ANOTHR is a specialist talent business for the client side of property, built on a residential real estate desk that knows the operators personally. It was founded by Braydan Hartigan after a career selling some of Sydney's most expensive homes, to put the right people in front of the businesses that sell, manage, own and develop property.

Get To Know Us
Built On The Desk We Came From
ANOTHR started as a residential real estate desk and still runs on one. Sales, property management and the support layer that holds an office together, across independent and franchise networks in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. It is the largest part of what we do, the deepest network we have, and the reason the phone gets answered when we call a principal.
From that base we work the client side of property: project marketing, new homes and land, strata, and the developers, funds and operators who own and run buildings. Narrow by design. The claim is not that we cover property. It is that we know everyone in the corners we work.
The team is four people. Braydan Hartigan, William Ellem and Christian Milan on the desk, and Paige Hinton, Executive Assistant, running everything behind them. Small enough that the person who took your brief is the person who fills it.
The Founder
Braydan Hartigan
Before recruitment, Braydan sold real estate in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs with The Rubinstein Group, working alongside some of Australia's top real estate agents on some of the most expensive residential property in the country. In 2022, at 21 and 22 years old, he and his sales partner sold $37.5 million worth of homes across Vaucluse, Bellevue Hill, Randwick, Rose Bay, North Bondi and Breakfast Point.
He was managing listings of $10 million and above, in rooms where the properties ran past $80 million. Getting through those doors at that age meant learning how principals, vendors and owners actually make decisions, and how to hold a room full of people with far more experience.
Seven years across real estate, sales and recruitment in QLD, NSW and VIC later, that is the background ANOTHR is built on. Braydan founded the business to recruit for the industry he came from, with the people he worked beside in it, and to treat candidates as individuals rather than entries in a database.
My Strengths
What That Background Buys You
The unfair advantage of a solo founder is rarely the process. It is where they have been and who they know.
What Makes Us Different
The Codes We Live By
We Are Bold
We tell clients when a brief won't attract anyone, and we tell candidates when a move is a mistake. Both conversations cost us work sometimes.
We Are Honest
You see the real salary band, the real reason the last person left, and the real state of the market — not the version that closes fastest.
We Are Committed
We work a small number of roles properly rather than a long list badly. If we take your brief, it gets our attention until it's filled.
How We Operate
Direction Before We Execute
We don’t take a brief and start throwing CVs. We work to understand the business first — how the team is set up, why there’s turnover if there is, what the onboarding actually looks like — so a placement holds instead of repeating in three months. And because the best people are rarely actively looking, the work runs on relationships, not job ads. Four ways to engage us, one page:
Why Property?
South East Queensland is in the middle of a once-in-a-generation run — population growth, the Olympics build-up, and a development pipeline that outstrips the talent available to deliver it.
That gap is exactly where we work. The agencies, strata firms and developers who win this decade will be the ones who hire ahead of it — and we exist to make sure that's our clients.
What OurPartners Say
“Throughout the whole process, Braydan was incredibly clear and precise with all the details and the candidates. He truly understood exactly who I was looking for and successfully placed the perfect candidate in the position. I’m very happy with his work and his team.”
“Braydan was exceptional to deal with. Knowing the industry and the specifics of this particular role meant when I gave him my wish list he was equipped to find the perfect match. I've connected with many recruiters in my career but Braydans unwavering investment in providing the perfect candidate and his personable approach to the service he offers is the point of difference that makes him a stand put in the field. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future.”
“Five stars. Verified employer review on SEEK.”
“Braydan has been a great help. Initially, he got in contact two years ago. He helped me find my first role in real estate, and the goal was always to be a sales agent. He helped me find my first role in leasing, and then, 12 months later, was able to help me find a sales role. We kept in contact throughout the whole process, and he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking to do, but then also gave me the guidance on how my career progression should flow. His guidance was fantastic”
“From the moment I spoke to Braydan, his first priority was understanding exactly the type of person we needed. The process was simple and straightforward—would highly recommend.”
“Brayden was brilliant, kept me in the loop with everything. Was completely transparent throughout the process and landed me exactly what I was looking for!”
“Braydan started the whole process straight away, was very precise, and understood exactly who we needed. Out of the three candidates he put in front of us, we ended up hiring two.”
