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

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

Every enquiry is treated as strictly confidential.

Real estate recruitment in Fairfield sits inside a closely connected Melbourne market where people move between neighbouring offices rather than out of the industry.

That is useful when you have a specialist recruiter mapping it. Inner-north departments are typically lean, which means one Property Manager carries more decision-making than they would in a larger office. Hiring the wrong level of experience shows up quickly in arrears and routine inspections.

We work on permanent appointments across property management, leasing, business development, trust accounting and real estate administration, including confidential replacements at team leader and department head level.

Why Fairfield Agencies Use a Specialist Recruiter

Replacing a Property Manager badly is expensive - arrears slip, routine inspections fall behind and landlords notice. Our process is built to avoid that: targeted sourcing, structured screening and honest feedback on what your role can attract.

Where the hire is sensitive, such as replacing a team leader or department head, we run the search confidentially so nothing reaches your team or your landlords early.

  • 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
  • Targeted candidate sourcing, not just job board advertising

How a Fairfield Search Runs

We start with a short briefing call to understand the portfolio and the team the role sits in. From there we build a target list of candidates - people already doing comparable work in Fairfield and nearby - and approach them directly and confidentially.

Suitable candidates are interviewed by us before you see them, and you receive a written shortlist rather than forwarded résumés. We then coordinate your interviews, collect feedback both ways, complete reference checks and support the offer.

Where We Search Around Fairfield

Property staff around Fairfield move between neighbouring offices, so we search the whole area rather than a single postcode. Our coverage here includes Preston, Reservoir, Alphington and Ivanhoe and the wider Inner North area.

That matters for your shortlist: a strong candidate a few suburbs away will often consider your role, but they will almost never see your advertisement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which roles do you recruit for Fairfield agencies?
Property Managers, Senior Property Managers, Assistant Property Managers, property management BDMs, Leasing Consultants and Leasing Managers, team leaders and Heads of Property Management, trust accounting and real estate administration staff.
How do I hire a Property Manager in Fairfield?
Start with a short conversation or submit a vacancy through this page. We take the detail that matters - portfolio size, structure, software and salary range - then approach suitable candidates directly, screen and interview them, and send a written shortlist.
Do you approach candidates who aren't applying for jobs?
Yes, that is the core of the service. Most capable property management staff around Fairfield are employed and not actively looking, so we approach them directly and confidentially rather than waiting for applications.
Do you use SEEK Talent Search as well as your own network?
We do. Sourcing usually combines direct approaches, SEEK Talent Search, referrals and the candidates already registered with us. Advertising is one channel, not the whole search.
Can you recruit confidentially in Fairfield?
Yes. Replacing a senior team member or restructuring a department can be run as a confidential search, so nothing reaches your team, your competitors or your landlords before you're ready.
Do you recruit permanent or temporary staff?
Our focus is permanent appointments. We would rather help you make one hire that lasts than fill a seat quickly.
What is included in a shortlist?
Written notes on each candidate: portfolio size handled, software experience, arrears and inspection routines, trust accounting exposure, salary expectation, notice period and why they are considering a move.
