There was a Financial Analyst posting for it few weeks back for their team. I actually phone interviewed for it. They were actually looking for two with one being a Senior guy. My impressions were even for the Analyst they wanted a very experienced guy. Asked me to send models I have created and also mentioned final round would be a 2 hour Argus test. Didn't get a 2nd round.
The team is very good, from what I understand JLL offered the analysts who worked for them double their yearly pay to stay so they could save some face (this is what I was told). The guys are all great guys and really experienced. My current boss started during the same time as Richard Baxter and Scott Latham and they actually worked together way back.
They are focusing on B office buildings specfically, as the A grade office buildings are largely dominated by C&W (with the move of Spies and Harmon from Eastdill). They should get a pretty good share of this business, JLL's team was a great producer last year if you look at the stats.
If you are interested in the job posting it is probably far too late because I know people have already gone through the Argus test and are presumably waiting to hear back in the next few days (or the next week).
I don't think anyone got the job cause I saw the posting again.
Any idea what the Argus test was like?
Colliers International (Originally Posted: 12/20/2017)
Can anyone tell me about Colliers International's reputation in NYC. Is it a good place to break into the industry? Are there a lot of big players working there. How do they structure their teams? Any insight would be appreciated!
I'm not in New York, but from what I understand, they aren't top five in sales or leasing.
Investment sales?
They "recently" poached JLL's office IS team.
interested as well
Can't speak to NYC, but I know in LA they do a lot more deals with HNW clients than institutions.
I've always thought of them as equal to Marcus & Millichap. They're not institutional focused the reputation solely depends on the team.
Colliers? (Originally Posted: 03/26/2016)
Does anyone have any thoughts on Colliers? Are they comparable to CBRE and Cushman?
No they are not.
Depends on the city you are in. Are you looking into office leasing, investment sales? Although the top brokerage houses are generally the top in each market, every market is slightly different. In my market, Colliers has a great reputation in office leasing.
Very market dependent but I would never compare them to an Eastdil or hff
Tell us what you mean by "comparable" and we can better answer the question. In terms of deal volume, Colliers is among the largest brokerage houses (#5 to be exact). Here is a link of the 2015 ranking by transaction volume.

Comparable with respect to appraisal and mortgage brokerage in New England.
In every single market I've worked in, Colliers is in a two-way fight with JLL for second after CBRE.
Like previous people have said it depends on the market and more importantly the broker. I am working for a very successful Investment Sales broker at Colliers who is the top in my market (secondary but large city) we consistently beat out CBRE and JLL for deals while Eastdil, Cushman, and HFF do not have a presence in my market. If someone is a great broker then all that matters is that you are under a national flag, the rest will come.
Anyone have insight into Colliers structured finance group in NYC? Seems small and run by Jeffrey Donnelly, looking up their closed deals seems to be nationwide and they're closing quite a lot.
Any insight would be appreciated, haven't heard much about them.
