Dear Valued Clients
Dear valued clients,In recent weeks, we have been actively providing valuable content to our candidates, assisting them in building stronger relationships with themselves, recruiters, and employers. However, it's important to remember that this is just one side of the equation. We would like to share five ways in which you can support us in helping you achieve your goals.1.) Recognise that young professionals who switch jobs are not necessarily "job hoppers." They are simply exploring their options and finding their footing. It's essential to consider the bigger picture, especially given that between March 2020 and December 2020 alone, 825,000 people in the UK lost their jobs. A CV doesn't always convey the full story.2.) When engaging with candidates, it is crucial to present your best offer promptly. Candidates dislike being strung along, and with each passing day, their interest in your company diminishes. We frequently receive feedback from candidates who have had excellent interviews and are excited about potential opportunities, only to find themselves waiting for weeks without an offer. Rest assured that they will be exploring other possibilities during this time.3.) Rejecting candidates is a natural part of the process, but it's important to do so in a timely manner. Offering constructive advice on how they can improve for their next interview is a valuable gesture. By doing so, candidates will appreciate that you took their time seriously and provided guidance for their professional growth.4.) Place trust in your recruiter. If you have a dedicated recruiter who consistently seeks feedback, provides feedback, requests additional roles to work on, and follows up on previous placements, it demonstrates their commitment. While you are not obligated to interview every candidate we recommend, please consider our enthusiasm for a particular individual, as it may align with your own impressions.5.) Maintain availability and open lines of communication. The confidence to reach out to your client and knowing that they will respond promptly can make a world of difference. Showing appreciation and support to your recruiter will result in increased candidate flow, more interviews, and successful placements.Thank you for considering these suggestions. By working together, we can foster stronger collaborations and achieve mutual success.

5 Signs it's Time for a Change
Recognising the need for a change in your life is essential for personal growth and overall well-being. Here are five indications that it may be time to embrace a new chapter:Clock watching: When you're engrossed in meaningful and fulfilling activities, you tend to lose track of time effortlessly. However, if you find yourself constantly watching the clock and eagerly counting down the minutes until the day ends, it could be a sign that you're craving something more fulfilling and engaging.Experiencing the Sunday blues: While it's natural to wish for an extended weekend after an enjoyable time with loved ones, consistently feeling a sense of dread on Sunday evenings, accompanied by an overwhelming reluctance to face Monday morning, may indicate a deeper dissatisfaction with your current situation.Neglected social life: Feeling trapped or unhappy in your job can seep into other areas of your life, including your social interactions. If you frequently decline invitations to spend time with friends or participate in activities outside of work due to exhaustion, stress, or a lack of motivation, it might be a clear signal that a change is needed.Persistent frustration with colleagues: Interactions with coworkers can occasionally lead to frustration, but if these feelings become a regular occurrence, it could be an indication that your current work environment is no longer a good fit. Consistently experiencing discontentment or difficulty collaborating with colleagues suggests that a change of scenery might be beneficial.Escaping through bingeing: When confronted with unresolved issues or dissatisfaction, it's common to resort to distractions as a way to avoid addressing them directly. Whether it involves excessive eating, drinking, or binge-watching TV shows or online content, relying on these activities to escape from reality may indicate that you're using them as a coping mechanism rather than addressing the underlying problem.If any of these signs resonate with you, it may be the right time to consider making a change in your life. If you'd like to discuss your situation further, feel free to reach out to us via email at lewis@genum.co.uk or by phone at 020 3771 4148. We're here to support you in your journey towards a more fulfilling and satisfying path.

5 Indicators that Property Might Be the Right Fit for You
5 Indicators that Property Might Be the Right Fit for YouChoosing a career is akin to selecting your favourite song, influenced by context, timing, and your surroundings, all of which evolve as you progress through life. Setting a definitive goal or path for yourself is often challenging, if not unattainable. Here are five signs that suggest you could excel as a property agent:Natural affinity for conversing with strangers: Do you frequently find yourself striking up meaningful conversations with unfamiliar individuals? Whether it's at a pub, while chatting with a friend of a friend, in line at Tesco, or even at a bus stop, if you possess this skill, you might be exceptionally adept at helping these strangers find their ideal home or apartment.Strong organisational skills: While managing your personal life can be demanding, if you effortlessly handle your responsibilities and achieve most of what you set out to do, a career in property could prove highly rewarding for you. Having a well-planned and executed schedule is immensely beneficial.Sociable nature: Estate agency work requires diligent effort, but it also offers ample opportunities for rewarding experiences. If you relish the idea of team outings, work gatherings, award ceremonies, monthly meetings, dinners at restaurants, and the occasional voucher, this profession is tailor-made for you.Inquisitiveness and a touch of curiosity: It pays to be naturally curious. Have you ever wondered what the interiors of those prestigious properties in Mayfair look like? Well, as a property agent, you can actually get paid to explore and inspect them. London's property portfolio boasts some of the world's most coveted and exclusive homes, and they could be within your reach.Embrace the outdoors: While there will be phone calls and administrative tasks, working in real estate allows you to spend a significant portion of your day outside, exploring the best that London has to offer. Top agents fill their schedules with property viewings, which means they are away from their desks and actively getting their steps in!If you're interested in discussing some of the most exceptional job opportunities currently available, please feel free to reach out to lewis@genum.co.uk

5 Strategies to Ace Your Interview
5 Strategies to Ace Your InterviewInterviews, the inevitable encounters that can inspire both excitement and anxiety. They serve as the gateway to our dream jobs, and although they may seem daunting, they're essentially just conversations with strangers. To give yourself an edge and secure that coveted position, here are five effective tips: 1. Showcase your personality beyond work: Nowadays, many hiring managers value candidates with the right blend of skills and character. Don't hesitate to share your passions and interests outside of work—it helps create a well-rounded impression.2. Ask thoughtful questions: While you may be the one under scrutiny, remember that interviews are also an opportunity for you to learn. Inquire about the interviewer's experiences, their career trajectory, and gain insights into the company. This not only displays your engagement but also provides valuable information about the organisation you might join. 3. Discuss relevant readings: Companies often maintain news or blog sections on their websites, keeping you informed about their recent activities. Bring up a topic or article that caught your attention, as it can serve as a launching pad for further discussion and demonstrate your proactive approach. 4. Embrace brevity when appropriate: While it's valuable to express yourself in detail, there are instances where a concise response can effectively convey your message. Don't shy away from providing a succinct answer when it appropriately captures the essence of your story.5. Master your body language: Nailing this aspect can be challenging, but it's essential for conveying engagement and enthusiasm. Sit up straight, maintain a friendly smile, establish eye contact, and use subtle hand gestures to demonstrate your active participation.By implementing these strategies, you'll enhance your interview performance, leaving a lasting impression and increasing your chances of securing that coveted job offer.

What is the Postcode of Life?
What is the Postcode of Life?I have personally found the hardest questions to ask myself when looking to make a change in my career are…What do I want from my life and career?Am I going to accept what I have or aim for the stars?Do I really know what my goals are to get me to that dream?With 20 years’ experience in two different industries and now a third, I can honestly say if it wasn’t for close friends, family, and a persistent recruiter, Zak James (Genum’s founder), I would not know what I wanted from my life or career other than the classics...health, wealth and happiness.One of my favourite quotes from the fun family movie A Knights Tale, when William Thatcher asks his father “can someone change their stars?”. John Thatcher says “Yes, if he believes enough, a man can do anything!'We mostly commonly accept the position we have, without asking for more or taking that risk in the hopes of finding something more fulfilling or more successful. To quote one of the GREATEST SPORTS MAN we all know and love… Michael Jordan said, “we miss 100% of the shots we do not take.”For those of you looking for a passion rather than a role, using the skills you have already acquired. My bother Richard Janes would say “passion is a product of action”.I have had many debates with my brother on this and whilst I don’t want to say that he is right. In my action of joining Genum Recruitment and planning out where I want to be in 5-10 years, I have made a plan to get me to my dream and in doing so I have found a passion for creating opportunities for people.If you want to ask yourself the real question…what do I want? Or even if you want to explore the options on the market. Reach out to me and the team here at Genum, we specialise in everything property related, from accounts to acquisitions, client relations to negotiators, management to C-level positions.Let's make your dreams a reality together.

How to Maximise Your Experience with a Recruiter
How to Maximise Your Experience with a RecruiterNavigating the job market can be an overwhelming experience, but working with a skilled recruiter can alleviate some of that stress. However, achieving success requires a commitment from both sides. Here are five essential tips to help you get the most out of your recruiter and secure your dream job.Build a Personal Connection: Remember that recruiters are humans too, with lives beyond their work. A good recruiter will make an effort to get to know you, so reciprocate that effort. By building a personal connection, you'll be surprised by the level of commitment and dedication your recruiter will show.Embrace Honesty: If you had a less-than-ideal interview, a family emergency that prevents your attendance, or any doubts or concerns, be open and honest with your recruiter. Their job is to make the process as smooth as possible for you, and the more information they have, the better equipped they are to assist you.Hold Your Recruiter Accountable: Just like any decent professional, recruiters strive for personal and professional growth. However, they are not immune to making mistakes. If you feel that something went wrong or could have been handled better, communicate your concerns to your recruiter. They will appreciate your feedback and rise to the challenge of rectifying any issues.Share Comprehensive Information: The primary goal of a recruiter is to present you as the ideal candidate to potential employers. The more your recruiter knows about you, both in terms of your professional achievements and personal attributes, the better they can highlight your strengths and make you shine in front of clients.Trust in the Process: A flourishing relationship between a recruiter and a candidate is built on trust. At Genum, we are committed to going the extra mile to help our candidates secure their desired jobs. In return, we ask for your trust.

Strong Leadership
Strong LeadershipRecently I found myself in the rather unusual position of meeting with my current CEO and a previous CEO. I’m curious to know how many people have been in this situation! I found it fascinating to reflect afterwards on their strengths and leadership styles, both similar and yet, at the same time, very different. Watching them talk over lunch was somewhat surreal, but I had to remind myself I am fortunate to have worked with some very talented leaders in my career so far.I’ve also had to lead departments in the past, and I am well aware of the difficulties in managing multiple personalities, particularly in a sales environment. One of my old managers constantly reminded me that the best salespeople were the hardest to manage!It’s interesting how outstanding leadership can inspire an employee in different ways. Every individual is unique in what makes them tick, and a leader who motivates all kinds of people can run a successful business. I’ve worked with some influential leaders during my career in property and recruitment, and I genuinely believe that good leadership can really make your time at a company.There are various styles of leadership; six common ones are:Transformational Leadership- We’ve likely all been in a group situation where someone took control, communicating with the group and creating a shared vision. Creating unity, developing bonds, creating energy, and instilling passion. This person is very likely to be considered a transformational leader.Delegative Leadership- Often referred to as “laissez-faire,” a delegative leadership style focuses on delegating initiative to team members. This is generally known as one of the least intrusive forms of leadership; this translates to “let them do.” Authoritative Leadership- Leaders who adopt this style consider themselves mentors to their followers. Not to be confused with authoritarian leadership, authoritative leadership emphasises a “follow me” approach. This way, leaders chart a course and encourage those around them to follow.Transactional Leadership- Transactional leadership, often referred to as managerial leadership, is a leadership style that relies on rewards and punishments. This leadership style clearly emphasises structure, assuming individuals may not possess the motivation needed to complete their tasks.Participative Leadership- Sometimes referred to as democratic leadership, participative leadership is a leadership style that encourages leaders to listen to their employees and involve them in the decision-making process. This leadership style requires leaders to be inclusive, utilise good communication skills, and, crucially, be able to share power/responsibility.Servant Leadership- Servant leadership is a leadership style that puts the needs of others first. It emphasises creating strong relationships with those around you and focuses on enabling them to reach their full potential. As a leader, it requires focusing on understanding the people you are working with and developing their abilities while also setting a good example and understanding their personal goals.If you are looking for a new role, it’s a good idea to know what type of leader you respond best to and try to gauge their style when you meet them- or better yet, ask them what sort of leader they think they are on the interview!Genum aims to partner with inspirational leaders, as we believe they will likely run the best businesses, and we work with some of the best in the industry. We can also advise our candidates on who runs the companies we work for and their approach to leadership to set you up in a place you’ll really thrive.

Embracing Resilience: Overcoming Market Fears
Embracing Resilience: Overcoming Market FearsIn today's fast-paced world, where sensationalised headlines and media scaremongering are rampant, it's no wonder that the mere mention of the market can leave individuals from all walks of life feeling deflated. Whether you're a buyer, tenant, vendor, landlord, estate agent, mortgage broker, recruiter, or surveyor, the constant barrage of negative news can chip away at your confidence. However, there is a refreshing perspective that can inspire resilience in the face of challenging markets and uphill battles. Let's explore this through a thought-provoking poem that altered my outlook.The Poem: ThinkingRecently, I stumbled upon a poem that struck a chord deep within me. Its words resonated with the belief that a shift in perspective can transform how we approach difficult situations. By embracing this mindset, we can navigate the unpredictable world of markets and emerge stronger, even when the odds seem stacked against us.The poem, by Walter D. Wintle, goes as follows:If you think you are beaten you are;If you think you dare not, you don’t.If you like to win, but think you can’t,It’s almost a cinch that you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;For out in the world you’ll find.Success begins with a fellow’s willIt’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you are;You’ve got to think high to rise.You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever wine the prize. For many a race is lost;Before ever a step is run.And many a coward failsBefore his work has ever begun. Think big and your deeds will growThink small and you’ll fall behindThink that you can and you willIt’s all in the state of mind. Life’s battles don’t always go toThe stronger or fitter manBut sooner or later the man who winsIs the man who thinks he can (Or woman!)By cultivating a positive mindset, embracing change, and building resilience, we can navigate the tumultuous world of markets with confidence and grace.So, the next time you find yourself overwhelmed by the tabloids' scaremongering or the media's negativity, remember this poem and its valuable teachings. Take a step back, reframe your perspective, and approach the market with renewed determination.

Transitioning from Office Culture to Remote Work: Reflections on Building a Strong Team in a Virtual Environment
After nearly a decade in the property industry, working at renowned London Estate agencies and establishing Client Services and New Homes departments, Alex joined our team in a senior role as Genum took its first steps towards a more remote setup for our Fulham-based Recruitment firm.However, this change came with its share of challenges when Alex relocated to Devon in 2022, leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the big city. It was a dramatic shift for him, and adapting to a solitary "office for one" in the countryside proved to be quite a shock to the system."As someone who strongly believed in the power of office culture, I was skeptical about whether a sales team could truly thrive when physically separated. Many companies had attempted remote work arrangements, only to stumble and fail. At first, I had to remind myself to take breaks, go for a stroll and keep a structured diary. But soon enough, the benefits of working from home began to reveal themselves—no more commuting, enjoying homemade lunches, and taking walks with the dogs. I then learned that maintaining regular contact with colleagues throughout the day was crucial. We abandoned email communication within our team, opting for video calls on platforms like Teams to see each other's friendly faces. It's the little things that help us maintain a positive culture at Genum, making it a company I am truly proud to work for.Do I miss the office? Absolutely. That's why I make it a point to visit regularly. But do I enjoy working from home? The answer is also yes. However, I wouldn't trade the experiences and camaraderie built over the past ten years in the office for anything in the world."When it comes to the topic of remote work, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. That's why, at Genum, we are delighted to offer a variety of options, including office jobs, flexible working arrangements, work-from-home opportunities, fully employed positions, and even self-employed roles. We partner with some of the best clients in the property industry.To all potential candidates seeking their next role, I encourage you to reach out for advice on your next steps.And to potential clients who have yet to experience the benefits of partnering with us to hire exceptional talent and create a great work environment—why not? Reach out to us and discover the difference Genum can make for your organisation.

Whether you're nearing the end of your degree or still have a while to go, consider these five valuable tips to ease your transition:Showcase Your Learning: When exploring job opportunities, emphasise the skills and experiences gained during your degree. Communication, teamwork, meeting deadlines, time management, and seeking feedback are all qualities highly valued in the workplace.Embrace Transferable Skills: Don't limit your degree to just one specific career path.

Landing a job unrelated to your field of study is perfectly fine and can be an exciting way to explore new horizons.Embrace New Opportunities: Very few people find a job right after university and stick with it for decades to come. Every experience along the way, regardless of the destination, contributes to your growth. If a job aligns with your interests, go for it and embrace the learning journey.Take Your Time: Research, attend interviews, prepare, and seek advice. Talk to friends, family, lecturers, and The Genum Team. You'll find a supportive network of people willing to offer guidance and insights. Remember, you don't have to embark on this journey alone.Navigating the post-university phase may seem daunting, but with these tips, you can approach it with confidence and embark on a fulfilling professional journey.

The benefits of a cloud based working environment
The benefits of a cloud based working environmentThere are many positive factors which can benefit both your income and your lifestyle. Here are a few that we’ve experienced through our candidates placing them into Hybrid models and traditional agencies who are offering a hub and spoke structure.1) Autonomy ~ You can take control of your diary managing both your life and your work meaning you can plan and structure your day favourably incorporating things such as picking up the kids from school, going to the gym and being efficient with your work tasks and appointments.2) Increased efficiency ~ Cutting out travel to work and the need to be sitting in an office environment all day means you can be more efficient and spend more time actually doing the job. It means you are more available to clients and applicants, quicker and more responsive to enquiries and more streamlined and able to offer a better customer experience which means the customer benefits.3) Increased earning potential ~ The businesses we recruit into are all about the "customer journey”. Most of them now produce the valuation opportunities leaving you to do what you do best as a valuer/estate agent… get the properties on and sell them in your localised area. With the increased working efficiency, the reduction in the agent having to do the business development (producing the valuations) you are able to earn significantly more money.Ultimately agency is changing. Traditional businesses are working into a more hub and spoke model whilst hybrid businesses are increasing their levels of customer service resulting in a better “customer journey”. What does this mean for you as an estate agent? It means that you will have a better work life balance, higher remunerations and be able to give a more competitive service…Everyone wins!Looking for a new role? Give Genum a call on 0203 771 4148
