Looking to lateral into PERE

Looking to try to lateral into an acquisitions/PERE role in early 2024. How does the market currently look for hiring? Who are the more prominent headhunters for these roles? I know Select Leaders does job postings periodically, are there any other firms worth reaching out to? Or are these jobs sourced through relationships? Thanks

Based on the most helpful WSO content, the market for acquisitions and PERE roles can be quite dynamic, and it's essential to keep an eye on the hiring trends as early as possible when planning a lateral move. As of the information available, there isn't a specific update on the hiring outlook for early 2024, but generally, it's wise to start networking and building relationships well in advance.

For prominent headhunters, while specific names aren't mentioned in the context provided, it's common practice in the industry to use both job postings and headhunters. Relationships, however, are often key in the real estate sector, so it's beneficial to leverage any connections you have.

If you're looking for more detailed insights or specific headhunter recommendations, it might be useful to check out the WSO Company Database or engage in networking through the WSO forums and events. Additionally, the WSO Virtual Bootcamps could be a valuable resource to enhance your skills and make you a more attractive candidate for these roles.

Remember, the real estate market and hiring practices can vary greatly by region and firm, so tailor your approach accordingly. If you're targeting the United States - Northeast or Midwest, as mentioned in the context, it could be helpful to focus on networking events and firms that are active in those areas.
