Real results from real CRE firms.
Relay isn’t a staffing agency. We’re a global workforce partner built for CRE operators who can’t afford to get this wrong.
Relay has been a game changer for our company. We were able to on-board a team of talented professionals quickly who understand the nuances of the commercial real estate industry. Their expertise and attention to detail have helped us to streamline our operations and achieve our objectives with significant cost savings.
Alex Kakhnovets — Senior Director of Leasing, Boxer Property
Our international team members have been a big help on the Asset Management side, and we view them as an integral part of our team. The Yardi expertise they brought in saved us months of onboarding time we simply didn’t have.

About Relay Human Cloud
12+ years supporting CRE operations globally.
Relay was built in Dallas, specifically for CRE operators. Not a general staffing agency that learned CRE. CRE is where we started, over a decade ago.
When you hire through Relay, you get talent sourced, vetted, and supported by people who live inside this industry. We’re also a proud member of Yardi’s Independent Consultant Network, a reflection of our platform depth and standing in the CRE technology community.

Common Questions
We've heard every concern. Here's the honest answer.
Will a remote team member really understand our Yardi setup and CRE workflows?
Yes — because we vet specifically for it. Every Relay candidate is assessed on Yardi module knowledge, CRE accounting workflows, and prior real estate experience before they reach you. And as a Yardi Independent Consultant Network member, we also run a proprietary Yardi training program to close any gaps. This is not a general hire who "can learn" Yardi. It's someone who already knows it.
What happens if the placement doesn't work out?
Swap or fire without penalty — it's that simple. If something isn't working, we re-source at no additional cost. Long-term retention isn't just a value for us — it's how our business model works. We're as invested in the right fit as you are.
How are time zones and communication handled?
We prioritize candidates in time zones with meaningful overlap with U.S. core hours. Our CRE placements regularly attend live standups, respond in Slack and email during your team's working hours, and are fully integrated into your communication tools. It works because we design it to work from day one.
Is this the same as an outsourcing firm or vendor?
Not at all. Outsourcing vendors manage your talent for you and rotate people across clients. Your Relay hire works only for you, full-time, under your direct management and supervision. You set their agenda, run their reviews, and build a real working relationship. Relay is your HR and compliance infrastructure — invisible to the workflow, essential to the employment structure.
We tried offshore hiring before and it didn't work. What's different?
Most offshore failures come from a shared-resource or freelance model where your work competes for someone's attention. Relay placements are dedicated — one role, one company, full-time. Add in first-class office infrastructure, local HR support, and a Relay account rep in Dallas actively managing the engagement, and the structure is fundamentally different. The results are too.
