The responsibility of hiring new brokers is typically not one of the designated duties of a Broker-in-Charge (BIC). While a BIC oversees the operations of a real estate firm and ensures compliance with regulations, their main focus centers around managing the firm's transactions, maintaining proper trust accounts, ensuring adherence to advertising guidelines, and retaining necessary records related to real estate activities.
Hiring practices, including recruitment and employment decisions for new brokers, often fall under the business management aspect and can be executed by the firm's owner or a designated manager rather than being a direct duty of the BIC. Therefore, this makes it distinct from the primary responsibilities the BIC is expected to uphold, which are directly related to operational oversight and regulatory compliance within the firm.
