Many real estate companies and teams approach recruiting serendipitously.

Hiring managers are great at closing the opportunities that happen to come along, but very few develop an end-to-end system that produces predictable recruiting results.

Like any other business process in your office (ex. getting a real estate transaction closed), an effective recruiting system will have defined components.

Here are the common components of successful recruiting systems:

  1. Abundant Prospects
  2. Thoughtful Interviews
  3. Persistent Follow-Up
  4. Purposeful Onboarding

Do a quick inventory of your recruiting process.

Are these components clearly defined?  

Do you have a way of measuring the effectiveness of each component?

It’s not that people with a growth mindset don’t experience failure—they just see failure as an opportunity to learn new things, to be challenged, and to experience curiosity. This is an important topic to cover during interviews and follow-up conversations with your prospects. If you find someone who likes being measured, you’ve likely found someone who will push through the inherent failures of growing a real estate business and experience long-term success.
