Changes to the team at Property Personnel
The UK’s longest-established estate agent recruitment consultancy is announcing two important changes to its team.
Property Personnel based in Staines-upon-Thames has recruited Maddie Grange as Office Manager. Until the beginning of this year, Maddie lived abroad on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, where she started her first job in recruitment. “Although I enjoyed living in such a relaxing country, I did start to crave the hustle and bustle of the UK which led me to make the decision to move back,” she says. “I love the variety the job offers, as well as working with people, and I thoroughly enjoy being busy.”
Property Personnel Managing Director Anthony Hesse added: “The fact that Maddie has worked in recruitment before is a major benefit as she instinctively understands what the role involves. In fact, within a few days of starting here, she was completely reorganising my work life for me!”
The other important change at the firm is the promotion of Georgina Eastwood from Senior Consultant to Associate. Georgina graduated from the University of Sussex with a degree in Media and Cultural Studies and joined the Lettings & Management Division of Property Personnel in 2011. “I particularly enjoy the variety involved in meeting new people, and in building a lasting relationship with them,” Georgina explains. “Having returned to work after the birth of my daughter Isla, it’s been a pleasure to come back to the company. Needless to say, I’m thrilled with my promotion!”
Managing Director Anthony Hesse added: “Georgina really deserves this promotion. She’s very competitive, thrives in a challenging environment, and has excellent communication and time management skills. She is consistent in her achievements and still holds the record for the highest amount billed in a year at Property Personnel.”
Property Personnel is also looking for a recruitment consultant to join the team. The role on offer involves all aspects of the recruiting process – which includes registering and interviewing candidates to assess their requirements and abilities, screening candidates for suitable opportunities, and identifying appropriate clients by consulting with them over job descriptions & specifications. The successful candidate will also need to arrange interviews, keep regular contact with clients updating their recruitment needs, write copy for vacancy advertisements to attract candidates, as well as provide continual support to both clients and candidates throughout the recruitment process.
Anthony Hesse explained: “We’ve certainly had no shortage of applicants for the job. But the perfect candidate would be someone with a background in both property and recruitment – which means we knew from the start that this was not going to be an easy process. Nevertheless, for us, attitude is far more important than ability, so we would love to appoint someone with first class customer services skills, an excellent telephone manner and an above average ability to communicate.
“The truth is, we’re being highly selective about the person we are looking for. We only want candidates who are truly focused on a career in recruitment, with the relevant background, skills and attitude for the role.”
