Need to Hire Real Estate or Property Management Staff in Kew?
Submit your vacancy - portfolio size, team structure and salary range - and we'll come back with screened, shortlisted property management candidates.
Real estate recruitment in Kew 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. 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.
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 Kew 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 Kew 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 Kew 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 Kew
Property staff around Kew move between neighbouring offices, so we search the whole area rather than a single postcode. Our coverage here includes Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Kew East and Camberwell and the wider Inner East 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
- 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 Kew?
- 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 Kew?
- Yes - our search area includes Hawthorn, Hawthorn East, Kew East and Camberwell 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 Kew 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.
