What LMRE does

LMRE is a privately held, London-headquartered recruitment and executive search consultancy founded in 2018 by Richard Lloyd and Louisa Dickins, focused on the global Real Estate technology, innovation, and sustainability stack (PropTech, ConTech, ClimateTech, InsuranceTech, and ESG). The firm places senior commercial, technical, product, and C-suite talent into venture-backed PropTech companies, scaling ConTech software vendors (e.g., Bentley Systems, DroneDeploy, Kahua, HammerTech), climate-tech and sustainability businesses, corporate Real Estate departments, and VC/asset managers investing in real estate technology. It sells on a professional services model, earning recruitment and retained executive search fees from client companies; pricing is quote-based and non-public, and candidates are not charged.

The firm operates verticalised practices (PropTech, ConTech, ClimateTech, ESG, InsuranceTech) led by named Practice Leads and supported by a content-marketing platform that includes The Propcast podcast (12+ seasons), the annual PropTech Salary Report, the PropTech Textbook, and multiple branded video series (Crazy for ConTech, Meet The Founders, Lulu's Lessons, PropTech & Planet, Mission Possible: Climate Tech, Women in PropTech, DEI Digest, Built to Last, Built Environment Bulletin). Its operational technology stack is a Teamtailor-powered careers/ATS portal with a candidate Connect profile and job subscription feature, an internal CRM for client/candidate interaction records, a geo-filtered job board at lmre.tech/jobs, Google Analytics for site analytics, and WhatsApp for Business for candidate engagement. Distribution is direct and consultant-led: clients submit briefs via a 'Send Brief' form, candidates self-serve via the job board and CV upload, and consultants drive outbound via phone, email, LinkedIn, and industry events.

LMRE Limited (UK) is the operating entity, affiliated (not parented) with Lloyd May Limited for shared GDPR processes. The firm has 15 co-workers across offices in London (HQ, 33 Broadwick St), New York (WeWork, 85 Broad St), and Dubai (opened July 2023 to cover MENA under Regional Director Vishal Bhatia), and is self-described as the 'No1 global Real Estate technology, innovation and sustainability search consultancy'. The company is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed and uses EMI shares plus uncapped commission as part of its consultant retention strategy.

Core offering

LMRE is a global recruitment and executive search consultancy that places senior (VP and above) and C-suite talent into companies operating in the built environment, with dedicated practices across PropTech and Real Estate Innovation, Construction Technology (ConTech), ClimateTech, ESG and Sustainability, and InsuranceTech. The firm delivers end-to-end search engagements — from brief intake and candidate sourcing through interview management to offer closure — and supplements its core search work with proprietary market intelligence assets (annual PropTech Salary Report, The Propcast podcast, PropTech Textbook) and a candidate-facing job board.

Product overview

LMRE operates as a unified global PropTech recruitment and search consultancy rather than a modular software platform; its core product is executive and commercial search services, delivered through verticalised practices (PropTech, ConTech, ClimateTech, InsuranceTech, ESG & Sustainability) supported by a suite of content products including The Propcast podcast, the PropTech Newsletter, the PropTech Textbook, the annual PropTech Salary Report, and a portfolio of branded video series (Meet The Founders, Crazy for ConTech, PropTech & Planet, Lulu's Lessons, Mission Possible: Climate Tech, Women in PropTech, DEI Digest, Built Environment Bulletin, Built to Last, and Events). These content products function as marketing and community assets feeding the central LMRE Job Board and direct search engagements, with the careers portal and job board backed by Teamtailor as the operational platform.
