Need to Hire Real Estate or Property Management Staff in Research?

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 Research and the wider North Eastern Suburbs area.

North-eastern offices tend to be independent rather than franchise-heavy, so roles carry more autonomy and candidates need to be comfortable working without a large support layer behind them.

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 Research?

Advertising reaches the people who happen to be looking this week. Around Research 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

Who We Recruit in Research

The roles we fill most often for Research 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.

  • Property Management BDM
  • Leasing Consultant
  • Leasing Manager
  • Property Management Team Leader
  • Head of Property Management
  • Portfolio Manager
  • Real Estate Administrator
  • Property Management Administrator
  • Office Manager
  • Trust Accountant

What Happens After You Submit a Vacancy

A Research 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.

Research and the Wider North Eastern Suburbs Market

Research sits within a well-connected Melbourne employment area. We also recruit in Montmorency, Briar Hill, Plenty and Yarrambat, which widens the realistic candidate pool for your role without asking anyone to change their commute unreasonably.

If a suitable candidate isn't available in Research right now, we will tell you where they are and what it would take.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 Research?
Yes - our search area includes Montmorency, Briar Hill, Plenty and Yarrambat and the wider North Eastern Suburbs area, which gives your role a realistic candidate pool rather than a single-suburb one.
Can you advise on salary for a Research 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 Research 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.
Which roles do you recruit for Research 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.
