What does a free talent snapshot give a property owner?
A talent snapshot is a short written view of where people who do your role work in your market, what kinds of employers hold them and what could make a move practical. It helps an owner decide whether to search, promote, post or adjust the role before committing time or budget.
We base it on the role and location you send, plus any context about the property. The snapshot does not name individuals or promise availability. It describes the likely source pool, factors such as commute or asset type that affect interest, and the points where your brief may need sharpening.
Owners use it in different ways. Some confirm that a search makes sense and send the role. Others discover the title they planned to use does not match the market, and adjust. A few find that the best answer is an internal promotion with support. Each of those is a useful result.
There is no fee and no obligation. A call is optional, and the snapshot arrives by email so you can share it with partners or an asset manager.
When is a snapshot most useful to an owner?
A snapshot helps most before a decision is locked in: when you are unsure whether to search or promote, entering a new market, renaming a role, or setting a pay range for the first time. It gives you an outside view of the market while changing course is still inexpensive.
It is less useful once a search is already under way, because the outreach itself produces more detailed market feedback. At that point, regular updates from the search replace the snapshot.
Owners with several openings sometimes request a snapshot for the hardest one first, then use what they learn to plan the rest.
The snapshot reflects conditions when it was written. Markets shift with new developments, ownership changes and local hiring by large operators, so a snapshot older than a few months is worth refreshing before a major decision.

A focused market view
The snapshot covers employer types, operating backgrounds and the job conditions that matter to people already working. It is not a list of private contact details or a promise that a named person is available. Include the property or portfolio scope, travel, reporting line and any confidentiality needs. We can explain where the brief is likely to fit the working market and which requirements may need discussion.
What should you ask before choosing a recruiting firm?
Will the snapshot include candidate names?
No. It describes the market and source employers in general terms. Names are shared only during an agreed search with candidate consent.
Can we request a snapshot for a confidential role?
Yes. Describe the role without identifying details if you prefer. We keep the request private.
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.
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.

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.
