*July Placements* As the “Go-To Recruiter in Real Estate”, our clients span multiple facets within the industry. We were entrusted to find and place a phenomenal Director of Marketing for a top ranked team at Compass. We also had the pleasure of working with a real estate investment firm with offices in Shanghai and New York, and successfully placed a multi-lingual, uber-talented real estate investor relations associate. How we found the talent? The first, through our trusted partner, LinkedIn, and the second, we reached out to a candidate we met with many years ago who we thought would be a perfect fit for the role. The advantage of working with a recruiter is that we maintain relationships with both the clients and the candidates. Our hyper-focused and personalized meeting process is NEVER “one and done” ✅

Your PTO is yours! Personal Time Off Don’t ignore it. Have a team mate answer your emails. Don’t work while on vacation. With the wonderful evolution of technology, we have become connected more than ever. In fact, the expectation is now that if one receives an email, even if on the other side of the world, they should at some point “check in” and answer. This may be a controversial opinion, but I’m of the mindset that vacation should be a time to fully be off. One should be able to set up systems and coverage where all emails are answered, no client call gets missed, and projects move ahead as they should. What do you think? Should vacation be a time to disconnect fully? Answer emails a few times during the week? Or check in daily?

The Paris Olympics showcased the epitome of sportsmanship with elite US athletes like Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles bowing down to Brazil's Rebeca Andrade in a display of grace and respect this week, after she won Gold. These athletes serve as shining examples of perseverance and humility in the face of competition. Reflecting on these stories, it's inspiring to apply the lessons of teamwork and resilience to real life, especially when guiding our children through challenges. As my daughters navigate different sports camps this week, one facing familiar friends at Cheer Camp and the other unfamiliar territory at Basketball Camp, I'm reminded of the valuable lessons sports teach us. Here are some of the things I've shared with my kids: ~You’re going to work on teams that won’t always gel. This is life. ~There will be others that you may not like, that may be on the court or in your work place! You can’t always have the perfect team or perfect job, but you don’t just quit because of that. ~Talent is a small part of winning. The bigger part is practice and your effort.  ~The more you do something, the easier it becomes. When you do it over and over and over, you feel more confident. Let's celebrate the dedication and spirit of all athletes, paving the way for future generations with their unwavering determination and sportsmanship. #Sportsmanship #Teamwork #Resilience #ParisOlympics #AthleteInspiration

Yesterday’s Tuesday Tip about maintaining a healthy workplace got a lot of people talking. So it got me to thinking, how do you know if you’re the toxic one at work? As a recruiter, I hear both sides of the story. Employers who vent about employees being entitled, uncaring, lazy, and sometimes incompetent. And employees who complain about petty office politics, mean girl/mean boy drama, bosses who give no direction, passive/aggressive messaging, and lack of boundaries in off hours. While both sides may have merit at times, I do see some areas where there is a lack of understanding and a chance for rehabilitation. After all, you liked each other when you interviewed. We can fix those minor issues. Some notes below: 📈Employers: Understand that your employee is working hard. Often times we don’t realize how much time a task may take and have unrealistic expectations. 💼Employees: log your tasks/time spent on them. 📈Employers: Have clear directives for your employees. If you don’t like the way something is done, be specific as to what you want/need. 💼Employees: don’t take direction or criticism personally. Identify your common goal and ask questions so you can hone in on producing a favorable outcome. 📈Employers: Respect your employees’ time. Everyone deserves to recharge their batteries at the end of the day and having your staff stretched so thin can only go so far. When your employee expresses concern, listen to them. Everyone works better when they can rest and refuel. 💼Employees: Work efficiently. I sometimes hear people complain about being overworked yet they will spend 30 minutes chatting with a colleague or on a call. If you do work overtime, talk to your boss about recouping some of that time when the project is over. Most problems can be solved with honest and clear communication. I don’t think the solution is always quitting or firing someone. Fixing it is cost effective and creates long term personal and professional growth!
