The local property market has seen a tremendous recovery in the past year, as sales volumes and prices have shot up dramatically. This was accompanied by strong expectations that the upward momentum would continue in the near future. The scene today is vastly different from the dire situation two years ago.
Kitty Ip, executive director at Midland Holdings, says that in response to the recovery, her company will expand its sales team and create more jobs to meet increasing demands.
She stresses that market trends, that show a shortage of candidates, will not affect the company's recruitment.
'Our selection criteria will remain the same and will not be influenced by the number of candidates available in the market.'
Ip says the company is anticipating an 'all-out war' to compete for professionals among the top property agencies.
'Among other things, this means we will have to fight hard for the most dynamic property salespeople in the near future,' she says.
