Need to Hire Real Estate or Property Management Staff in South Melbourne?
Submit your vacancy - portfolio size, team structure and salary range - and we'll come back with screened, shortlisted property management candidates.
JA Recruitment works with real estate agencies, property groups and asset owners hiring property management and support staff in South Melbourne and the wider Inner South area.
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.
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 South Melbourne?
Advertising reaches the people who happen to be looking this week. Around South Melbourne 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
