A real estate recruiter is responsible for seeking out and recruiting new agents to join a real estate team. Depending on the needs of the real estate company, your responsibilities in this career may include finding candidates to fill a variety of positions in the company, such as a mortgage professional. A real estate recruiter may meet one-on-one with a candidate, attend events like real estate mixers and open houses, or take advantage of other lead sources. You should follow the company’s prospecting systems during the recruitment process and utilize any services that can help you find the best candidates. Once you connect with ideal candidates through phone calls or emails, your duties may include reviewing the candidate’s backgrounds before referring them to a hiring manager. Sometimes real estate recruiters are responsible for checking out competitor offerings to determine a salary for prospective employees.
