Submit your vacancy - portfolio size, team structure and salary range - and we'll come back with screened, shortlisted property management candidates.
JA Recruitment is a specialist real estate and property recruitment agency. For employers in Port Melbourne, that means property management recruitment handled by people who understand portfolios, not a generalist filling a seat.
Inner-south agencies commonly split leasing away from portfolio management, so recruitment briefs are frequently for a dedicated Leasing Consultant or a portfolio Property Manager rather than an all-rounder.
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.
Hiring Property Management Staff in Port Melbourne
Most Port Melbourne briefs come from principals, directors and property management department heads who have already tried advertising. We start by working out why the role isn't converting, then go looking properly.
We recruit permanent staff, so candidates are assessed for whether they will still be in the role in two years - not just whether they can start on Monday.

What Happens After You Submit a Vacancy
A Port Melbourne 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.
Port Melbourne and the Wider Inner South Market
We recruit across Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Middle Park and St Kilda and the rest of Inner South, 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
- Which roles do you recruit for Port Melbourne 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 Port Melbourne?
- 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 Port Melbourne 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 Port Melbourne?
- 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.
