For property management teams
Hire your next leasing agent, tech or manager without reading 80 resumes
Property management hiring has its own tells — leasing software fluency, fair-housing-aware language, trade certifications, how someone actually handles a resident dispute. ReqGenius screens for those, not just keyword matches, and interviews your best candidates by AI before you spend an hour on a phone screen.
Built for how you actually hire
Three roles, three different interviews
The AI interview is generated from your job description, so a leasing posting and a maintenance posting ask genuinely different questions — not the same generic screen with the title swapped.
Leasing agents & consultants
The AI interview probes how a candidate handles a fair-housing-sensitive leasing conversation and a prospect who wants an exception to policy — not just whether they can recite the floor plans.
Maintenance technicians
Screens for the certifications a work order actually requires (EPA 608, HVAC, electrical) and the interview walks through prioritizing a backlog during a hot-water-outage weekend.
Property & assistant managers
Scored against occupancy, renewal-rate and delinquency language in context, then interviewed on how they'd handle a resident dispute that's about to escalate to a complaint.
Job titles we screen for
Property management roles we're built around
Every title below gets its own criteria — tap one to see what the resume screen and AI interview actually look for.
Leasing Agent / Consultant
The AI interview walks the candidate through a fair-housing-sensitive leasing call and a prospect pushing for a policy exception, so you see how they actually talk to people before they're on your floor. The resume screen looks for tour-to-lease conversion and prior leasing-software hours, not just 'customer service' on a resume.
Assistant Property Manager
Scored against resident-dispute handling and the paperwork side of the role — notices, renewals, delinquency follow-up — read in the context of your property type rather than a generic 'admin support' match. The interview probes how they'd triage three things going wrong on the same afternoon.
Maintenance Technician
Screens for the certifications a work order actually requires — EPA 608, HVAC, electrical, plumbing — against what your posting specifies, so a candidate who's licensed for the wrong trade doesn't slip through. The interview walks through prioritizing a backlog during a hot-water-outage weekend.
Make-Ready / Turn Technician
Scored on turnaround speed and the specific punch-list skills (paint, flooring, appliance swaps) your property needs between move-out and move-in, not a generic maintenance keyword match. The AI interview asks how they'd handle a turn that's running behind with a new resident already scheduled.
Leasing Manager
Screened for how they coach a leasing team toward occupancy and renewal goals, plus how they'd handle an agent who's cutting corners on fair-housing language. Candidates with experience running concessions and renewal campaigns, not just leasing as an individual, score higher here.
Property Manager
Resume screen reads occupancy, renewal-rate and delinquency numbers in context instead of taking one headline figure at face value, and checks for the specific PM platform your team runs on. The AI interview covers a resident dispute that's about to escalate into a formal complaint.
Maintenance Supervisor
Looks for crew-scheduling and vendor-management experience on top of the trade certifications, since this role is as much about running the team as fixing the unit. Interview questions probe how they'd handle a make-ready falling behind right before a move-in date.
Resident Services Coordinator
Checked for how they handle resident complaints, amenity scheduling and the renewal-retention conversations that keep a property's occupancy healthy. The interview includes a scenario about a resident threatening to leave a bad review mid-dispute, to see how they'd actually respond.
What the screen actually looks at
The details a generic ATS skims past
Most applicant tracking systems were built for office roles and treat a property management resume like any other. ReqGenius's resume parser is pointed at your job description, so it reads for what actually predicts success in a leasing or maintenance role.
- Leasing and PM software experience (Yardi, AppFolio, RealPage, Entrata) instead of a generic "property management software" keyword match
- Fair housing awareness and language, read for how a candidate actually talks about prospects and policy exceptions
- Maintenance certifications and trade licenses (EPA 608, HVAC, electrical, plumbing) relevant to the posted role
- Occupancy, renewal-rate and delinquency track record, read in context rather than taken as a single headline number
Questions property management teams ask
Before you post your first role
Can ReqGenius screen for fair housing compliance specifically?
The AI interview includes scenario questions that reveal how a candidate talks about prospects, exceptions and denials, and the scorecard flags language worth a closer look. It's a screening signal for you to evaluate, not a compliance certification or legal determination.
Does this work for on-site maintenance roles, not just leasing/office staff?
Yes — write (or have ReqGenius's JD Writer draft) the maintenance posting with the certifications and trade licenses the role needs, and the resume screen and AI interview are built around that, separate from leasing-role criteria.
We manage multiple properties with different hiring needs. Does Always-On make sense?
If you're filling leasing and maintenance seats across more than one property through the year, Always-On ($299/mo, 3 roles open at once, unlimited team seats) usually works out cheaper per hire than buying Per Role again and again. One-off vacancies are still fine on Per Role.
Can a regional manager see candidates across every property's openings?
Always-On's unlimited team seats mean a regional manager or ops lead can see every open role and candidate across properties in one dashboard, instead of checking in with each site manager separately.
