How Can My Estate Agent Skills Transfer to Recruitment?

If transferred successfully, your skills developed in real estate can result in high earnings! Some recruitment skills are honed over time, but starting off on the right foot is key… and that’s easier when your skills are transferable! 

Key transferable Estate Agency skills: 

• Communication skills: Speaking to customers all day, and using your skills to be persuasive and informational. Working with people constantly, and being approachable. Actively listening to your customers, appreciating the bigger situation and balancing your communication skills - the listener and the informer.  
• Emotional intelligence: You can read the room, understand what your customers want and know when to push and when to leave them to think. Awareness is vital… approaching customers at the perfect time, suggesting products after speaking to the customer, and generally understanding what the people want.  
• Competitiveness: Being constantly focused on goals and targets - giving the job everything you have and out-working everyone else. You’ll be a self-starter, able to motivate yourself and be opportunistic in most circumstances. Wanting to be the best at what you do is a great trait to have... 
• Emotional intelligence: You can read the room, understand what your customers want and know when to push and when to leave them to think.
