Web Seminar With All of the Agents
My Project:
As the hiring manager for the team, my project was recruitment. Following this came finding potential recruits that had the dedication to become an agent. It also depended on if the recruit has a license or not. Having a license changes the interview process because that makes the person easier to hire rather than someone without a license who has to spend 90 hours of class time and take an exam before we can hire them.
Career Fair
Objectives...
-
Find someone who is qualified and determined.
-
Getting recruits without a license to take the real estate course and exam in order to join our team.
-
Having recruits join our daily morning meetings.
The Process...
-
Post open positions on Craigslist, Indeed, and the Western Washington University Career page.​
-
Attend the WWU Career Fair to gather resumes for internships or realtor positions.
-
Put applicants into our spreadsheet (see Appendix A).
-
Maintain contact and communication with people who have applied.
-
Call recruits to remind them of their interview appointment.
-
Have them attend our daily "power up" morning meeting and explain the process of becoming a realtor.
-
Follow up with recruits if they do not show up to their appointment.
-
If the applicant is unlicensed they must take the 90 hour learning course first and take the state exam.
Project Outcome:
After going through the process of recruitment, I was able to find some reliable people to add as an asset to our team. The Ben Kinney Team is a smaller group of specialized agents within Keller Williams Realty. There are multiple locations across the United States that has the specialized Ben Kinney Teams, but the location in Bellingham Washington is where everything started. Getting to be apart of finding realtors and interns for our team was an amazing opportunity because you have to look for specific qualities within applicants since the Ben Kinney Team is one of the top talented agencies in the Unites States. I had to look for highly motivated and charismatic people that want to expand their learning. The outcome of finding great applicants is creating an elite team that can potentially make the Ben Kinney Team go from the third best in the United States to first.
