The work
Commercial Real Estate

A niche role, open for months, closed inside a 30-day deadline.

A national commercial real estate firm needed a Senior Project Manager for advanced manufacturing and mission-critical work, in a secondary market without a deep talent pool for that specialty. The role had been open for several months with multiple agencies competing on the same requisition and no close. The client had committed to its own customer to have the account staffed within 30 days, and the vacancy had escalated to senior leadership who do not normally get involved in a single hire. It was high-pressure and high-visibility.

The strongest candidate for this role had no resume and was not looking. A search that waits for applicants never finds them.

Commercial Real Estate

A happy, settled leader who was not looking. A role built around the conversation.

A global commercial real estate firm engaged us to fill a VP-level role in lease administration. The strongest prospect for it was not a candidate in any conventional sense: over a decade in their current role, equity in the business, recently promoted, settled in the work, and not open to recruiters. Their professional profile was nearly empty. By most measures this was not a person a search would reach.

They were not looking for a job. They were missing a north star. A search finds what they could not name.

Placements that last

Three senior leaders. One client. Still in role.

A Director of Development and Legal Affairs, a Director of Operations, and a Corporate Controller. All three are still in their roles, still performing, still in role. When we founded 24 Hour Search, this client chose to move their business with us. Placements that last are what earn the next search.
