Since 2005, we have specialised in property and construction recruitment, consistently placing high-calibre associates into consultancies. Our client base includes major global players in the consultancy market, as well as smaller firms with strong local profiles. At EC Property Recruitment, we take pride in our candidate journey, utilising a step-by-step approach that maximizes the likelihood of finding the right candidate — one who accepts the job offer and starts working with your company. Additionally, we provide recruitment strategies and salary benchmarking advice to our clients.
Consultancies are the primary destination for most of our candidates. Surveyors and Senior Surveyors often form the backbone of the team, with the potential for higher profitability due to their strong output and relatively lower salaries. In recent years, these levels have experienced significant salary increases as firms recognize the value of their fee income and face growing competition for these candidates. This trend is expected to continue.
There has been a shift in recent years, blurring the lines between newly qualified surveyors and those still on their APC journey. Many companies now acknowledge that candidates with over a years’ experience deserve more than a "Graduate Trainee" salary. It is now common for firms to account for a candidate's future qualification (within 6-12 months) and remunerate them accordingly.
Since our establishment in 2005, EC Property Recruitment has been providing entry-level staff to companies. We work with both smaller firms without formal graduate recruitment programs and larger firms requiring replacements, additional hires, or in response to market conditions. Our graduates undergo a rigorous selection process and follow the same candidate journey as their more experienced counterparts, ensuring you receive the highest calibre candidates.
