01 / The decision

What does this hire really come down to?

When your multi-tenant office building hits a mechanical snag, does your current manager solve it or just forward the tenant complaint? We see many owners stuck with staff who cannot decipher central plant logs or manage vertical transportation vendors effectively. Before we begin our search, we need to know exactly which technical systems your team must troubleshoot. Your building needs someone who speaks the language of complex mechanical infrastructure and understands the urgency of keeping your common areas fully operational.

Financial accuracy is the heartbeat of your asset. Do you rely on your manager to catch vendor billing errors, or do you find yourself recalculating common area maintenance (CAM) recoveries every year? We define this role by your need for someone who tracks utility consumption versus actual tenant usage to prevent budget drift. We start our search by identifying how much financial responsibility you are ready to delegate. You need a partner who ensures every recovery calculation aligns perfectly with your leases.

Effective office management hinges on rigorous vendor control and proactive site inspections. When you walk your lobby or parking structure, do you see the maintenance standards you pay for, or are you pointing out issues that should have been caught days ago? We look for candidates who treat your capital expenditures as their own through detailed audits and maintenance schedules. We want to know which specific operational risks you need this person to mitigate the moment they start.

02 / Questions

What do we check before you see anyone?

  1. 01We evaluate if they possess the technical ability to interpret central plant telemetry and identify mechanical inefficiencies before a tenant service request arises.
  2. 02We verify their experience in conducting annual common area maintenance (CAM) reconciliations to confirm they can accurately allocate expenses across your multi-tenant office building lease structures.
  3. 03We confirm their capability to enforce BOMA standards for measuring rentable and usable square footage to ensure your billing is accurate and defensible.
  4. 04We screen for their experience managing service contracts including vertical transportation and fire safety to minimize downtime during busy business hours.
  5. 05We validate their process for ensuring all tenant certificates of insurance are current and compliant with specific lease requirements before permitting any work.
  6. 06We examine their track record in handling property tax appeals and justifying valuation changes using actual operating data from your specific asset performance.

03 / Context

Where do we find people who are not applying?

  • Individuals with this specific operational background typically come from commercial property management firms handling portfolios of office buildings. They often seek new roles when their current portfolio changes ownership or when they hit a ceiling regarding the complexity of the assets they manage. We look for professionals who understand the nuances of corporate tenant relations and have been responsible for buildings in high-density metro environments.
  • We also source talent from larger real estate investment trusts where they have managed multiple multi-tenant assets simultaneously. These professionals often move when they want to shift from high-volume administrative focus to a role requiring deeper involvement in site-level engineering and vendor oversight. These candidates understand how to apply institutional property standards to your specific office environment. They seek opportunities where they can apply their knowledge of building systems and financial recovery processes directly for the property owner.

04 / Pitfalls

Which hiring mistakes should you avoid?

  • Hiring based on general administrative experience rather than direct technical knowledge of central plant systems and multi-tenant billing creates immediate financial exposure for owners.
  • Overlooking the necessity of BOMA measurement proficiency leads to inaccurate tenant recovery billing and avoidable disputes during your annual reconciliation audit process each year.
  • Accepting a candidate who lacks experience managing complex third-party vendor relationships for life safety systems puts the building at risk of significant operational failure.

05 / Next steps

Your search in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Define Technical Scope

    We identify which specific HVAC and vertical transportation systems reside in your building to ensure the candidate has direct experience troubleshooting those exact makes and models.

  2. 2

    Establish Financial Controls

    We review your current budget variance reporting requirements and common area maintenance (CAM) recovery processes to confirm the candidate can produce accurate financial data without your direct assistance.

  3. 3

    Verify Vendor Management

    We verify the candidate knows how to hold elevator and fire safety contractors accountable to service level agreements during peak building usage and high-pressure situations.

06 / Questions

What do owners ask before they hire?

How long will this search take?

The timeline depends on how specific your requirements are for building systems and financial oversight. We provide weekly status reports so you always know our progress.

What happens if my preferred candidate receives a counteroffer?

We focus on candidates who are looking to leave their current role because of a lack of operational autonomy or growth in asset complexity. This intrinsic motivation makes them significantly less likely to accept a counteroffer based on current compensation.

How do you ensure this person fits our specific building?

We prioritize candidates who have successfully managed buildings with similar systems and tenant profiles to your own. You will interview only those who have demonstrated experience handling your specific property challenges.

What is the fee structure for this service?

This engagement is a permanent contingency placement with no upfront fees charged. You pay only if you hire a candidate for your office, with terms set in your signed client recruiting agreement.

Can you handle other assignments?

Yes, we handle various commercial property management roles for office, retail, and mixed-use assets. Simply let us know the unique demands of your property and we will start the process.

When do we pay the recruiting fee?

No upfront fee. You pay only if you hire under the standard contingency agreement. The signed agreement sets the terms; read the fee page before authorizing the search.

How long does it take to see a short list?

The scope of the job, candidate availability and your interview decisions affect the search. We explain the market response and agree next steps rather than promise a numeric deadline.

What if our chosen candidate gets a counteroffer?

We ask about the reasons for a move before an introduction. You still need a clear offer and an honest account of the job; an increase in pay alone may not resolve why someone considered leaving.

What are the replacement terms?

We offer a candidate replacement guarantee on standard search agreements. The applicable period and exact terms are set out in the signed client recruiting agreement.

What do you not do?

We do not sell job-board reposting or send an unqualified resume stack. Standard permanent search is not hourly consulting or a retained assignment. Different engagements require agreed terms.
