Building a Future-Ready Workforce: Direct Hire Solutions for a Growing Real Estate Development Firm

A rapidly growing multi-family real estate development, property management, and construction firm partnered with Atrium to transform its talent acquisition strategy during a critical expansion phase. With ATS access streamlining recruitment and specialized local recruiters delivering a concierge-level service, Atrium identified and placed top-tier candidates aligned with the company’s culture and growth trajectory.

the opportunity

A rapidly growing multi-family real estate development, property management, and construction firm was expanding across the Sun Belt, including Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Arizona. By 2022, the company had approximately twenty corporate employees but was in a critical expansion phase, requiring strategic hiring to build a solid foundation for future success.

Despite the high volume of hiring demands, the firm had only one internal HR Manager responsible for filling over sixty positions during peak periods. The company partnered with multiple staffing agencies but was not receiving the level of service, candidate quality, or collaboration necessary to achieve its long-term hiring objectives.

the solution

Atrium first engaged with the company in 2022 to support its Direct Hire needs. After successfully placing two candidates, we offered the client further solutions for optimizing its hiring process.

As a result, the company granted Atrium access to its Applicant Tracking System (ATS) improving communication and streamlining the candidate pipeline. To ensure quality, we committed to presenting at least three top-tier candidates for each open role. Our team consistently outperformed other agencies, demonstrating a recruitment approach that aligned with the client’s long-term objectives.

The partnership deepened when we filled a Controller role within 24 hours by leveraging a network of pre-sourced candidates. This success highlighted our ability to strategically pipeline talent and deliver rapid results. Through our Applicant-Centric philosophy, we ensured access to high-quality professionals, strengthening our talent network via referrals. Consequently, the client awarded Atrium exclusive rights to all Finance and Accounting positions – marking a pivotal shift from their previous multi-agency approach.

By becoming the sole recruitment partner for these critical roles, we delivered a seamless, high caliber hiring experience tailored to the company’s needs and culture.

With this exclusive partnership, our impact expanded further, securing key hires such as a VP of Property Accounting, a role designed for future organizational growth. As internal teams recognized the exceptional caliber of our candidates, hiring managers began turning to us to recruit additional positions beyond Finance and Accounting, including IT roles, further reinforcing our integral role in the client’s growth strategy. Expanding recruitment efforts beyond local talent pools, we leveraged our Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta offices to identify top candidates across the region.

To enhance collaboration, our team of staffing experts established direct communication with the client’s HR leadership through a dedicated Teams channel, allowing for real-time hiring support. Our true partnership approach positioned us not as a vendor but as an extension of the firm’s HR team.

the results

Through Atrium’s exclusive partnership, we have become an essential component of the firm’s talent acquisition strategy. Gaining ATS access streamlined the hiring process, enabling us to efficiently manage recruitment while ensuring alignment with the client’s culture and growth trajectory. Our specialized local recruiters, equipped with deep industry knowledge, delivered a concierge, white glove level of service that differentiated us from traditional staffing agencies. By customizing the approach, we identified and delivered top-tier candidates whose skill sets perfectly aligned with the client’s evolving needs.
