Job description

Senior Recruitment Consultant - Property & Development

Established clients. Uncapped commission. A high‑performing team that supports your success.

Are you an experienced recruiter looking for a fresh challenge, greater earning potential and the opportunity to build your reputation in Melbourne's property market?

Gough Recruitment is expanding its Melbourne team, and we're looking for an ambitious, commercially driven Senior Recruitment Consultant to specialise in Property & Development.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established national brand, leverage existing client relationships and work alongside a collaborative, high-performing team.

We're particularly interested in speaking with experienced recruiters, but we're also open to professionals from across the property industry who have strong networks, commercial experience and a genuine interest in recruitment.
Why Join Gough? We believe in rewarding performance, investing in our people and creating an environment where motivated individuals can thrive.

• Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
• Annual performance bonus
• Onsite gym with complimentary membership
• Wellness allowance
• Collaborative, supportive and high-performing Melbourne team
• Ongoing training, mentoring and professional development
• Autonomy to develop your market and manage your desk like your own business
• Strong national relationships and opportunities across Australia and Asia
• Regular incentives, team celebrations and company events
• Experienced and approachable leadership team
• Genuine opportunities to increase your earnings and develop your career

You’ll be joining a team that works hard, shares opportunities and celebrates success. We value collaboration, accountability and providing an exceptional service to our clients and candidates.

The Opportunity You’ll take ownership of a specialist recruitment desk across Melbourne’s Property & Development sectors, partnering with leading property groups, developers, agencies and asset managers.

With established relationships and active opportunities already in place, you’ll have a strong foundation to build on while developing your own client network and growing your market presence.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing and developing established client relationships
• Identifying and converting new business opportunities
• Building strong networks across the Property & Development industries
• Meeting with clients and providing recruitment and market advice
• Taking detailed job briefs and identifying suitable candidates
• Managing the full recruitment process from initial brief through to placement
• Negotiating offers and delivering successful outcomes
• Developing your LinkedIn presence and industry reputation
• Collaborating with consultants across Melbourne and our national offices
• Delivering an exceptional level of service to clients and candidates

This is an opportunity to take ownership of your market, build long-term relationships and enjoy the financial rewards of running a successful recruitment desk.
About You We’re looking for someone who is commercially minded, motivated, confident and passionate about building relationships.

Ideally, you’ll already have recruitment experience, whether that’s within Property, Development, Construction or another specialist recruitment market.
However, we’re also interested in speaking with high-performing professionals from across the wider property industry, including:

• Commercial and Retail Property
• Residential Real Estate and Property Management
• Property Development
• Asset and Facilities Management
• Leasing and Sales
• Construction and Project Management
• Property-related Business Development and Account Management

• A proven background in recruitment, sales or relationship management
• Strong business development and networking skills
• Confidence engaging with senior clients and industry professionals
• A proactive, commercially focused and solutions-driven approach
• Excellent communication, negotiation and influencing skills
• A collaborative attitude and willingness to contribute to team success
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
• A track record of achieving targets and delivering results
• A genuine commitment to exceptional customer service

For those coming from the property industry, we’ll provide the recruitment training, systems and support needed to make a successful transition.
