Global recruitment for real estate, construction, and built-environment professionals
Macdonald & Company is a UK-based recruitment consultancy serving the real estate and construction sectors with offices across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, Africa, and the Middle East. The tech stack reveals operational maturity in project and portfolio management (Procore, Microsoft Project, Yardi, QuickBooks) rather than modern SaaS tooling—typical of firms serving traditional real-estate and construction teams. Hiring velocity is accelerating across finance and construction roles, with notable leadership gaps in COO and Chief Financial Officer positions, suggesting scale-up phase operations.
Notable leadership hires: Commercial Operations Director, Brokerage Director, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Product Lead
