Agency, New Homes & Mortgages Recruitment

Dove & Hawk started out in estate agency. It is the part of the property market we have known longest, and it still shapes how we recruit. We know how a branch runs, how a new homes development sells and what a good negotiator brings to a valuation or a viewing.

We work with estate agency businesses, chartered surveying firms and resident service providers. Our clients range from start-ups and small independents to global corporations. Whatever the size of the business, we agree the brief with you first and then recruit to it.

Roles we recruit

We recruit across residential sales and lettings, new homes and mortgages, from entry level to board level. In agency and new homes, typical roles include:

• sales and lettings negotiators, including dual negotiators who cover both
• senior negotiators and valuers
• branch managers
• new homes sales roles
• sales and lettings administration, which is covered by our business support recruitment team

Mortgage roles we recruit

• Mortgage Brokers and Mortgage & Protection Advisers
• Protection Specialist Consultants
• Equity Release Advisers
• Mortgage Administrators
• Case Managers
• Business Development Managers
• Sales Managers and Sales Directors
• Regional Managers and Area Managers
• Director-level appointments

For candidates

Good people in agency get approached often. We would rather take the time to understand what you want next: the area, the type of property, the working pattern and how the package is put together. Then we put you forward for roles that fit, including positions that are not advertised. You can see what is live on our current property jobs page, or register your CV and we will call you to talk it through.

For employers

A negotiator who doesn’t settle costs you time, instructions and momentum in the branch. We take a detailed brief and tell you honestly how your package compares with the market, using our market benchmarking where it helps. We only send you candidates we have spoken to and screened. We can work on a contingency basis, where you pay only when you hire, or as a retained partner for senior and hard-to-fill roles.

Why use a specialist agency recruiter

We talk to candidates in their own terms, about pipelines, valuations, lettings compliance and new homes reservations. That gives us better screening and you fewer wasted interviews. It also means we can tell a strong applicant from one who just interviews well. Find out more about Dove & Hawk.
