What our clients and candidates say about working with Refit
Retail Real Estate
Filled a General Manager role for a major REIT overseeing a key LA retail asset. The client needed a steady, senior operator to take over fast, someone with site-level leadership experience and strong tenant relationships. We delivered the right candidate in just 3 weeks.

Some more nice words about us (we secretly love it)
Patrick just got it. We gave him a tricky Leasing Director brief, niche location, tough timing but he delivered a great list. We’ve used big firms before, but Refit felt sharper, more focused. Would 100% recommend.
Melissa R., Director of Asset Ops
Keira is genuinely the best recruiter I’ve worked with in decades, honest, responsive, and actually listened to what I was looking for. Got me into a Retail dev lead role that fits like a glove. Didn’t feel transactional, which is rare.
Chris L. Candidate (Retail Development)
Refit helped us hire our new Centre Manager after two failed attempts with other agencies. Keira took time to understand the culture, not just the JD, you can tell they’ve worked this space properly.
Rory D., Portfolio Manager
Landed my Facilities Lead job through Patrick. Chill guy but on it! Kept things moving, prepped me well for interview, and was transparent the whole way. Appreciated how easy it was. Cheers.
Alicia N., Candidate (Facilities)
We were scaling across three retail parks and needed someone to oversee ops across them all. Refit got us a Regional Manager who was up and running in straight after short notice, brilliant.
Samir B., COO, Retail Group
Was approached about a Centre Ops role. Keira didn’t pressure - just sent the details, answered my (many) questions, and let me decide. I’m six months in and loving it. Thanks again!
