01 / The decision

What does this hire really come down to?

You face significant financial exposure when your corporate lease agreements do not align with current business operations or site utility requirements. We encounter hiring managers who struggle to audit complex landlord operating expense reconciliations accurately. Without a technical transaction manager, you risk overpaying on common area maintenance charges and tax pass-throughs. We focus on identifying individuals who audit these specific financial discrepancies before they hit your bottom line, ensuring your occupancy costs stay strictly within your enterprise capital expenditure forecasts.

You must decide between renewing existing locations or relocating business units based on shifting logistical needs and local zoning constraints. We interview candidates by asking how they evaluate floor plate efficiency and parking ratios for your specific medical or industrial sites. If a site lacks the physical capacity for your operational requirements, the lease becomes a liability regardless of the rent terms. We look for a decision-maker who validates building conditions and utility capacities against your specific corporate infrastructure standards.

Your internal legal team requires precise terms that mitigate corporate risk during every lease acquisition, disposition, or sublease scenario. We screen for individuals who understand how to translate your risk appetite into concrete contractual clauses during negotiations. This role requires managing external brokers and title companies to confirm that documentation matches your procurement policies. We ask candidates to describe how they verify zoning compliance and infrastructure readiness so your firm avoids expensive, forced property modifications after you sign the contract.

02 / Questions

What do we check before you see anyone?

  1. 01Can the candidate identify specific overcharge patterns in medical or industrial operating expense reconciliations to protect your portfolio's annual budget?
  2. 02How does the candidate verify that a site's parking ratios and physical infrastructure meet your firm's specific density requirements for operations?
  3. 03Does the candidate have a defined process for cross-referencing zoning ordinances with your operational needs before you commit to a site lease?
  4. 04How does the candidate manage multiple complex lease renewal timelines simultaneously while coordinating with your various regional corporate business stakeholders daily?
  5. 05Can the candidate demonstrate their experience utilizing enterprise lease administration software to track critical notification dates and avoid unfavorable automatic renewals?
  6. 06What steps does the candidate take to ensure that legal counsel includes necessary liability protections against hazardous materials in your industrial agreements?

03 / Context

Where do we find people who are not applying?

  • We identify candidates currently working within large internal corporate real estate departments, specifically those managing owned or leased portfolios for industrial, medical, and office occupiers. These professionals typically seek to move when they exhaust the opportunity to generate measurable cost savings through lease rationalization or when they desire to move from pure lease administration into broader transaction management. They are motivated by the chance to influence site strategy through rigorous financial data analysis rather than simply performing routine brokerage tasks.
  • We also source from facilities management service platforms where professionals oversee contract obligations for diverse regional corporate accounts. These individuals often transition to internal roles to achieve greater control over the full lifecycle of specific portfolio assets. They are looking for environments where they can directly apply their expertise in site benchmarking, operating expense auditing, and lease compliance. Their potential for relocation stems from a desire to move closer to an enterprise-level, long-term asset management strategy versus managing day-to-day service requests.

04 / Pitfalls

Which hiring mistakes should you avoid?

  • Over-relying on external brokerage teams for financial reporting without internal verification of occupancy cost data leads to significant, unbudgeted portfolio cash outflows.
  • Neglecting to perform deep due diligence on local zoning ordinances before finalizing site selections forces expensive, last-minute modifications to unsuitable properties.
  • Failing to reconcile actual operating expenses against initial lease estimates ensures that landlord errors remain hidden, increasing your firm's total cost of occupancy.

06 / Questions

What do owners ask before they hire?

What is the typical hiring timeline?

Timeline depends on the complexity of your specific portfolio and your immediate business needs. We provide weekly status updates on the candidate market to ensure you remain informed.

What happens if a candidate receives a counteroffer?

We address this risk by focusing on individuals who are motivated by the specific strategic challenges of your portfolio rather than just base compensation. We facilitate clear communication throughout the interview process to identify these underlying drivers.

How do you handle relocation or commute requirements?

We prioritize candidates currently residing within a commutable distance of your asset locations. Relocation assistance is discussed only when the candidate demonstrates unique expertise unavailable in your local market.

What is the scope of the assignment?

This engagement covers identifying and qualifying a transaction manager focused on your specific corporate asset portfolio. Additional assignments regarding other roles are handled through separate, customized search agreements.

When does the owner pay the hiring fee?

Our transaction management recruiting is a permanent contingency service without any required upfront costs for your organization. The specific fee amount and payment schedule for this search are formally outlined within our standard paperwork for your corporate team.

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.
