Working For You
Rae Russell recognises the importance of having the right people working in your business to collectively achieve your organizational goals. Rae’s recruitment strategy is to take a proactive approach to have up-to-date intelligence on the best talent available in the marketplace.
Rae engages in both Proactive and Reactive recruitment; a strategy that reflects the fact that we live in an economy where competition to hire the best people is far greater than it used to be. Talent is the lifeblood of your business; constant effort needs to be applied to attracting the best.

Job Seekers
Getting your resume right
Your resume is the first impression you make on a recruiter or hiring manager, so your success in the job market relies heavily on getting this important document right. A well-structured and succinct resume will not only demonstrate your skills and experience but will also act as a marketing tool, promoting your personal brand to prospective employers. The goal of a resume is to impress the recipient enough to book you for a job interview.
The Job Interview
Interviews can be life-changing events, which is why many job seekers experience anxiety and nervousness. To help boost your confidence and soothe any pre-interview nerves, we recommend you review the job description and research the company and person you're interviewing with. Familiarise yourself with their clients, their company values and any recent work. Prepare some questions to ask during the interview and always arrive on time.

This person is the first point of contact for the business.

Almost every real estate agency, as well as running a sales division, incorporates a property management department into the business. The property manager is responsible for (as the name suggests) ‘managing’ a portfolio of rental properties. Usually, these properties are predominantly residential however commercial properties may form part of the portfolio.
Business Development Manager
These professionals are responsible for developing and implementing strategies to attract and retain clients, grow business and ultimately generate revenue. Their key focus is on sales, marketing and building relationships with property owners and investors.

The mindset of the ‘candidate’ has also evolved in line with marketplace changes. The reality of most agencies is that the best talent is happy and being well looked after in their current employment. They are not considering a move, let alone actively applying for roles, because they don’t need to. However, it is what Rae Russell Consulting does with them during this period that is more likely to see them join your company when they do ultimately change jobs.
Rae Russell Consulting’s recruitment strategy is proactive and puts the candidate experience at the heart of the process. By creating a bank of top tier talent we can minimise the unnecessary and expensive cost of recruitment. Building relationships over long periods of time with targeted talent is her focus; regardless of the time it may take to secure your next top recruit.
