Become a Connector!

At Peopleconnexion, we're about empowering you to continuously shine in your greatness. We work with purpose so we can each grow to our fullest potential and continuously celebrate together.

There are jobs - then there are careers. We embrace and celebrate colourful individuals and creative thinking. At the heart of what we do is creating a space for everyone to have the freedom to shine brightly. We're about meaningful relationships and people-first solutions.

We like to do things differently. One-size-fits-all solutions and transactional relationships are not part of our philosophy. We're humble in our nature and genuine in our business, and give you the can-do confidence to build your legacy with us.

ABOUT US

At Peopleconnexion, we’re more than a specialist recruitment partner. We’re career coaches. Brand ambassadors. Talent spotters. Team builders. Industry experts. And change agents. People are our business. They make all the difference – in our business and yours. That’s why we’re passionate about serving both employers and candidates to forge winning teams.

Where it all started, engineering recruitment

Peopleconnexion began in 2007 when our Director Kristine Berry set out with a mobile phone, a contact list and a vision - to inspire greatness for her candidates and clients. We started life as an engineering recruitment agency in Brisbane, Australia. But our world is now much bigger.

Where we are today

We operate throughout the APAC region with our Brisbane office specialising in Australian engineering recruitment and our Gold Coast and Port Moresby office specialising in expatriate and local recruitment across all industries in Papua New Guinea.

We have a track record of positively impacting the businesses we work with and have touched the careers of over 5,000 candidates in this time.

Our People

We boast an incredibly cross-cultural team of Connectors, who all hold the passion and stamina to operate in the ever-changing world of recruitment.

We pride ourselves on being colourfully individual, each bringing our own colours to the palette. While we operate in three different offices, we are continually connected and operate in highly-collaborative teams who support each other.

We never miss the chance to stop and have fun in our day, share a lunch or morning tea and celebrate our wins together - no matter how small.

Our Values

At the heart of Peopleconnexion is personal service. We offer a different kind of recruitment experience than you’ll find elsewhere: one that’s human, personal and professional. It’s all down to the values and the way we operate.

Be happy.

We are all unique, colourful individuals that bring their own special light to the table. We embrace and celebrate this diversity, encouraging and supporting professional and personal growth and wellbeing to reach our fullest potential. We create a safe space so that everyone has the freedom to shine brightly and be their own brand of happiness.

A happy culture, happy clients, happy contractors, happy Peopleconnexion.

Be hungry.

We are hungry for excellence, growth and accountability. Our ‘can-do confidence’ drives us courageously forward, stretching us to adapt to change, so we can help others be better tomorrow. We possess the curiosity, stamina and bravery to evolve so we are continually achieving our goals and setting bold new ones.

Be humble.

We are our best selves when we’re grounded with humility and gratitude. We care deeply about the people we work with and for, and always endeavour to cast a light all around us, so others can grow. We believe that being genuine and honest in all we do, fosters the trust required to give and receive our true value.

We don't use KPIs to micromanage performance. We set big goals, but do so collaboratively, creatively and with the tools to drive your hunger for success. We always want to stretch ourselves to be better than we were yesterday, and that's why each quarter, one of our awards is for the Connector most improved. Our Quarterly awards come in addition to bonus structures for recognition of your individual achievements.

Our Commitment to Building Pathways in the Community

Our 2023-2024 IMPACT to date:

literacy pathways (Books donated for Buk Bilong Pikinini)

Education pathways (through career coaching and upskilling)

Our Impact statement: Together, we create pathways for those who are hungry for knowledge and fulfillment.

Giving back is one of our annual drivers throughout the Peopleconnexion entities: Peopleconnexion Recruitment Australia, Peopleconnexion PNG and Peopleconnexion Training.

We build pathways to level the playing field, so everyone can unleash their inner greatness - through literacy, education, mentoring and training. We know that the gift of reading releases a pathway for greatness, so we endeavour to open the world of literacy to children through books; career knowledge to young adults; and mentoring for upcoming professionals.

What we've been grateful to have achieved in the community to date:

Empowering minds through literacy - Buk Bilong Pikinini 2023

Since 2018, Peopleconnexion have been grateful to continue our active involvement in supporting BbP's mission by spearheading book donation drives in Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Our annual initiative involves collecting books to be shipped to Port Moresby, contributing to the establishment and maintenance of libraries across the region. This collaborative effort aims to provide children in PNG with access to educational resources, unlocking doors to knowledge, empowering minds, and shaping brighter futures.

Celebrating Impact: Volunteering Day with Foyer Foundation and Gold Coast Youth Service

We are thrilled to share the success of our recent volunteering day – the second year in a row – with the Foyer Foundation and Gold Coast Youth Service. This annual initiative is one our entire team looks forward to and is a connection to our dedication as a company, to creating tangible career pathways for those hungry for knowledge and fulfillment.

Read about our 2023 Volunteering career coaching day along with some of the great feedback shared by participants, here.

2023: Career Coaching with PNG's students

On 3 August 2023, our PNG team facilitated a Career Coaching workshop in partnership with International Training Institute (ITI), Badili Campus in Port Moresby, PNG.

In the role of career coaches and brand ambassadors, our team orchestrated a dynamic 2-hour session with the mission to empower and guide these young adults and emerging professionals on their journey towards discovering fulfilling careers.

You can read more about our session here.

20,000 books - 20,000 children's pathways opened

Each year, we are proud to partner with Buk Bilong Pikinini (BbP) in Papua New Guinea (PNG), who book-by-book, is building the literacy of PNG children.

Did you know that books are not available to purchase in PNG? We know that opening a book, opens a child to a world of knowledge, which opens doors to pathways for them to be great. So, that's why, since 2019, we have collected, shipped and donated over 20,000 books into libraries being built by BbP. That's over 20,000 children's lives, with the help of our generous communities, we have been able to change through literacy.

Creating pathways for career success in the community

In 2022, our Brisbane and Gold Coast offices came together for our annual volunteering day, partnering with a local organisation on the Gold Coast who provide shelter and support for youths. We each paired with a young adult and had the privilege to guide them through the skills and tools to empower them in their career-finding pathway. CV writing, interview skills and common questions, how to dress for success and online branding - all things we were humbled to be able to share. We are grateful that our community enables us to pay our knowledge and expertise like this forward.

Empowering the future workforce of PNG to be employment ready!

In 2022, our PNG team were privileged to be given the opportunity to present to Year 11 students - and future generation of professionals - from the Port Moresby International School.

Together, we provided students with the advice and tools to set up their CV’s, develop their LinkedIn/online branding, write cover letters and other job ready/employment ready skills. It was a humbling experience for our team to be able to share our expertise with others and make an impression on the youth within the PNG community.
