Why brief us for a property manager

Property & real estate hiring in Johannesburg is competitive, and the strongest property managers are rarely on the job boards. We work our Gauteng network directly.

  • A real conversation about the role before we advertise anything — scope, seniority and the must-haves.
  • Arrears and maintenance, so we screen for that first.
  • Candidates verified for right-to-work in South Africa and the qualifications the role requires.
  • One consultant, WhatsApp-fast, from brief to offer — no account-manager relay.

Questions about hiring a property manager in Johannesburg

How do I hire a property manager in Johannesburg?
Send Effekt Studios a short brief for the role. We draw on our Gauteng network and a nationwide candidate pool, screen against your must-haves, and send a shortlist of property managers — typically within days, not weeks. You only pay a placement fee once someone you hire starts.
What does it cost to recruit a property manager through an agency?
Our placement fee is 15–20% of the successful candidate's annual cost to company, payable only on a successful start and backed by a replacement guarantee. Candidates are never charged. There are no upfront or retainer fees for a standard permanent search.
How long does it take to fill a property manager role in Johannesburg?
For an in-demand property & real estate role we usually return a first shortlist within a few working days. Arrears and maintenance, so we prioritise a fast, well-briefed search over a long one.
Do you place property managers outside Johannesburg?
Yes. We are based in Limpopo and place property managers across Gauteng and the rest of South Africa, including remote and hybrid roles where the position allows.
