We said it and now the Los Angeles Times says it:

I'm Kipp Gillian and I'm the owner of Gillian Executive Search, Inc. here in Los Angeles. We focus entirely on real estate development and construction management recruiting across the nation. The LA Times wrote a very pin-point article today that I applaud ( read here ). Though this article reflects the past 2 years of conversations I've been having with both Clients and Candidates. The Bay area is exploding and real estate developers are all looking for the same in house construction talent. The local General Contractors are fighting for almost exactly the same candidate profile. It's a stalemate that can only be blamed on bench strength. It's not just the field construction worker. This drought of human capital goes all the way up to the Vice President level. The good news is that wages are inching up because of this demand. The bad news is that clients want the same local talent they're accustomed to. What we will begin seeing is recruiting across state boarders because that's where the talent fled in the first place.

OBAMA Cometh and he taketh away

Well, we’ve been watching commercial after commercial for months now and though we are all happy to see an end to the endless array of Propositions and Candidates I for one wish the fight for the Presidency was still going on. I no longer feel that we are a country heading in the wrong direction I now feel we are firmly down the path of the wrong direction and ran out of popcorn to find our way back. I pray that Obama has a vision different from whatever this last 4 years was. I hope he sees the need to embrace and help the private sector. No “bridge and roads” program is going to help middle America. You can hire a million teachers and will have zero effect on those millions of professional citizens who have watched their salaries disappear all together or be cut in half. Obamacare will reduce the healthcare quality in this nation and will make it even harder to get the best treatment possible. I am still in shock that Romney lost. Such a good guy and a brilliant business man. We so needed that shot in the arm. I’m not coming at this from a Republican stance. I’m just being a thoughtful citizen…Obama is an awful choice and has proven his inefficiency time and time again. I guess I’m the running back in the big game that fumbled in the last second on the one yard line. The game is over and everyone has gone home but I’m still on the field running that play over and over again wonder “How did I let that happen”. Construction and Development jobs have been slowly returning to the market thanks to private money (with no thanks to this Administration). We have seen a spike in the need for Architects as well. 2013 should be an ok year…it just would have been dynamic with a change in the oval office.

VOTEExecutive Recruiter in Real Estate, Construction Recruiter

“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” Cicero – 55 BC

Wow, I mean over 2000 years ago they were warning of this in ROME. Now the US reads almost the same way. I don’t care whether you are a Republican or a Democrat the fact is our nation is disappearing. We are selling out to every politician that needs another vote. This...[READ MORE]

LINKEDIN, Facebook etc: Just a quick tip from my desk. I know these days there are plenty of connections made on Social Networks but receiving emails on multiple e-mail platforms is a massive pain for a recruiter and other professionals. If you want to send an email please send it directly and avoid using these mediums when possible.

Anyone that’s working hard all day is paying attention to their Outlook or similar main email platform. They do not want to click links to see messages and jump from their work to a website to see what you sent them. It’s ok to “connect” but please send any email directly to them IF you feel it’s important. I have people trying to apply to jobs by posting “comments” and though we appreciate the effort odds are we might miss that because we are busy fielding emails through our Outlook. So help yourself by staying in the MAIN STREAM of communication. Good communication starts by calling or direct email whether you are reaching out to us or anyone else that you really want to get in touch with.

WHERE ARE WE?

Just a quick note to answer a lot of questions in the world of executive recruiting for Real Estate, Construction, Architecture, Development and Accounting & Finance. We turned the corner! We have been very busy here working on positions from San Francisco, to Los Angeles, to Dallas, to Indianapolis and more. The searches have included construction, acquisitions, development, architecture, accounting, property management and analyst positions of every level. We haven't seen a critical mass yet, meaning not every company is competing for the same personnel but what we have seen is a bruised and battered talent bench. Talent has been widely dispersed and it quite hard in some markets to find viable candidates. Some are happy where they are but many are worn down by the stress of the past 4 years. So to those candidates that are worried about making a change I can confidently say "It stopped raining....come out and play!"

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...[...]
