Real estate and construction industries have some common concerns these days: Inflation, rising interest rates, potential recession, and lagging investors. At the same time, PropTech is playing a significantly larger role in creating efficiencies and opportunities. It’s impacted the headhunting process as well. Companies seeking leaders are factoring in experience with PropTech in executive searches.
Modern executives need to understand how to leverage this technology and guide implementation across their organizations. Not only must they have deep experience leading companies, but they also have to have the potential of PropTech to move their organization forward. Such knowledge is crucial to building responsive and agile organizations to compete effectively.
PIXCELL is at the forefront of this integration, conducting real estate technology executive searches and construction executive searches to meet the rapidly changing environment.
Two-thirds of real estate leaders are in the process of adopting new technology. A similar transformation is underway in the construction trade as well, impacting the planning, design, and execution of projects. Already, the PropTech market is valued at $26.87 billion and growing at a CAGR of 16.5%.
So, what is PropTech? Short for property technology, it includes residential estate, commercial real estate, and construction software that manages the entire asset lifecycle. PropTech streamlines and automates processes, and leverages technology like AI, process automation, and data analytics to optimize the real estate transaction and construction process.
For private companies or investment trusts, PropTech provides a significant competitive advantage when it comes to the velocity of deals and client experience. Nearly two-thirds of industry leaders that have adopted PropTech reported increased efficiency, reduced costs, and increased revenue streams, according to an EY survey. 87% reported the need for accelerated technology investment to capture and leverage data.
Just as technology is evolving the way companies operate, the role of real estate headhunters and construction headhunters has evolved as well. It’s no longer good enough to find someone with industry experience. The next generation of leaders must understand the digital landscape.
PIXCELL is committed to finding the right person and employs a proven strategy for results. It starts by discussing an organization’s specific needs.

Here is an example of how we work. A private real estate company that was highly invested in multi-family units was looking for a Chief Operating Officer, who could be part of their succession planning for their current CEO. It was essential that their COO has a firm grasp on PropTech to move their business forward.
The real estate technology headhunting process delivered a highly qualified candidate. Within six months, the new executive put together a data-driven deal-making system to analyze deal potential more efficiently and quickly. This resulted in faster decision-making and more accurate market analysis.
