For Candidates
Confidentially Advance Your Career.
Why Use CRE Confidential®?
The executive search industry is broken—run by recruiters who lack real CRE experience and leadership insight. CRE Confidential® is different.
Founded by award-winning executive Michelle Duncum, a 25+ year CRE veteran in multifamily management, development, architecture, and design, this platform was built with a simple but powerful mission: to give proven leaders a discreet way to explore career opportunities—without exposure, risk, or wasted time.
Unlike traditional recruiters, Michelle isn’t just a middleman—she’s been in your seat. She’s built, led, and scaled businesses, hired executive teams, and understands what truly matters when running a multimillion dollar operation.
What Makes CRE Confidential® Different?
Real Industry Expertise, Not Just Recruiting Tactics. Most recruiters have never operated in CRE outside of recruiting. Michelle has. She speaks the language of executives and the business and knows what hiring managers actually want.
A Smarter, More Confidential Approach. No public job postings. No LinkedIn or email blasts. Only high-level strategy—you are shared discreetly.
More Than Just a Job Search—It’s Career Strategy. This isn’t about throwing resumes at companies. It’s about making the right move, at the right time, with the right people.
A Private, Curated Network. No wasted time. No unnecessary risks.
Most recruiters work for the hiring company—not for you. Michelle built this platform to work for both. Because leadership moves should be strategic, discreet, and built on trust and real CRE C-suite experience.
