JA Recruitment is a specialist real estate and property recruitment agency. For employers in Oakleigh, that means property management recruitment handled by people who understand portfolios, not a generalist filling a seat.
South-eastern growth areas add managements steadily, which creates recurring demand for Assistant Property Managers, leasing staff and property management BDMs as departments scale rather than replace.
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.

What Happens After You Submit a Vacancy
A Oakleigh search begins with the detail: portfolio size, task split, software, reporting lines, salary range and timeframe. We then approach candidates directly rather than waiting to see who applies.
Screening covers practical capability - portfolio volume handled, arrears and inspection routines, trust accounting exposure and how someone communicates with landlords under pressure. You interview a short list of genuine options and we handle the coordination around it.
Oakleigh and the Wider South Eastern Suburbs Market
We recruit across Oakleigh, Chadstone, Oakleigh East, Oakleigh South and Huntingdale and the rest of South Eastern Suburbs, as well as the broader Melbourne market.
Agencies in this pocket compete for a shared pool of property management talent, which makes speed and salary positioning important. We're happy to give an honest read on both before you advertise.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you approach candidates who aren't applying for jobs?
- Yes, that is the core of the service. Most capable property management staff around Oakleigh 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 Oakleigh?
- 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 Oakleigh?
- Yes - our search area includes Chadstone, Oakleigh East, Oakleigh South and Huntingdale and the wider South Eastern Suburbs area, which gives your role a realistic candidate pool rather than a single-suburb one.
