The Recruitment Edge That Fuels Dubai’s Leading Real Estate Agency
Why Our Interview Process Sets Us Apart From the Very Start
At Allsopp & Allsopp, recruitment isn’t a box-ticking exercise, it’s the foundation of everything we do. From the very first interaction, our process shows candidates exactly who we are: a business that goes further, expects more, and invests deeply in the people who join us.
When Lewis and Carl founded the company with just two team members, they built the business on people, not shortcuts. Today, with a team of more than 600 across sales, leasing, property management, marketing, admin, HR, tech and more, that principle hasn’t changed. As one of Dubai’s few full-service, fully in-house agencies, the quality of our recruitment directly shapes the quality of our service. We hire to build a high-performing, aligned team that drives the business forward every single day.
Building Careers, Not Just Filling Positions
Having spent almost a decade with Allsopp & Allsopp, I know what success looks like here and more importantly, what doesn’t. Recruitment isn’t about plugging gaps, it’s about finding people with the right attitude, resilience, ambition, and ability to integrate seamlessly into our culture.
Longevity in a single company allows you to understand its DNA. I know the culture, the expectations, the rhythm of the business, and the competencies that different roles demand. That insight means I can spot potential long before a CV spells it out - often identifying standout candidates that other agencies overlook.
This is why candidates choose us. They feel the difference. They see the investment. They know we’re not just placing them in a job - we’re helping them shape a long-term career, and if executed correctly, we’re also helping them grow their wealth to a level previously unimagined
A Recruitment Process Backed by Insight and Experience
Our process is structured, supportive, and intentionally thorough:
- A detailed CV review
- Introductory calls to learn about motivations and expectations
- Video interviews to give clarity on the role and the culture
- In-person interviews in our Dubai office (if applicable) so candidates can experience the environment firsthand
For UK-based candidates considering a move, our recruitment events bring Allsopp & Allsopp to them, offering genuine insight into life in Dubai and the realities of the role. No guesswork, no empty promises, just transparency.
Every step is designed to help candidates understand us and to show us who they are.
Experience That Creates Results
My background as both a recruiter and a former Estate Agent gives me a unique understanding of what it takes to succeed in this industry. Having been loyal to one company for so many years, I understand its vision, its values, and exactly what and who it needs to continue growing. That depth of insight shapes every hiring decision I make.
I’ve guided countless candidates into roles that truly match their potential, and our 90% employee retention rate is proof that this approach works. When you understand the heart of a business, you don’t just look for people who can do the job, you look for people who will thrive, grow, and contribute to the long-term picture.
Anyone can hire. Few can hire well. Very few can retain. Our edge is simple: we don’t just hire people - we support them, develop them, and help them excel.
Why We Refuse to Take Shortcuts
Shortcuts cost more in the long run. They dilute culture, weaken performance, and slow growth. That’s why every stage of our recruitment process is intentional, built to identify exceptional talent and ensure every candidate feels valued from the start.
We’re proud of the standard we set. It’s the reason we continue to attract top-tier talent and the reason many of our highest performers have grown their careers with us, not just through us.
At Allsopp & Allsopp, we build futures, shape careers, and invest in people who want to be part of something bigger.
