accurately reflect the role wastes everyone's time — including yours.

    We write compelling, sector-accurate job descriptions that clearly articulate the role, the environment and what you're looking for — in language that resonates with experienced residential property professionals. The result is a better quality of applicant, a more efficient search and a clearer process for everyone involved.

    • Written by someone who understands the role, not just the job title

    • Sector-specific language that resonates with the right candidates

    • Clear on responsibilities, expectations and what good looks like

    • Structured to attract passive candidates as well as active applicants

    • Ready to use across your website, job boards and direct outreach

  • A great candidate can underperform in a poorly structured interview. And a well-structured interview can reveal things a CV never would. We support both sides of the process — briefing candidates properly so they arrive informed and prepared, and helping clients structure interviews that actually test the right things for the role.

    For candidates, that means a thorough briefing on the business, the role, the panel and what to expect — so they walk in with confidence rather than nerves. For clients, it means interview frameworks, suggested questions and guidance on what to look for at each stage. Both sides better prepared means better decisions for everyone.

    • Full candidate briefing before every interview

    • Interview structure and question guidance for clients

    • Post-interview debrief and feedback management

    • Reduces the risk of a good candidate being lost to a poor interview experience

  • The period between a verbal offer and a candidate's first day is where more placements fall apart than most businesses realise. Counter-offers, cold feet, competing processes, notice period complications — the offer stage requires careful, proactive management to get a candidate from offer accepted to actually in the seat.

    We manage this stage actively — advising on offer structuring, handling the counter-offer conversation with candidates, staying in regular contact through the notice period and making sure nothing falls through at the final hurdle. It's the part of recruitment most agencies ignore once the fee is agreed. We don't.

    • Offer structuring advice to maximise acceptance rate

    • Counter-offer preparation and management with candidates

    • Regular check-ins throughout the notice period

    • Resignation support — how to hand in notice professionally

  • A successful placement doesn't end on a candidate's first day — it ends when they're settled, performing and part of the team. Most recruiters disappear once the fee is paid. We stay in touch with both the client and the candidate at key points through the onboarding period to make sure the hire has landed as well as it should have.

    A quick check-in at four weeks and again at twelve weeks takes minutes but catches problems early — before they become expensive. It also tells us a great deal about what worked in the search, what to do differently next time and what the candidate needs to succeed in their new role.

    • Weekly check-ins with both client and candidate

    • Twelve-week review to confirm the placement has settled well

    • Early identification of any issues before they escalate

    • Feedback loop that improves every future search

    • Included as standard on every permanent placement

Interim & temporary placement

Sector-ready cover, placed quickly

When you need experienced cover fast — for sickness, maternity, a project or a gap between permanent hires — we place pre-vetted residential property professionals on flexible interim contracts, with the option to convert to permanent.
