How It Works

Hire Asset Managers in 3 steps

A structured process for the hire that owns the hold-period value creation — where the wrong Asset Manager lets NOI drift, misses lease renewals, and pushes back exit value.

Step 01

Talk to our team

30-minute call. Align on asset class, portfolio scale, hold-period strategy, CapEx expectations, and start date.

Step 02

Review hand-selected talent

Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Asset Managers with delivered NOI-optimization history. References from prior investment committees and CFOs included.

Step 03

Hire with confidence

Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.

Why iRecruit.co for Asset Manager Hires

What makes our Asset Manager shortlist different

Asset Managers own the operating side of the hold. NOI-optimization discipline, lease-management rigor, and CapEx-planning integrity separate an Asset Manager who compounds hold-period value from one who becomes the reason IRR misses the pro forma.

01

NOI-optimization verified

Every Asset Manager has verified NOI-optimization discipline: revenue growth, expense discipline, and hold-period value creation.

02

Lease-management rigor

Reference-verified lease renewal discipline, TI negotiation, and tenant-relationship management.

03

CapEx planning & disposition-readiness

Verified CapEx planning discipline, disposition-readiness for hold-cycle exits, and hold-period reporting to investment committee.

What does it cost to hire an Asset Manager?

Pricing depends on engagement model. Per-role recruiting is a defined fee. Embedded is a monthly retainer.

How is Asset Manager different from Portfolio Manager?

Asset Manager owns operating-side hold-period value creation on individual assets. Portfolio Manager owns portfolio-strategy, allocation, and fund-level performance. Some platforms have both roles, some combine them.

Do you place across all major CRE asset classes?

Can you build a full asset-management team?

Yes. Multi-hire builds (Director of Asset Mgmt + AMs + Analysts) route through embedded recruiting or RPO.

How is iRecruit.co different from a generalist real-estate recruiter?
