In order to address exactly the potential new employees that you want for your company, the first step should be creating an applicant profile in as much detail as possible. Here you determine which competencies, soft and hard skills as well as training qualifications and previous experience your future colleagues should ideally demonstrate. After all, the requirements for a real estate consultant are sometimes significantly different from those for a team assistant. These considerations will help you to make a well-founded pre-selection when reviewing the later application documents. You also have the option of compensating for possible weaknesses in existing teams through a focused search for certain profile features. This way you create a practicable basis for the recruiting process of your real estate franchise company and you can start publishing your vacancies.
A lot has happened in the area of recruiting since the first franchise companies opened in Europe. Gone are the days when print ads dominated the application process - today you have the opportunity to address new employees in many different contexts, many of them purely digitally. For example, new real estate agents and other employees can be approached via job portals such as Stepstone or Indeed and social media networks such as Facebook or Xing. There are also opportunities in your private and professional context: Do you already know any successful real estate agents who you could convince to work with you? Or are you in contact with other companies that you would recommend as an employer? Depending on the situation and the available budget, you can also contact professional human resources agencies who will address the right candidates for you on the basis of your applicant profile - so you can individually weigh the way in which you want to design your recruiting process.
