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

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 is a specialist real estate and property recruitment agency. For employers in Melbourne CBD, that means property management recruitment handled by people who understand portfolios, not a generalist filling a seat.

City and city-fringe offices tend to manage apartment and high-density rent rolls, which changes what a Property Manager needs to be good at - owners corporation liaison, building manager relationships, high tenant turnover and short leasing windows.

We'll also tell you plainly when a salary range or portfolio size will make a role hard to fill - before you lose weeks finding out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recruit confidentially in Melbourne CBD?
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 Melbourne CBD?
Yes - our search area includes Southbank, Docklands and South Wharf and the wider Melbourne CBD & City Fringe area, which gives your role a realistic candidate pool rather than a single-suburb one.
Can you advise on salary for a Melbourne CBD 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 We do not publish fixed figures, because portfolio size, structure and support change them significantly.
