  • ConsultancyPeople consultancy – Team analysis and vision structure match Knowing what you already have, and your current business position is in some ways more important than being aware of where you want to be and how to get there. Traditional recruitment focuses on what we term “resource replacement”, which in some scenarios is an accurate reflection of the needs of the business. When it comes to “People Consultancy” we review your current assets against the business vision and ask these key questions: Can you fill your human resource needs internally through task re assignment, training or mentoring? Is resource replacement necessary or a combination of task reassignment and recruitment a better option What are the cultural needs of the business What remuneration, and retention elements are required to create an employer of choice RECD people consultancy is based off one of Fiona Blayney’s core principles that “People are the foundation of a great business, People x Process = Profit.
  • Permanent PlacementTalent placement – permanent Building on the People Consultancy philosophy, RECD takes are holistic approach to permanent placement, identifying current and future business needs, the team dynamics, technology, and the candidate’s individual points of difference that will compliment the business. Selecting a new team member for your business must be done with precision and care, with our 360 ◦ ensures that only the best possible candidates are presented to our clients. The process starts with a Position, team and business review. Agency interview / skill check / Training needs assessment / reference checking Candidate / client matching and presentation Client interview Candidate negotiation Preparation of job descriptions, Key Performance Indicators, Remuneration structure and Training Plan as agreed Induction and retention strategy Your team become our team, as consultants we are with you for the long term, Melissa Karatjas and the RECD VIC team have been representing the same clients year on year since 2002, “its not about plugging holes, it’s about developing careers and through this increasing business performance. It gives me such pleasure to see our clients and their teams thriving.” Fiona Blayney’s clients have been using her consultancy various services for over 7 years. “Longevity is key, as Small to Medium size businesses we work together to create sustainable fun businesses, supporting growth for ourselves and our teams together.”
  • Temporary TalentTemporary Talent – covering short, medium term and Holidays Losing a key staff member can be like having a “hole in the business bucket, creating undue stress and workflow challenges for the remaining team”. These gaps can be minimised with the use of Temporary talent. Team members may be on leave for many reasons; holidays, long service leave, maternity, extended sick leave, sabbaticals, RECD have a team of temps, people either currently looking for work, returning to the work force part time, or those that simply enjoy the experience of working with different businesses over the year. There are also times in business when projects require additional resources, Temporary Talent allows you to bring skills into your business without the commitment of a full-time staff member. Temporary Talent is at times also used for both candidate and client in a “try before your by” approach. Whatever the reason, there is no need to have a “hole in the resources bucket.”

Welcome From Directors

Welcome to the home of Real Estate Career Developers, specialists in the provision of permanent and temporary staffing to the real estate industry. Our life commenced in Melbourne in 2002, born from the challenges faced by Melissa Karatjas when seeking a new role in Real Estate . Knowing that people are the number one resource in any business, Melissa enlisted the help of Trish Payne who shared the same notion of bringing Talent to Businesses with Passion, Honesty and Integrity. Hence Real Estate Career Developers was born, with a dedication to clients and candidates stemming from old fashion values of building Quality Relationships.

After much success, and with a Gap in the Talent and People Consultancy market in wider Australia, in 2010 Fiona Blayney joined forces with Melissa to bring Real Estate Career Developers, extending our service to not only Recruitment, but “Strategic People Consultancy and Development”.

As People Consultants, we work with you to create structure for growth, and procure the talent to make it happen.

RECD is getting ready to celebrate a milestone birthday in June…..we are turning 10! It was a decade ago Melissa Karatjas discovered a gap in the market for a quality, personalised and solutions driven recruitment service and so RECD was born. With four new people consultants on board across Melbourne and Sydney, RECD is set for an exciting birthday year! Although we are doing some things a little differently now, the core of our business remains the same and we are looking forward to another decade of helping our valued candidates and clients!

The RECD team have been doing a little recruiting of our own! We would like to officially welcome our newest team members: David Byrden, Josie Galati, Sharna Bayne (Melbourne) and Jonathon McClay (Sydney). Our new recruits bring with them a wealth of experience, a commitment to first class service and a passion for the industry.To find out more visit: http://www.realestatecareerdevelopers.com.au/all-about/our-team/ or give them a call to discuss your needs.

Looking back over the last 9 years, it is clear to see why RECD has built an unrivalled reputation amongst clients and candidates. Melissa, Trish, Jenny and the team adopted a different approach to recruitment from the very beginning, and were the first agency to focus on developing a ‘talent management’ strategy with their clients. The RECD consultants have actually worked in the industry for many years, they possess a thorough knowledge of the inner workings of a Real Estate agency and have built extensive networks.

Melissa and Trish still adopt a very ‘hands on’ approach, and are heavily involved in the day to day running of the agency. RECD’s expansion into NSW and appointment of Director Fiona, a renowned industry expert, has further strengthened the RECD service offering.

Despite now being armed with a new office, a large team of dedicated staff and cutting edge IT systems, the RECD team still value traditional methods of recruitment and continue to deliver the highly personalised service that has kept their valued clients extremely satisfied over the past 9 years.

The new look ARPM (Australasian Residential Propery Management Conference), is packed with practical tips and advice for success from the best in the field., including RECD NSW Director Fiona Blayney. Not only will you get the expert Property Management knowledge you’ve come to expect from ARPM, but this year you’ll also get an inside view of success practices from highly inspirational specialists in wider fields. This new format will give you a unique understanding of how to take advantage of technology and new and emerging practices to achieve business success now and in the future. Click here for more information and to purchase your tickets today.

I am excited to announce that I have recently become a partner in Real Estate Career Developers Australia. Together Melissa Karatjas and I have launched our second office in Sydney. Operating from Neutral Bay, we are providing services to Sydney, Central Coast and Mid North Coast, through to Southern Sydney and South Coast.

Real Estate Career Developers offer a 360 degree approach to Talent. Combing the elements of People Consultancy that I have become known for through Blayney Potential Plus, we have combined these services, with  RECD’s Recruitment functions.

With additional services like Talent review, HR Growth, Talent procurement, Role Creation and Temporary Staff, I know this will bring to the industry a much needed solution.

We are not a plug and play recruiter; we work with you to discover the talent needed to take you towards your vision.
