Our Property Management team:

The Property Management department was developed mid-2013 following investment from Hamilton Bradshaw to scale GKR. With GKR operating in Residential and Commercial Property for over ten years and having a team built around ex-property managers, estate agents and highly experienced recruiters, we have an incredibly impressive client base, and often we have access to candidates who aren’t actively looking in the market.

Our Property Management Clients

Senior Property Manager (HNW) - Exclusive Search

  • GKR was tasked with the exclusive search for a new Senior Property Manager to manage a prestigious central London Estate.
  • We approached our network for recommendations and presented a shortlist of five exclusive candidates within 8 days from instruction, all of whom came with references. 
  • We coordinated the interview process which involved various international interviewees, and the successful candidate was onboarded 6 weeks later. 

Elite Management Consultancy

5 x Safety Check Consultants; Exclusive & Retained

  • GKR was retained on an exclusive basis by the Director of the Knight Frank Promise department to secure multiple hires within an 8 week time frame.
  • We allocated a member of the property management team to work solely on these roles using market mapping and insights to create the short list.
  • We successfully presented 5 individuals for interview and this resulted in 5 fixed term placements being confirmed.
  • The retained search allows us to dedicate our time and entire focus until we fulfil the terms of our agreement and with multiple hires required in a short time scale it was the only method to ensure success.

Leading Integrated Facilities Consultancy

Senior Commercial Property Manager - Exclusive & Retained Search

  • GKR was retained on a search for a Senior Commercial Property Manager following several aborted searches over the course of a number of months.
  • Working on a role that has had significant exposure over an extended period of time required a fresh approach and a bespoke search.
  • We agreed a time frame to produce a short list and a strict timetable for 1st and 2nd interviews and the offer was issued and accepted within 6 weeks of the search commencing.
  • This 1st placement led to the client requesting 2 more retained senior hires and we successfully secured the placements of a Residential Asset Manager and a Senior Facilities Manager.
