When recruiting real estate agents for the first time, it's worth checking whether you're just looking for talkative people and whether they can clearly explain the limitations. Turning easily overlooked information into specific questions is crucial to ensuring both parties understand the job.
When opening a vacancy: clearly describe the actual task.
This job involves processing applications, closing deals, and obtaining licenses. Don't just list general requirements like job title or "must cooperate"; specify the work arrangements, the tasks you'll be involved in, who can assist you, and the learning methods after you start.
When reviewing resumes: Avoid treating preferences as necessary conditions.
Evidence should be compiled based on licenses, business experience, and work schedule to differentiate which qualifications, such as the willingness to take the exam, ability to travel abroad, and flexible work schedule, need to be confirmed before starting work. If any information is insufficient, ask for supplementary information first; do not infer abilities or willingness to cooperate from personal information unrelated to the job.
In the initial test: ask the hypothetical question in a specific context.
You could ask, "What would you say if the customer only asked about the price?" Then ask the candidate to explain what information they need to confirm and when they should report back to the manager. If the answer differs from job expectations, first check if the question was clear before labeling the candidate.
During the interview: Add an observable example.
Using a fictitious item, respond to the buyer's follow-up questions regarding the terms. When reviewing, distinguish between verified and pending details, clearly document requirements, and avoid promising unverified conditions. Explain that this is a mock review and demonstrate how to evaluate; you are not required to use real client information to complete company business.
Before making a decision: Write down anything that is not yet confirmed.
Verify the tasks, time, location, compensation, and onboarding arrangements, and designate a handover point. A smooth interview cannot replace these confirmations. Record the reasons for selection and any questions raised by the candidates so that adjustments can be made based on the specific circumstances when opening vacancies in the future.
The next step can refer to the first recruitment SOP: from receiving resumes to receiving offer notices .

Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions often raised by business leaders and HR teams:
What should you check first when recruiting a real estate agent for the first time?
First, check if there is any issue of "only looking for talkative people without making sure they can clearly state their limitations". Then, write down the conditions clearly and confirm them through additional questions and work examples.
After the initial interview, how can a real estate agent supplement their work ability evidence?
Using a fictitious item description, please respond to the buyer's follow-up questions regarding the terms. The key is to distinguish between verified and pending confirmation items, clearly document requirements, and avoid promising unverified conditions. The company will arrange and review the initial screening; do not consider the initial summary as the final hiring decision.
