Working at CoStar
Shine and Rise with CoStar
What does it take to shine? Showing real initiative? Outperforming everyone else around you? When the question is your career, the answers aren’t always obvious. But this much is certain: You’ll shine brighter with a company that brings out the best of your ambition, energy and talents. We’re CoStar Group. For over 22 years we’ve made it our business to help our employees excel. From accounting to research, from sales to product development, we know our success is reflected in your success.
At CoStar, good things happen when you shine. You see the evidence of that in every department: It’s the former staff accountant that now heads finance. It’s the former sales rep that leads U.S. sales. Or it’s the former field researcher that manages the industry’s largest research organization. On and on it goes, dozens of home grown examples of men and women that interviewed here … and never looked back. The fact is, no company succeeds if it doesn’t retain good people. So it’s long been our policy to meet exceptional effort with exceptional reward. You shine. You rise. Wherever you set your career path while working at CoStar, you can count on continuous training and development from the industry leader.
Find success with CoStar as a Sales Executive, Inside Sales Executive, Research Associate, Customer Service Manager, Call Center Manager, Analyst, SQL Developer, Network Engineer, DBA, .Net Developer, Photographer, or Economist.

Isaiah Buchanan : Research Photographer II (2 years)
As a field researcher, I'm on my own every day. So I take great pride on the accuracy of the data that's posted within our products. That's me. That's my data. My cousins hear about what I do and ask, "Where can I get a job like that?" It's the kind of work you like doing from the day's first property all the way through to the last one.
Scott Gabor : Account Executive (3 years)
When I was a staffing recruiter, CoStar was one of my clients. When the time came to make a switch, I asked myself, "Which one of my clients would I work for?" Most people don't have that inside knowledge. I did. I knew CoStar was the very best at what they do. What makes more sense than working for the best? It was the smartest career move I ever made.
Trish Gray : Major Accounts Manager
(11 years)
I started as a researcher. But I knew I wanted to get on the legal side of the business. So after about six months here, I interviewed for an opening in our contracts group. I now lead accounting's major accounts team. I feel very fortunate. My team and I are at the center of many high profile projects, including working with our top clients. To top it off, I'm nearly finished with law school.
Janet Nguyen : Director, Employee Relations & Benefits
(2 years)
With CoStar, the pace is quick and there are fewer layers of management. That usually means if you're self-motivated and a hard worker, you'll enjoy a high level of autonomy and responsibility executing the company's goals. To be honest, the experience I've had here would take me 10 years to gain elsewhere. CoStar is about passion and never accepting the status quo.
