Associate on an investment sales team in Chicago that is hiring to bring on a new analyst, but we are discovering that there is a notable lack of strong candidates. This is making us wonder if Chicago ranks that far behind gateway markets like New York or LA. Has anyone else had this experience? Should we be trying to hire through our networks rather than LinkedIn/Indeed?
We do not have the JLL/CBRE name but do $1B+ in sales annually and only compete with the big 4 for deals, but for whatever reason we are getting resumes mostly from people that have no RE experience or are applying broadly because they are just looking for "a job".
How much does the role pay? Im interested in relocating to Chicago
Like most IS shops, low base ($50-60k) plus tips that range from 80-120% of base depending on transaction activity.
Yeah I’m curious about the comp on this one.
I’m finding it hard to believe that you guys are a solid team and not getting any candidates.
If I were you guys I’d just get HR or a headhunter to hit up your competitors at the JLL/CBREs to poach analysts or associates who haven’t been promoted for some reason. Pitch the better wlb, higher base, more opportunities to become a producers, etc. might still be hard to do but most people can’t tell how much volume a team actually does at the more junior levels. Makes sense you’re not getting a lot of traction if you’re an unknown shop. After a few people come over with the big 4 on their resume then it’d give future candidates in your network the confidence in your team/firm to make the jump as well
Appreciate the thoughtful response. I agree that poaching from one of the B4 is our best bet and I'll mention to HR that we should look into a recruiter to start that process.
