Investor-led headhunting involves a direct approach to placing candidates with proven skills. To attract the attention of consultants, one must possess the necessary qualities and leverage professional networks to maintain visibility. Vauban Executive Search identifies high-level profiles for its clients.
The qualities of a good investor
An investor handles the buying, selling, and renting of real estate, aiming for maximum profitability. The profession requires specific skills due to the inherent risks. A good investor , once identified by a headhunting specialist , will receive attractive offers, as this is a key position.
The ability to make the right decision at the right time is the primary quality of an investor. To achieve this, they must demonstrate both boldness and a responsible approach to risk. When making purchases, investors don't simply rely on real estate advice; they conduct their own research. Furthermore, curiosity remains essential for gaining a deeper understanding of the field and thus skillfully managing each transaction. A good investor will, for example, know how to effectively diversify their property portfolio and the regions they purchase. These skills naturally attract headhunters who target talented investors.
Headhunting: how to get noticed?
Today there are various ways to increase one's professional visibility, but fundamentally it is always necessary to build an active network.
You can therefore attend various trade shows for interesting networking opportunities, if you have the time. Otherwise, social networks such as Viadeo or LinkedIn remain good platforms for showcasing your skills and experience. However, be careful not to overdo it; simplicity and conciseness will make you more appealing. Another option is to upload your CV to dedicated platforms, but the downside is that you might go unnoticed due to the large number of candidates with similar specializations. Fortunately, it's possible to send your application to a recruitment agency through its website. This will have a better chance of being carefully reviewed.
In any case, you shouldn't expect an immediate placement upon contacting headhunters : while a high-level investor is certainly sought, the headhunter's primary focus is on the needs of their current client. Be sure to nurture your relationships while waiting for opportunities.
