Need to Hire Real Estate or Property Management Staff in Glen Iris?

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.

JA Recruitment works with real estate agencies, property groups and asset owners hiring property management and support staff in Glen Iris and the wider Inner East area.

The inner east is dense with long-established rent rolls and investor landlords who expect senior-level communication. Agencies here often recruit for experience and presentation rather than volume-handling speed.

Because we recruit only in real estate and property, we can be specific with you about what your role will attract: the level of experience realistically available, where a shortlist is likely to come from, and what will need to change if the brief is difficult to fill.

Recruiting Real Estate Staff in Glen Iris?

Advertising reaches the people who happen to be looking this week. Around Glen Iris that is a small slice of the available property management talent, and rarely the strongest slice.

Our sourcing runs wider: direct approaches to experienced property staff, SEEK Talent Search, and the candidates already registered with us who told us what would make them move. Everything is confidential on both sides.

  • Confidential searches for senior or sensitive replacements
  • 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

Roles We Recruit for Glen Iris Agencies

The roles we fill most often for Glen Iris employers sit inside property management departments: portfolio Property Managers, assistant roles for people building experience, dedicated leasing staff, and BDMs for agencies growing a rent roll.

We deliberately do not position ourselves as a sales-agent recruiter. Property management, leasing, business development and real estate support is where our candidate network is genuinely strong.

How a Glen Iris 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 Glen Iris 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recruit confidentially in Glen Iris?
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.
Do you cover suburbs near Glen Iris?
Yes - our search area includes Burwood East, Ashburton, Malvern and Malvern East and the wider Inner East area, which gives your role a realistic candidate pool rather than a single-suburb one.
Can you advise on salary for a Glen Iris property management role?
We can share what we are currently seeing on comparable Melbourne briefs and in candidate conversations. We do not publish fixed figures, because portfolio size, structure and support change them significantly.
Are you a sales-agent recruitment agency?
No. Our specialisation is property management, leasing, business development and real estate support staff. That focus is why our shortlists in this area are short and relevant.
How quickly can you shortlist a Glen Iris vacancy?
It depends on the role and salary range, but because we are already speaking with property management staff across Melbourne, most briefs move to a shortlist far faster than an advertising campaign.
