The UK job market isn’t looking great and graduates wanting to start their careers in commercial property are feeling particularly vulnerable. But Prefio.com has some good news for recent graduates and young surveyors – they can make substantial earnings from their networks of university friends and professional colleagues.
Founding Director of Prefio.com, Tim Latham said “the Prefio.com model is all about networking and we have already gained a lot of traction since our launch in spring this year. But we are keen to get the message out to recent graduates and those just completing their APC (assessment of professional competence) that you don’t have to have been around the block several times and have a massive network for Prefio to work for you. Recent property graduates are particularly welcome to use Prefio”. See the Prefio website http://www.prefio.com/
Prefio’s business (http://prefio.com) is recruitment in the commercial property and construction sectors and it does so using an innovative angle on crowdsourcing whereby it uses hundreds of industry insiders to guide opportunities to suitably qualified people within their network – for a reward of thousands of pounds.
Latham added “Because our clients are often particularly interested in candidates who are fairly recent graduates or have a year or two’s experience post APC we are really keen to engage with referrers at a similar stage in their career. Each time a referrer successfully suggests somebody and it leads to placement, that referrer is rewarded with at least £2,500. So even if graduate property jobs are scarce there is the prospect of earning decent sums from referrals”.
Concluding, Latham said “The recovery is hopefully not too far away and property recruitment will become a major issue – employers will be focusing very much on ensuring the hires they make are absolutely the best possible and our referral model is very compelling in that regard. We already have good referrer coverage amongst the mid to senior market and we want to ensure during the next few months that we have property graduate recruitment equally well covered.”
