JA Recruitment works with real estate agencies, property groups and asset owners hiring property management and support staff in West Melbourne and the wider Melbourne CBD & City Fringe area.
City and city-fringe offices tend to manage apartment and high-density rent rolls, which changes what a Property Manager needs to be good at - owners corporation liaison, building manager relationships, high tenant turnover and short leasing windows.
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 West Melbourne?
Advertising reaches the people who happen to be looking this week. Around West 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
