Recruiters in Real Estate Development, Construction Management and Architecture.

Mission Statement of a Construction/Development Recruiter

Around 15 years ago I had a “moment”. I was watching Jerry Maguire and the movie completely change my life when our main character was sitting with his lap top late one night scribing up his famous “Mission Statement”. In his statement it was about more attention to good clients and about being honorable for those that you represent and work for. I took it very seriously and began working on my own Mission Statement that focused on representing the best firms and best talent in real estate development, construction and architecture. Now this didn’t mean just talent or prestige. It meant everything from attitude, communication, intelligence, respect……the proverbial QUON.

The other day we heard through the grapevine that a particular recruiter in our industry, the kind that gives recruiting a bad name, was taking credit for a high-level placement that our firm filled. We will leave the name out but, will say for our national clients that this particular person is located in Southern California so don’t worry.  I didn’t find it overly shocking but, it did make me sad for my industry that these people exist.

Jerry McGuire was enduring a cesspool of dog-eat-dog breed of agents much as good recruiters have to endure these low-breed used car sales people that find their way into our business.

For those of you that find yourself in close quarters with an individual that’s willing at any moment to take credit for the work of others my advice is to ignore them and rise above. Go back to your Mission Statement and focus on your work.  People will know what you stand for if you get up every day and fight the good fights... that’s all that matters. These other individuals reveal themselves in the end and typically implode; and they will never have the QUON.

Kipp Gillian

Kipp Gillian, President Gillian Executive Search, Inc. Kipp Gillian is a Mechanical Engineer (University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas) who started his career in real estate development and construction management in 1994 as a project manager for Vratsinas Construction Company, a TOP ENR design build firm with a massive focus in retail construction. He transitioned to the client side under the VCC flag as an Owner's Rep and project manager for Jacoby Development of Atlanta, Georgia. Under these two roles Mr. Gillian built shopping center and office product up and down the Eastern seaboard and the Midwest.

In 1998 Mr. Gillian moved to Los Angeles to open the West Coast office for VCC and continued to build retail and mixed use product throughout Southern, California. In 2000, Mr. Gillian took his real estate career in a new direction. After receiving calls from numerous recruiters that all knew little about real estate development, construction and/or architecture he felt there was a calling for a true "Agent" for the industry. On that note Mr. Gillian set out to create Gillian Executive Search, Inc. GES has been in business for over 10 years now and is one of the most popular real estate recruiting agencies in the US representing clients across the nation, and at times internationally, such as Hilton Hotels, LNR Property Corporation, Donahue Schriber, Fritz Duda, CIM Group, Weintraub Financial, Clark Realty Capital, Archstone, The Related Companies of California, Camden, Aslan Realty, WET Design, Palm Desert Development Company, Lewis Operating Company, Equity Residential, Carmel Partners, Public Storage, Macerich, DJM Capital, Lyle Parks Junior, Herman & Kittle, Greystar, Commerce Construction, Syufy Enterprises and many more.
