• I was responsible for supporting the desk of my Technology Recruitment Manager by completing all candidate related tasks as mentioned below.
• In the final months as a Senior Associate, I took on more client responsibilities – account management, running the full recruitment process and business development.
• Financial achievement: I helped my Technology Recruitment Manager increase his monthly billings by 180%.

• I was responsible for supporting the desk of my Technology Recruitment Manager by completing all candidate related tasks – sourcing/headhunting, screening, interviewing, representing shortlists, interview preparation, compliance and administration duties, lead generation.

I was responsible for providing a wide range of valuations to CBA, ANZ, NAB, Macquarie and other private clients. These valuations included market valuations, ‘As If Complete’ valuations, ‘To Be Erected’ valuations and hypothetical development.

Multi-Tasking:

• Visiting on average 8-10 daily onsite property inspections on behalf of CBA, ANZ, NAB, Macquarie and other private clients
• Daily valuations ranged from market valuations, ‘As If Complete’ valuations, ‘To Be Erected’ valuations and hypothetical development
• This required a substantial knowledge of the property market, and a highly analytical mind
• Meticulous research was necessary for each job, including zoning and planning analysis, title analysis, market research, supply/demand forecast, market trends and construction estimation
• In addition to banks, valuers also liaised with Mortgage Brokers looking to either follow up on valuation progress or looking to discuss/review the valuations given

Time Management:

• Daily scheduling of property visits was critical for success
• As was scheduling administration time
• Each property required prior inspection preparation and evaluation report writing time, outlining the valuation and risk associated with the property
• Meaning 8-10 inspections required prior preparation and writing time of up to 1 hour for each property

KPI/High Pressure Environment:

• Lee Property Valuers & Advisors have a set percentage of jobs that need to be delivered to banks on time
• This is generally 24 hours turnaround time on the report after inspection
• Resulting in 8-10 evaluation reports daily in addition to property inspections
• Not delivering on this timeframe had flow on effects within the business meaning valuers were expected to deliver all reports on time
• Following the Banking Royal Commission, valuers were required to provide the banks with a significantly more in-depth risk assessment of each property for all valuations
• This included market direction, economic issues, market conditions, construction issues, marketability for re-sale, and any onerous contractual clauses that may exist such as restriction on re-sale, covenants, option clauses, etc
• Not comprehensively identifying the risk of a loan could place Lee Property Valuers & Advisors at risk of being sued and result in the valuer being called into Court
• Meaning that a high level of detail was required in report preparation during the 24 hours turn around time.
