SINGAPORE, 24 July 2013 – PropertyGuru launched Singapore’s first real estate online jobs section catered for consumers seeking career opportunities in the property market. This specialised employment section is located on the PropertyGuru website at http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/singapore-property-resources/real-estate-jobs, featuring detailed information on the latest job offerings in the real estate market to connect prospective applicants with top real estate agencies in Singapore.

With demand for real estate growing in this highly competitive business of buying and selling residential and commercial properties, real estate agencies look to recruit via clutter-free advertising solutions,” mentioned Winnie Khoo, Managing Director of PropertyGuru’s Real Estate Business Division.
“With the real estate jobs section, not only do agencies have a low-cost option that garners them the most exposure in the search of talented professionals, potential job-seekers interested can likewise have an exclusive avenue to explore the latest employment opportunities in the property market available in real time.”
