6 Habits of Recruitment Agencies That Succeed on CBREX

What do the most successful agencies on CBREX do differently?

It’s not just about submitting more profiles.
It’s about understanding better, engaging better and moving faster.

Here are 6 habits that make a difference:

‍

01 | UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU SOURCE

Take time to understand the role, research the requirement and study the sourcing guidelines,  including the Must-Haves, Strict No-Nos and additional guidelines.

If something isn’t clear, ask before you start searching.

Know what the client wants before you look for the candidate.

‍

02 | KNOW YOUR CANDIDATE WELL

Go beyond checking skills on a CV.

Understand the candidate’s motivation, compensation expectations, joining timeline, relocation willingness and genuine interest in the opportunity.

Know the candidate. Know the fit.

‍

03 | PRIORITISE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

More profiles don’t always mean better results.

Focus on submitting relevant, well-qualified candidates who genuinely match the requirement and have a strong chance of progressing.

Every submission counts.

‍

04 | SUBMIT EARLY

Timing matters.

Aim to share relevant profiles within 2–3 days of a role going live, giving your candidates a better chance of being reviewed and shortlisted early.

Be early. Stay ahead.

‍

05 | WORK ACROSS RELEVANT ROLES

Don’t limit yourself to a handful of opportunities.

Actively explore multiple roles that match your areas of expertise to increase your chances of finding the right candidate and making successful placements.

More relevant roles. More opportunities to succeed.

‍

06 | STAY ACTIVE & RESPONSIVE

Stay active on CBREX, check notifications regularly and respond quickly to messages and queries.

Use client feedback to improve future submissions and continuously strengthen the quality and relevance of your profiles.

Stay engaged. Learn. Adapt. Improve.
