Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
How does CAM Recruiting work?
CAM Recruiting connects Florida Community Associations with Licensed CAMs through a relationship-driven process focused on long-term fit.
Each relationship begins with a conversation to understand needs, expectations, and goals. From there, opportunities are evaluated based on alignment, leadership style, and timing.
Do you work outside of Florida?
No. CAM Recruiting works exclusively within Florida.
That focus allows for a deeper understanding of the market, the communities, and the professionals who work within it.
How is this different from job boards or traditional recruiting?
This is not a posting-based or volume-driven model.
Matches are made through strategic interactions, relationship-building and mutual trust. The goal is alignment that holds up over time.
What types of communities do you work with?
CAM Recruiting works with a range of Florida Community Associations, with a strong focus on boards that value stability, leadership, and long-term success.
Questions for Boards of Directors of Associations
What value does CAM Recruiting add?
Over the past few years, the role of the General Manager has evolved. From managing complex capital projects to adopting new systems and maintaining a high-performing team, the scope of responsibilities continues to grow. CAM Recruiting has stayed on top of these changes and evaluates CAMs to meet these expectations.
What does a typical look like?
Every Board of Directors has felt the frustration of identifying the right CAM.
We try to make it simple. First, we maintain strict confidentiality.
Then we meet with your Board or Search Committee to learn about the culture of your association, its past, and your expectations of the future.
We listen to your needs then meet with CAMs who meet this criteria, You are introduced to only those who may be a good fit.
What defines success in a placement?
Success is measured by stability over time.
A successful placement means the Manager is aligned with the board’s expectations, the culture of the community, and the operational demands of the community.
It means trust is built, communication is clear, and leadership is steady.
Do you provide multiple candidates to choose from?
Of course! But, CAMs are introduced based on the expectations of the Board and the availability of CAMs who have the experience to deliver on those expectations.
The intent is to bring forward professionals who meet your specific needs.
Questions for Community Association Managers
Is this a job placement service?
CAM Recruiting focuses on long-term career alignment and professional relationships rather than immediate placement. We are not a job board or a resume referral service.
Do you guarantee placement?
No, there are no magic wands.
But we guarantee that your career goals are well defined and that you will be presented to the positions that become available that are able to advance your goals.
How do opportunities come up?
Opportunities develop through ongoing conversations with boards and associations.
When a role aligns with a CAM’s background and direction, that conversation moves forward.
What happens after we connect?
The first step is a conversation to understand your experience and career direction. We identify your career goals, your past experience and the value you will add to a community.
Relationships continues to develop over time. Many retiring CAMs have advanced their careers with CAM Recruiting.
Is there a cost for CAMs to participate?
We ask our CAMs to join our talent pool by registering with a one-time administrative fee of $49.
