Building New Recruiting Habits for 2022

by | Jan 13, 2022

In conjunction with Real Trends, I recently published a primer on how to build new recruiting habits.

The primer covers the topic in more detail than we normally address in Recruiting Insight.

As a quick overview, there are five important components for building new habits:

A Payoff: the clear and compelling payoff for making a change

Triggers: habits are activated by small events or stimuli

Micro-habits: change is more doable when it’s done in short and specific steps

Effective practice: to gain proficiency, each step must be practiced and measured

Plan for failure: failure and missteps are an inevitable part of building new habits–building a plan for reengaging when it happens keeps the overall mission moving

The Great Talent Reset

The talent playing field in the real estate industry has undergone a generational reset over the last four years. Three consecutive years of the fewest existing home sales since 1995, a 34% decline in transactions, and a resale turnover rate at a 40-year low have permanently altered the talent landscape. Brokerages still operating with a 2021 recruiting strategy are actively donating production to the competitors who have adapted. These changes are the topic of a new, must-read whitepaper we’re releasing today.
