Prefio.com

Prefio works on the premise that the proerty sector's best-networked practitioners are always going to know who the best talent is - more so than recruitment companies who 'warehouse' candidates. Pretty sensible, really. The team have signed up hundreds of vetted practitioners and financially incentivised them to work their networks. Specialising in just one sector ensures they keep abreast of who the most well-connected movers and shakers in the industry are, proving a higher quality of service. Prefio's made the recruitment process simpler, much more cost-efficient for employers and better-executed than competitors' version. Founder Tim makes good use of social media, too.
