Our process

What do you get from The Six-Step Search?

Real Estate Headhunters begins with the decisions behind your vacancy, not an advert. You get a clear brief, a mapped candidate pool and evidence from direct conversations. We help you distinguish an interested person from a qualified fit, then support interviews and the decision without promising a completion date.

1
Search Calibration
A brief that settles the operating problem, reporting line, location, compensation and who can approve the hire.
2
Market Mapping
A view of relevant working backgrounds, asset types and experience rather than a search based only on titles.
3
Professional Contact Intelligence
Direct ways to approach relevant people respectfully, without relying on applications or exposing a confidential vacancy.
4
Persistent Personalized Outreach
A conversation about your actual role, with follow-up that establishes whether a move is worth discussing.
5
Live Candidate Qualification
Evidence about responsibilities, relevant results, systems and the practical reasons someone would accept the move.
6
Candidate Intelligence and Process Support
A short list with context for interviews, objections and decisions, not a stack of unexplained resumes.

CAM has different meanings. NAA CAM is the Certified Apartment Manager credential. The Florida community association manager license is a separate license, cited here as an example of state licensing. In commercial budgets, CAM means common area maintenance. We check the credential or license relevant to the opening, where the state requires it.
