This month, we are shining a light on Lily, a seasoned recruiter who recently joined our Real Estate and Property Management team. With over a decade of experience, Lily\u2019s story and insights reflect the drive, adaptability, and people-first approach that make her so effective in her work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">We asked Lily a few questions to learn more about her journey and perspective. Connect with Lily on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lilybrooks?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAAnNNuoBdr1u9t3CS5aVLi7sOsvN3Zb2ijg&amp;lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3BeAkSxxuZSAebjLQI1ktQQg%3D%3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linkedin here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Q: Why did you choose Property Management recruitment?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Lily:<\/strong> Like most recruiters, I did not grow up dreaming of this career, but once I found it, I knew I had discovered the right path. Thirteen years ago, I stepped into a recruiter role with little industry knowledge. My very first placement was a Property Accountant, and he stayed in that role for 11 years. That experience set the tone for my career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">What stood out most was not just the work, it was the people. The Property Management industry welcomed me with patience, kindness, and an incredible sense of community. Over the years, I have met professionals in every role, and they share the same traits, hardworking, supportive, and fun. That is my \u201cwhy.\u201d Simple as that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Q: What do you enjoy most about recruitment?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Lily:<\/strong> I truly enjoy helping people. It might sound corny<\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">, but I believe being in a job you love has a huge impact on your life. Helping candidates find a role that excites them, and helping clients build teams that make a real difference, is deeply rewarding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">I also enjoy the pace. No two days are ever the same, and they always seem to fly by because I genuinely love what I do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Q: What advice would you give someone considering a career in recruitment?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Lily:<\/strong> Recruitment comes with more highs and more lows than most careers. It is easy to get swept away by the wins or weighed down by the challenges. My advice is to stay balanced, celebrate the successes, learn from the setbacks, and keep doing the work. That is how you find long term success without burning out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Q: What has surprised you most about working at DMC?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Lily:<\/strong> I had never worked entirely from home before, so I wondered if I might feel isolated. I was pleasantly surprised to find a strong culture here, full of supportive and welcoming people. Even working remotely, I feel part of a bigger team, and the level of collaboration has been incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Q: If a recruiter were an animal, what would it be?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Lily:<\/strong> A blend of a Honey Badger and a Fox. The Honey Badger for the grit and persistence it takes to succeed in recruitment, and the Fox for the cleverness and adaptability needed to thrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">With her depth of experience, unwavering determination, and genuine care for both clients and candidates, Lily has quickly become an integral part of our Real Estate and Property Management division. We are proud to have her expertise on the DMC team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12748\" src=\"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250801_0905_Friendly-Fox-Plot_remix_01k1k9dy96fpk8hsvnz8fy9eke-200x300.png\" alt=\"Lily Brooks as a Honey Badger\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.dmcrecruitment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250801_0905_Friendly-Fox-Plot_remix_01k1k9dy96fpk8hsvnz8fy9eke-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/cdn.dmcrecruitment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250801_0905_Friendly-Fox-Plot_remix_01k1k9dy96fpk8hsvnz8fy9eke-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/cdn.dmcrecruitment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250801_0905_Friendly-Fox-Plot_remix_01k1k9dy96fpk8hsvnz8fy9eke-768x1152.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.dmcrecruitment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250801_0905_Friendly-Fox-Plot_remix_01k1k9dy96fpk8hsvnz8fy9eke-8x12.png 8w, https:\/\/cdn.dmcrecruitment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250801_0905_Friendly-Fox-Plot_remix_01k1k9dy96fpk8hsvnz8fy9eke.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Asked Our New Real Estate Recruiter, Lily Brooks, to Answer Some Questions &nbsp; At DMC Recruitment, our recruiters are more than industry experts, they are trusted partners who bring [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12750,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,221],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-recruitment-origin-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12746"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12746\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12751,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12746\/revisions\/12751"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dmcrecruitment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
