The property recruitment problem

Recruiting the wrong person for a property role costs you their salary, your time, and the clients they managed badly.

LCA Jobs has been solving the property recruitment problem for over two decades. Their approach is based on one principle: understand the client and the candidate deeply enough that the placement succeeds long term.

Your branch manager hired someone who looked right on paper and left within four months

High-turnover placements from generalist recruiters are the most expensive outcome in agency recruitment. LCA Jobs invests in face-to-face registration of every candidate - a one-hour interview that reveals what a CV cannot.

You are waiting three weeks for CVs from a recruiter who does not understand property

Recruiters who do not know the difference between a Senior Sales Negotiator and an ARLA-qualified Property Manager send wrong candidates slowly. LCA Jobs knows the roles and the market.

The candidates you see are circulating across multiple agencies simultaneously

LCA Jobs obtains exclusivity on most candidate registrations, meaning the candidates they introduce are not being simultaneously pitched to three of your competitors.

Your recruitment spend has no correlation to your retention rates

Good recruitment is measured by how long the person stays and how well they perform - not by the speed of the initial placement. LCA Jobs' advice-led approach reduces the cost of bad hires by not making them.

How LCA Jobs places property candidates

Six recruitment capabilities built around 23 years of South East property sector knowledge.

LCA Jobs combines deep local market knowledge with a rigorous candidate registration process to deliver placements that last.

1

Consultative vacancy briefing

LCA Jobs invests time understanding your branch structure, culture, management style, and the specific behavioural profile of the person who will succeed in the role. More than a job description - a real understanding of who you need.

2

Face-to-face candidate registration

Every LCA Jobs candidate goes through a minimum one-hour face-to-face registration interview. Skills, experience, employment history, and personal motivations are all assessed before a candidate is introduced to any client.

3

Exclusivity on candidate attendance

In most cases, LCA Jobs obtains exclusivity on candidate attendance for client interviews - meaning the candidate is not simultaneously interviewing with your competitors. Higher quality, less wasted time.

4

Property sector coverage

Residential sales, lettings, property management, new homes and land, surveying and valuation, financial services, commercial property, and support and administration roles - across all stages of the residential property cycle.

5

Geographic coverage

Primarily South East England, with particular strength in Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, and London. LCA Jobs has been operating in this market since 2000 and knows the candidate pool intimately.

6

Interview training and candidate support

LCA Jobs provides interview preparation support for candidates they introduce. Better-prepared candidates perform better in interviews - reducing the risk of a good candidate performing poorly in a high-pressure situation.

Working with LCA Jobs on a recruitment instruction

From vacancy brief to shortlist - five steps.

LCA Jobs moves quickly on vacancies once they have a complete brief. An incomplete brief means wrong candidates.

1

Vacancy briefing

A detailed briefing call covering the role, package, branch culture, and the specific profile of the candidate who will succeed - not just the technical requirements but the behavioural and motivational fit.

2

Market mapping

LCA Jobs maps the candidate pool for the vacancy - active candidates from their database, passive candidates from their network, and any direct approach targets in the local market.

3

Candidate registration

Shortlisted candidates go through LCA Jobs' registration process - telephone screening followed by a one-hour face-to-face interview. Only candidates who pass both stages are introduced.

4

Shortlist presentation

A curated shortlist of matched candidates with a personal summary from LCA Jobs covering their assessment of each person's suitability, motivations, and fit for your specific branch.

5

Interview support and placement

LCA Jobs manages interview scheduling, candidate preparation, and the offer and counter-offer conversation. Post-placement follow-up is standard to protect the long-term success of the placement.
