THE REAL DEAL and KIPP GILLIAN: Who's hiring?

As the real estate industry continues to pull itself out of the recession, there’s been an increase in property trading and repositioning of buildings, said Kipp Gillian, president of Gillian Executive Search, a national recruiting firm that specializes in real estate development, construction management and related fields.

That’s led to more job openings in financial analysis and underwriting, a trend Gillian expects to continue in the New York market.

“The more transaction volume, the more these people are needed,” Gillian said...[...]

Social Media mean Responsibility not Magic

SOCIAL networking not so “SOCIAL”

It seems inevitable that the reliance on the internet to communicate would also weaken humanity’s daily interaction skills. Recruiting in Real Estate Development and Construction Management has been typically, over the years,been a very normal social experience. When I say “social” I mean hand shakes, phone calls, conversations. I do not mean “Lols”, emoticons and Linkedin/Facebook emails [...]

Rules of Conduct for 2012

Well 2011 is winding down and we are all very excited for a more robust 2012. That being said this recruiter had to put several candidates on suspension for behavior issues. So to hopefully get everyone in line we’re issuing our 2012 Code of Conduct for Candidates and Clients. Candidates NEVER go around your recruiter. [...]

Tanks for Nuttin!

That’s my best way of writing in a 1929 Great Depression era accent. “Tanks for Nuttin!” This is my rant towards Obama and all the misfits on Capital Hill that are so far gone and disconnected that they’re making a mockery of the foundations that made this nation great. We didn’t become the world super power (now slipping) by kissing butts and placating to every special interest group. This “American Jobs Act” is an absolute joke. Let’s be clear, I’m all for infrastructure jobs, teacher jobs and jobs for a men and women in the military but Obama and his band of political nimrods have clearly selected groups in order to get him elected [...]

The “you” in this title is everyone still struggling through this economy and the “me” is the economy. I felt this was a fitting title because the amount of calls we’ve been fielding for 3-4 years now from candidates that are racking their brains trying to figure out why they can’t find a job is staggering. They all call me with a sense of “Kipp! What’s wrong with me!”. They’re all shocked when I say “There’s nothing wrong with you” [...]

Are we there yet?

I’m the child in the back of the car that won’t stay quiet. I’m excited to end the longest backseat car ride I’ve ever been on. “ARE WE THERE YET” I’ve screamed over and over. The worst part is that I haven’t heard the driver say “YES, now hush!”. Instead I’m met with a quiet almost ignoring me response as if the driver isn’t quiet sure but is yet hopeful that a street sign will emerge soon alleviating the concern that we are lost[...]

Oh thank heaven for 2011
2011 – The year we get our jobs back?
That’s what we’re all hoping. I have to admit this whole situation has been rougher than I anticipated back in 2008 but in the past couple of months I’ve seen many positive indicators for 2011. It has fundamentals and structure that we just haven’t seen in 3 years. According to a few of our sources through KPMG and McGraw-Hill we find the following [...]

Suffrage
Suffrage
is a funny word because most people think “suffer” but it’s actually a word that means “Voting with an absolute purpose”. Our votes today hold a purpose with such weight that it’s sounding around the world as beacon of hope or dispare. I pray those that are elected do well by the people of the US [...]

The BRAIN TRUST
Things seem to be picking up, albeit very slowly. Still this is good news and we’re happy to see new clients and new opportunities that need to be filled. Those companies that are ready to hire should really take time to think about who they want to hire. Right now there is a massive brain trust filled to the hilt with senior executives in the 60+ years of age club. Many were looking to retire after 5 more years in the game but the Great Recession came along and prolonged a few of those “gone fish’n” plans [...]

Tipping Point
Tipping Point - The market seems to be getting better. The amount of "Potential" energy in the market is encouraging. Billions of dollars have been raised by large private REITS and pension and mutual funds and these dollars are just itching to be placed in the market.
