A large applicant pool means very little if the right person isn’t in it.
Real estate businesses often come to Christie after poor-quality applicants, unsuitable shortlists, high staff turnover or recruiters who don’t properly understand the industry.
A résumé can look right while the person, expectations or working style are completely wrong for the business. A carefully qualified shortlist should save time, not create more work for the hiring manager.
Why agencies call Christie
- Poor-quality applicants
- Unsuitable shortlists
- Wasted interview time
- Staff turnover
