Recruitment day for English-speaking estate agents
Successful immobilier looking to fill a number of positions
An English-and-French real estate agency has organised a recruitment day to fill a number of vacant positions in southwest France.
Beaux Villages Immobilier is looking for hands-on sales managers and trainers to cover a wide area around Bergerac. These salaried positions require a proven track record and fluency in both French and English.
The firm - voted Best Real Estate Agent in France and nominated for Best in Europe in 2017/18 - is also recruiting for commission-only self-employed property consultants, with or without direct experience in the property sector. For these positions, the firm said, two languages 'are a distinct advantage', but they are open to those with just one as long as they have 'compensatory skills'.
The open day is on Tuesday, October 9, in Bergerac, at which prospective employees can ask questions and chat about the positions in an informal and friendly setting.
To join in the recruitment day, email a CV and cover letter, marked for the attention of Judith Whitlow, to hr@beauxvillages.com
