Barnard
Partners

Property recruitment built on precision, trust & long-term partnerships.

Property recruitment, done properly

Barnard Partners is a specialist recruiter for Australian residential, commercial and development property. Deliberate search, honest advice, and placements that are still working a year later.

We don’t aim to be the biggest. We aim to be the most trusted.

Deep property knowledge.

Not generalist recruitment..

Property is a relationship industry, but too much of its recruitment still runs on CV floods and quick placements that don't stick.

We take the opposite approach.

Fewer briefs, taken seriously. Every candidate spoken to, assessed, and genuinely considered before you meet them.

The Barnard way

Recruitment built on relationships, not volume.

Barnard Partners

Property is a relationship industry, but too much of its recruitment still runs on CV floods and quick placements that don't stick.

We take the opposite approach. Fewer briefs, taken seriously. Every candidate spoken to, assessed, and genuinely considered before you meet them.

That means straight answers on the market, access to people who aren't scrolling job boards, and a recruiter you never have to chase.

We're not trying to be the biggest name in property recruitment. 


We're building the one you trust when the outcome genuinely matters.

Owen reached out a while back, but at the time I wasn't ready to move. When he contacted me again it was exactly the right time. Rather than sending me random opportunities, he took the time to understand what would be the right fit.

Within ten days he'd organised two interviews and helped me secure a role with the best company on the Northern Beaches.

Marco, Candidate

Owen helped me find a great position with a strong local agency. I wasn't even aware they were hiring.

He went above and beyond, putting together interviews with a number of agencies that weren't outwardly advertising. Had some interviews, and within two weeks I had three offers come through.

Christopher, Candidate

Owen was very proactive with sending potential candidates, provided key points to consider, and was very responsive when contacted for further information.

Sophia, Employer

Owen was responsible, detail-oriented, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. He made everything smooth and stress-free, and I truly appreciate the effort he put into finding the right role for me.

I'd recommend Owen to anyone looking for a recruiter who genuinely cares and delivers results.

Vivian, Candidate

Owen was excellent with his communications and transparency, which is not often seen in the recruitment industry.

I recommend him highly.

Tom, Employer

Great to deal with, very supportive, yet still genuine.

His approach to helping me find where I want to be felt easy and stress free. Very grateful for his help and would definitely recommend speaking with him first.

Christina, Candidate

Good questions

The things people ask us first.

How long?

Roles filled, not shortlists sent.
Most searches close within four to six weeks.
Owen runs every brief himself, so you are not waiting on a junior to get up to speed.

What roles?

Property, end to end.
Residential sales and property management, commercial agency, development and project delivery, and the corporate roles that sit behind them.

Guarantee?

Yep, a three month guarantee.
If a placement leaves inside three months, we replace them at no additional cost. 93% of placements are still there after a year, so it rarely comes to that.

Cost?

No surprises. Like zero surprises.
Fees are agreed before we start and confirmed in writing.
Nothing changes partway through.

Exclusivity

Usually, yes.
Exclusive briefs get the full search.
It is how we keep the standard consistent across 160+ placements.
