Need to Hire Real Estate or Property Management Staff in Melbourne?

Submit your vacancy - portfolio size, team structure and salary range - and we'll come back with screened, shortlisted candidates.

Every enquiry is treated as strictly confidential.

JA Recruitment is a specialist real estate and property recruitment agency working with Melbourne agencies, property groups and asset owners who need to hire property management and real estate support staff.

Melbourne is not one recruitment market. A CBD apartment portfolio, an inner-east rent roll of period homes and a western-suburbs department that has doubled in size all need different people, and they compete for candidates in different ways. We recruit across all of them, which is why our advice is specific rather than generic.

We are not a sales-agent recruitment specialist. Our work is property management, leasing, business development, trust accounting and real estate administration - permanent appointments, screened properly before you see anyone.

Real Estate Recruitment Melbourne: How We Work

Every brief starts with a proper conversation: portfolio size and structure, how inspections, arrears and maintenance are split, the software in use, reporting lines, salary range and timeframe. That detail is what makes a shortlist accurate.

We then source rather than only advertise. Direct approaches to experienced Melbourne property staff, SEEK Talent Search, referrals and our existing candidate network do most of the work, because the strongest property management professionals are usually employed and not reading job ads.

You receive a written shortlist with notes on each candidate, and we coordinate interviews, feedback, reference checks and the offer.

  • Targeted candidate sourcing, not just job board advertising
  • Direct approach to passive candidates already in the industry
  • SEEK Talent Search and our existing candidate network
  • Screening and structured interviewing before you see anyone
  • A written shortlist with portfolio, software and salary detail
  • Interview coordination and feedback handled for you
  • Reference checking and offer support
  • Confidential searches for senior or sensitive replacements

Melbourne Areas We Recruit Across

Our coverage runs across the whole metropolitan area - the CBD and city fringe, inner Melbourne, the inner east, inner south and inner north, the eastern and south eastern suburbs, bayside, the northern and north eastern corridors, and the western and north western growth areas.

Candidates move between neighbouring offices far more often than they leave the industry, so searching a region rather than a suburb is what widens a shortlist. Suburb pages below cover each area in more detail.

Hiring Confidentially in Melbourne

Some appointments cannot be advertised. Replacing a property management team leader or department head, restructuring a department, or preparing for a rent roll acquisition all benefit from a confidential search.

We approach candidates directly, without your agency name entering the market before you choose to share it, and we brief you honestly on what the role can realistically attract.
