Need to Hire Real Estate or Property Management Staff in St Kilda?

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 St Kilda, 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 St Kilda

Most St Kilda 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.

  • SEEK Talent Search and our existing candidate network
  • Screening and structured interviewing before you see anyone

  • Interview coordination and feedback handled for you
  • Reference checking and offer support
  • Confidential searches for senior or sensitive replacements
  • Targeted candidate sourcing, not just job board advertising
  • Direct approach to passive candidates already in the industry

How a St Kilda Search Runs

We start with a short briefing call to understand the portfolio and the team the role sits in. From there we build a target list of candidates - people already doing comparable work in St Kilda and nearby - and approach them directly and confidentially.

Suitable candidates are interviewed by us before you see them, and you receive a written shortlist rather than forwarded résumés. We then coordinate your interviews, collect feedback both ways, complete reference checks and support the offer.

Where We Search Around St Kilda

We recruit across St Kilda, Albert Park, Middle Park, St Kilda East and Elwood 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

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 St Kilda 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 St Kilda 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 St Kilda?
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 St Kilda 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 St Kilda?
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.
