Submit your vacancy - portfolio size, team structure and salary range - and we'll come back with screened, shortlisted candidates.
JA Recruitment recruits property management and real estate support staff for Cairns agencies, property groups and asset owners - permanent appointments, sourced directly and screened before they reach your shortlist.
Cairns is a compact, closely connected market, and that changes the recruitment approach. Candidate pools per role are tight, reputations travel quickly, and advertising a vacancy publicly is often the least effective option available to you.
Our specialisation is property management, leasing, business development, trust accounting and real estate administration. We are not a sales-agent recruitment specialist.
Real Estate Recruitment Cairns: How We Work
We start with the practical detail of the role: portfolio size and structure, how arrears, inspections and maintenance are handled, software, reporting lines, salary range and timeframe.
Sourcing is then targeted rather than passive - direct approaches to experienced Cairns property staff, SEEK Talent Search, referrals and our existing candidate network. We screen and interview before presenting anyone.
You receive a written shortlist with notes, and we handle interview coordination, feedback, references and offer support.

- SEEK Talent Search and our existing candidate network

Cairns Areas We Recruit Across
Our coverage includes the city and inner suburbs, the established northern suburbs, the northern beaches, the southern corridor, and the districts and Far North centres around Cairns.
Because the region is compact, candidates will often consider roles across several of these areas. Searching that way is usually the difference between a shortlist and a single applicant.
Hiring Confidentially in Cairns
In a market this connected, a public advertisement tells your competitors and your landlords more than you may want. Senior replacements and department restructures are better handled as a confidential search.
We approach suitable candidates directly and only introduce your agency once there is genuine mutual interest.
