GKR is fantastic at taking the hassle out of recruiting. They listen to what you’re looking for and only put forward candidates who fit the profile. All candidates come well briefed on the role, and with realistic expectations which is crucial.
Berkeley Group
GKR has filled a number of key positions across our offices in both direct sales and lettings support roles and continues to do so. With in-depth knowledge of the property industry, they have taken the trouble to gain a full understanding of how we service the sector and the unique qualities that our staff are required to possess. As a result, GKR thoroughly screened all candidates for us and they have the highest interview-to-offer ratio of any of our retained agents.

Common Questions
Our candidate shortlisting strategy involves a multi-faceted approach. We leverage our extensive professional network, utilize targeted job board postings, and employ social media channels to reach potential candidates. Additionally, we may use targeted approaches to attract qualified individuals who may not be actively seeking new opportunities.
We employ a thorough vetting process to ensure the credibility of candidates. This includes thorough interview processes with the GKR team, background and reference checks, verification of qualifications and professional experience, and, in some cases, skill assessments. Our goal is to present clients with candidates who not only meet the job requirements but also align with their company culture and values.
We offer after-care support to ensure a smooth transition for both the candidate and the client. This may include regular check-ins with both parties to address any issues that may arise during the initial period of employment. Our goal is to facilitate effective communication and address any concerns promptly, fostering a successful long-term placement.
Confidentiality is paramount in our operations. We have strict policies and procedures in place to safeguard both client and candidate information. Our team is trained to handle data securely, and we only share information with relevant parties involved in the recruitment process. We respect the confidentiality of our clients' business details and ensure that candidates' personal information is treated with the utmost care and privacy.
Our fee structure is transparent, and the candidate acquisition fee is the primary cost associated with our services. We can also provide additional supplementary services such as market mapping exercises, branded marketing campaigns, or data trend reporting, to tailor to bespoke needs and support our clients' talent acquisition strategies.
