Shepherd Recruitment

Shepherd Recruitment is a specialist recruitment agency founded to create a more personal, expert approach to hiring within the property sector. Based in Brisbane and Victoria, the company works exclusively with real estate agencies and short-stay operators, understanding that recruitment success requires industry expertise and a results-driven model. Founded by Aiden and Tara Flynn, Shepherd Recruitment operates on a contingent fee basis with a three-month replacement guarantee, ensuring every placement is assessed for measurable impact on growth today and sustained performance tomorrow.

The agency specialises in two core sectors: real estate agencies and short-stay and holiday letting operators. Within real estate, Shepherd Recruitment recruits sales agents, property managers, business development managers, sales associates, department heads, and administration and support staff who drive listings, grow rent rolls, and maintain landlord relationships. For short-stay and holiday letting, the company focuses on portfolio managers, business development managers, reservations and revenue specialists, guest experience professionals, housekeeping and operations staff, and area managers who manage occupancy, owner retention, and service delivery at scale.

Clients choose Shepherd Recruitment because the agency combines industry knowledge with a founder-led approach that prioritises quality over volume. Every search is conducted through direct outreach to proven operators in comparable agencies, with performance-referenced candidates presented in shortlists within days rather than weeks. The company operates exclusively in Brisbane and Victoria, deliberately selective in the searches it undertakes, ensuring that every placement reflects genuine value and long-term fit rather than transactional hiring.
