The specialist recruitment problem

PropTech and property technology roles sit at the intersection of two sectors that generalist recruiters understand separately but rarely together.

Hiring for PropTech roles requires a recruiter who understands both the property sector and the technology sector. A generalist recruiter who knows property will not understand a cloud architecture brief. A generalist recruiter who knows IT will not understand the estate agency workflow the product has to serve. FMG Search sits at that intersection.

"We have a PropTech product manager role open for three months and every candidate has been wrong."

PropTech roles require candidates who understand property operations as well as product development. Generalist tech recruiters find the tech skills easily; they rarely find the domain knowledge.

"Our IT recruitment partner keeps sending us CVs from candidates who have never worked in property software."

The property technology sector has specific software, data structures and workflow requirements. A candidate who has built enterprise software for another vertical starts from a disadvantage.

"We need a cyber security specialist with financial services experience and cannot find one."

The intersection of cyber security, financial services and property is a thin talent pool. A recruiter who has built relationships in that space over years can access it; one who is searching cold cannot.

"Our HR team does not have the technical depth to screen PropTech candidates themselves."

First-stage screening of PropTech candidates requires someone who understands what the role actually involves. FMG Search provides that screening layer so your time is not wasted on interviews with unsuitable candidates.

How FMG Search works

Six elements of specialist recruitment that make FMG Search different from the generalist market.

FMG Search's approach is built around sector depth, tailored client partnerships and a refusal to treat difficult roles as sourcing problems that more CV volume will solve.

1

Dedicated sector specialist team

FMG Search's team members specialise in their sectors. Property consultants understand estate agency and PropTech. IT specialists understand cloud, virtualisation and cyber security. Candidates are assessed by someone who knows the field.

2

Tailored client partnerships

FMG Search works in genuine partnership with clients rather than on a transactional CVs-per-instruction basis. Understanding your organisation, culture and the specific requirements of each role produces better placements.

3

PropTech and property sector depth

Property software, CRM platforms, compliance technology and the specific operational requirements of UK estate agency are understood by the team. PropTech candidates are assessed against the property domain they will be working in.

4

IT, cloud and cyber security

FMG Search expanded into IT roles at the direct request of their property clients. Cloud architecture, virtualisation, cyber security and IT infrastructure roles sit alongside property in their specialisation.

5

Financial services sector coverage

Financial services roles within property - mortgage technology, fintech, insurance and compliance - are part of FMG Search's coverage. Candidates at the intersection of finance and property are their core market.

6

Start-up to multinational client range

FMG Search serves clients from early-stage PropTech start-ups through to large multinationals with UK property technology operations. The approach scales to the organisation without losing the specialist focus.

Your recruitment process with FMG Search

From role brief to specialist placement - five steps.

FMG Search starts every assignment with a structured brief that goes beyond the job description to understand the organisation and the role in genuine depth.

1

Detailed role brief

FMG Search conducts a structured role brief that covers technical requirements, domain knowledge expectations, cultural fit criteria and the commercial context of the hire. This is not a job description exercise.

2

Market mapping

The team maps the available talent in the relevant sector intersection. For specialist roles, this includes identifying candidates who are not actively job-seeking but who have the right profile.

3

Candidate assessment and screening

FMG Search assesses candidates against both the technical requirements and the domain knowledge requirements of the role. Only candidates who meet both criteria are presented.

4

Client presentation and process management

A shortlist is presented with FMG Search's assessment of each candidate. They manage interview scheduling, candidate communications and the offer process.

5

Placement and follow-up

After placement, FMG Search follows up at agreed intervals to ensure the hire is working for both sides. They take accountability for the quality of each placement beyond the acceptance date.

Frequently asked questions

What property and PropTech companies ask about specialist recruitment.

What makes a PropTech recruiter different from a standard IT recruiter?
A PropTech recruiter understands both the technology requirements of the role and the property domain the technology serves. A standard IT recruiter finds the technical skills; a PropTech specialist also ensures the candidate understands estate agency, lettings or property management workflows.
We are a start-up. Is FMG Search only for larger organisations?
FMG Search works with clients from early-stage PropTech start-ups through to large multinationals. The approach is tailored to the organisation's size and stage. For start-ups, the focus is on finding the right person for a pivotal early hire.
Does FMG Search handle both permanent and contract placements?
FMG Search covers specialist roles across both permanent and contract arrangements. Contact the team to discuss the appropriate approach for your specific hiring requirement.
How is cyber security within FMG Search's specialisation?
FMG Search expanded into IT and cyber security at the request of property and financial services clients who needed specialist IT candidates with domain knowledge. Cloud architecture, virtualisation and cyber security roles within property technology and financial services are covered.
