Home Information Packs effecting Estate Agency Recruitment

Samantha Trott, Director of Ashman Meyer Limited who specialises in Estate Agency recruitment commented that the imminent arrival of HIPS has had little effect on the amount of candidates that are looking for employment. “We were growing concerned in the later stages of 2006 and beginning of 2007 that we would see a slow down in the recruitment market caused by a shortage of candidates. We anticipated that many candidates would wait to see how their employers were preparing for the 1^st June, but this has not been the case”.

“One trend we have started to see is that some candidates are starting to be more attracted to joining larger Estate Agencies that have seemed to embrace the idea of HIPS and seem to be better prepared for the arrival which we believe is offering more security and piece of mind to the candidates”
