“Companies can no longer say they cannot operate remotely,” Keller says. “With an increased demand for permanent remote work or hybrid office models, there is a clear indication that there will be a massive shift in the way companies operate. With this in mind, hiring managers are expanding their candidate searches to include critical skills and competencies for the new work environment. Operating a remote business requires employees that are adaptable, assertive, and resourceful. Candidates that take proactive approaches such as creating a plan on how to tackle remote collaboration, developing goals for a digital onboarding process, or outlining professional goals demonstrate the initiative of motivating themselves to meet deadlines and produce high-quality work. As South Florida continues to experience a real estate boom, commercial real estate companies are bullish on maintaining sustained growth, seeking individuals who are well-versed in market trends, bringing valuable resources to the business. Similar to how landlords are reconfiguring office layouts to align with post-Covid-19 trends, hiring managers are re-thinking work culture, including in office, work from home and hybrid expectations.”
