Recruit a talent

Seize an opportunity

The French property market regained some momentum in 2025, but recruitment remains a structural challenge for many industry players. In 2026, experienced, specialised professionals who can make an immediate impact remain in particularly high demand, while certain skill sets continue to be difficult to attract and retain. Morgan Philips supports real estate and construction businesses across France—including developers, property investment companies, social housing providers and asset managers—in identifying, assessing and securing talent for their strategic real estate hires.

7 reasons to entrust your real estate recruitment to our specialist firm

01.

In-depth knowledge of real estate industry players

Developers, property investment companies, social housing providers, urban developers and investment advisory firms: every player in the property value chain has its own business model and recruitment expectations. Our consultants tailor their approach to your organisation from their very first conversation with your team.

02.

Specialist talent sourcing

Development directors, asset managers and experienced condominium property managers: these professionals are sought after throughout the market and are rarely available through open recruitment channels. Our direct-search approach enables us to identify them even when they are not actively looking for a new role.

03.

A pool of qualified talent

Our candidate database spans the entire real estate value chain: lettings management, asset management, property management, development and property promotion. This breadth enables us to put forward candidates quickly who are already familiar with the sector’s technical and regulatory requirements.

04.

In-depth industry expertise

Understanding the difference between a Head of Property Assets and a Head of Lettings Management, an asset manager and a property manager, or a condominium property manager and a design-and-build contractor helps prevent recruitment mismatches and reassures candidates that they are dealing with people who understand their profession.

05.

Ongoing relationships with industry talent

Changing customer needs, evolving management practices and the rise of PropTech: we follow these developments closely and regularly engage with industry experts, even when they are not actively looking for a new position. These relationships make it easier to engage qualified professionals quickly when a need arises.

06.

International Network

Our international network allows us to understand major HR trends and share them with our clients and candidates to facilitate the company's recruitment

FAQ: Real Estate & Construction Recruitment Firm

How do you choose a specialist real estate recruitment firm in France?

To secure your strategic hires, choose a recruitment firm with both sector-specific and local expertise. Morgan Philips supports real estate and construction businesses throughout France (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille and beyond). Our specialist consultants understand local real estate employment trends and regulatory requirements, enabling a highly targeted direct-search approach to hard-to-fill permanent, fixed-term, temporary and freelance positions.

What types of real estate businesses do you support with recruitment?

Our specialist recruiters work across the French real estate ecosystem. We partner with property developers, property investment companies, social housing providers, urban developers, design-and-build contractors, property management firms (condominium and lettings management) and investment advisory businesses (asset, property and facilities management), from PropTech start-ups to major national groups.

How can I find an interim manager for an urgent real estate assignment?

Interim management offers a way to lead transformation, manage a crisis or cover the sudden absence of a senior leader. Morgan Philips draws on a global database and international research centres to identify and mobilise an interim manager or freelance real estate professional anywhere in France within days. Our experts—including project directors, branch directors and asset managers—are ready to make an immediate impact.

Which real estate roles are most in demand among recruitment firms?

The French real estate employment market faces significant shortages in several key roles. We frequently recruit Branch Directors, Heads of Property Assets, Heads of Lettings Management, Condominium Property Managers, and Asset and Property Managers. We also recruit for the corporate functions essential to the growth of real estate businesses, including Managing Directors, Chief Financial Officers, HR Directors and Heads of Legal.
