Occupier CRE recruiting & staffingAbout CRE Talent Group
CRE Talent Group is a recruiting and staffing firm with offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Mill Valley, California, placing professionals in occupier commercial real estate, also known as corporate real estate, across the U.S.
The firm was founded in October 2026 by Sanyam Bhardwaj and Gabe Burke, who have both worked in occupier commercial real estate. We recruit for corporate real estate teams and the firms that serve them, and every candidate we present is evaluated by people who have done the work.
Recruiting and staffing for corporate real estate
Two ways to work together
Contract staffing places a CRE professional on your team for a defined period or project. Direct-hire recruiting finds a permanent employee for your organization. Both include the same written candidate assessment.
Who we work with
Corporate real estate teams, and the firms that serve them: CRE consultancies, CRE technology vendors, implementation partners, and service providers.
A shortlist, not a stack of resumes.
Our candidate evaluation is practitioner-led. Every candidate is assessed on four dimensions, and each resume arrives with a written assessment of how the candidate fits your role.
Relevant experience
Has the candidate done this work in a comparable setting?
We look at the portfolios, organizations, and environments a candidate has worked in: portfolio size and mix, in-house or service-provider side, industry, and the systems and processes they used.
Functional expertise
How deep is their knowledge of the discipline?
We test the specific skills the role depends on, such as lease abstraction and critical-date management, IWMS configuration, project controls, or facilities operations, at the level the role requires.
Delivery capability
What have they actually delivered?
We ask for concrete outcomes: projects completed, programs run, data cleaned up, processes improved. We also look at how they worked with stakeholders such as finance, HR, IT, and business units.
Role fit
Does this match the role as it really is?
We compare the candidate's scope, level, and working style with the role's team structure, reporting line, location, and engagement type, and with what the candidate wants next.
