What makes this sector hard

  • Asset-class precision

    Office, industrial, multifamily, retail and specialty each need distinct signal. The rubric captures the asset classes actually worked on and portfolio scale.

  • Lifecycle-stage fit

    Acquisitions, development, operations and dispositions reward different skills. Lifecycle stage is captured in intake so shortlists reflect it.

  • Market and geography

    Real estate is local. Market coverage is captured as a first-class filter rather than a free-text note.

  • Commercial vs residential

    CRE and residential have different underwriting, leasing and management conventions — never merged in scoring.

The evidence we score against

Every candidate is scored against the role's rubric, and every score points back to a specific line in the CV. For real estate, these are the signals that carry weight:

  • Asset-class rubric per requisition
  • Lifecycle stage captured in intake
  • Market coverage as a first-class filter

Certifications and credentials that matter here

  • CCIM
  • MAI
  • CFA (for capital markets)
  • RICS
  • LEED AP
  • BOMA-certified property manager

Regulatory and compliance requirements

  • Brokerage licensing captured verbatim from the CV — never asserted by us
  • REIT compliance exposure where relevant
  • Property-specific safety and licensure captured

What your shortlist looks like

  1. A ranked set of candidates, each with a score and the evidence behind it.
  2. Eligibility checks resolved before the candidate reaches you — right to work, credentials, location model.
  3. Salary expectation against your band, stated plainly, before you invest interview time.
  4. One decision per candidate: advance, hold or decline, reversible for a short window.

Candidates stay invisible to you until we've reviewed them for your specific role, and contact details are released as a separate step.
