Here's an article highlighting some of the success stories we have had since our national expansion in January. I hope it demonstrates how we work and why we could be the recruiter of choice for your business when you need us.?

This year deverellsmith has established itself as a leading recruitment agency in the property sector, successfully expanding its presence beyond London into key markets across the UK. With a growing footprint in cities and rural towns from Edinburgh to Truro, deverellsmith has proven its ability to deliver exceptional talent across a diverse range of roles. From senior executive positions to emerging sectors like PropTech, our expertise has been critical to our clients' success as the property industry continues to evolve.

Leadership Driving Expansion

deverellsmith’s successful expansion outside of London has been spearheaded by our Director, Nicola Broomham, a highly respected figure in the residential property sector. Nicola is well-known for her vast industry knowledge and influence, serving as the Chair of Women in Residential Property, a role that reflects her commitment to diversity and leadership within the sector. Under Nicola’s strategic direction, our expansion into regional markets has flourished. She is supported by a highly skilled team of recruiters who possess an unmatched network of contacts, backed by a robust database of 250,000 names. This expansive network allows us to identify and engage with the best talent, often through targeted headhunting, rather than waiting for candidates to apply.

A Trusted Partner for Senior Roles

One of the hallmarks of deverellsmith’s success has been our ability to fill high-profile, often confidential senior roles across the UK. Whether it’s an executive position in Edinburgh, a senior lettings role in Manchester, or a director-level appointment in The Cotswolds, Nicola and her team have consistently delivered results where other firms have fallen short. In several instances this year, Nicola has successfully filled placements that other companies struggled to complete. This success can be attributed not only to Nicola’s reputation and deep understanding of the market but also to deverellsmith’s industry-leading tools and approach to recruitment. When instructed on a vacancy, we utilise our extensive network and cutting-edge resources to actively seek out the right talent through headhunting, ensuring we find the perfect match for every role. We leave no stone unturned in our quest to find the best candidates, positioning us as a trusted partner for even the most challenging and niche recruitment needs.

Beyond Traditional Estate Agency Roles

In addition to our success in filling traditional property roles such as sales, lettings, and property management, deverellsmith has expanded into non-traditional sectors like facilities management, law, and fleet management among others. As the property sector evolves, we have demonstrated our ability to adapt and thrive by placing candidates in these vital but often overlooked areas, further cementing our status as a forward-thinking recruitment agency.

PropTech and AI

One of the most exciting developments in recent years has been the rise of the PropTech sector, which is transforming how properties are managed, bought, and sold. We have seen a significant uptick in demand for roles in PropTech, with more companies investing in digital and technological innovation to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape and therefore needing to increase their headcount. deverellsmith has positioned itself as a key player in this space, filling critical roles for forward-thinking, robust businesses that are shaping the future of property. As the PropTech market continues to grow, we expect even more opportunities to arise in the coming year. With our unique combination of industry expertise, extensive networks, and proactive recruitment strategies, we are well-placed to continue sourcing the best talent in this rapidly evolving sector.

Looking Ahead: A Bright Future

deverellsmith’s expansion beyond London has been a resounding success, and our future looks brighter than ever. Under Nicola Broomham’s leadership, we have proven our ability to fill senior, confidential roles and expand into new areas of recruitment. Our proactive approach to headhunting and our commitment to delivering top-tier talent have earned us the trust of clients across the UK. As we look ahead to the new year, we anticipate continued growth across all sectors, particularly in PropTech and other emerging areas of the property industry. deverellsmith’s ability to adapt to market trends and meet the needs of clients in both traditional and non-traditional roles ensures we remain a leader in the property recruitment sector. With Nicola’s guidance and our exceptional team of recruiters, deverellsmith is poised to continue delivering success stories across the UK.
