We are having the same conversation with clients across real estate, property, construction and corporate support right now:
“We’re getting plenty of applications… but where are the quality candidates?”
On the surface, the talent pool looks bigger than ever. CVs are polished. Cover letters are tailored. Application numbers are high.
But more applications doesn’t mean more capability.
With AI tools and one-click applications, candidates can apply for dozens of roles in minutes. It’s never been easier to look impressive on paper. The problem? We’re not hiring paper — we’re hiring performance.
Hiring managers are spending more time filtering and second-guessing. Recruitment timelines stretch. Teams carry the load longer.
It’s especially evident in support roles — Administration, EA/PA, Marketing, Leasing and Compliance. These aren’t “back office” anymore. They’re performance drivers. They protect service standards and enable growth.
And in real estate and property, success requires more than technical skills. It demands resilience, communication, compliance awareness, time management and emotional intelligence — qualities that don’t always show up on a well-written CV.
So how do you recruit through the noise?
The businesses winning right now have moved away from “post and hope.”
They screen beyond the resume to assess real capability.
They move quickly and decisively.
They craft clear messaging that attracts aligned candidates — not mass applicants.
And most importantly, they focus on relationships.
Many of the strongest candidates aren’t actively applying. They’re performing well where they are — but open to the right opportunity.
At Temp Talent, we help both sides cut through the noise. We connect businesses with experienced professionals who can genuinely contribute from day one, and we support candidates with insight and opportunities that truly fit.
Because in this market, it’s not about more volume.
It’s about precision.
