\n\t\tABOUT US\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhere it all started, engineering recruitment<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCollapse<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\tWhere we are today<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tOur People <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tOur Values<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

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.<\/p>\n

Be happy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A happy culture, happy clients, happy contractors, happy Peopleconnexion. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Be hungry.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Be humble.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t

Peopleconnexion: Proud Platinum Sponsor of the RISE Program – Empowering the Next Generation in PNG<\/h2>\n

We are beyond excited to share Peopleconnexion’s involvement as a sponsor of this incredible initiative called RISE.<\/p>\n

The generosity of the PNG companies who have come on board has been nothing short of extraordinary, and the journey so far has been truly inspiring. Together, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future for young women in Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n

The impact we aim to create for the next generation of employees in PNG is deeply motivating. Through RISE, we are opening pathways for Toks School Girls as they step into academic studies and explore work experience opportunities in 2026. Connecting these young women with leading organisations, dedicated mentors, and invaluable learning opportunities will empower them to dream big, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to thrive.<\/p>\n

Being part of this program is about more than just corporate social responsibility-it’s about giving back to the people of PNG, nurturing future leaders, and creating lasting change that ripples through families, communities, and the country. To stand alongside so many generous sponsors who share this vision fills us with immense pride and gratitude.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\nAt Peopleconnexion, we believe that investing in the potential of PNG’s youth is one of the most meaningful ways we can contribute to the nation’s growth and prosperity. Seeing the enthusiasm of the girls, the commitment from our partners, and the support from volunteers and mentors has been nothing short of heartwarming.
\nTo everyone involved-thank you. Especially to our directors Michelle Da Silva Pillay<\/a> Kasey Smith<\/a> Gima Tavaperry<\/a> Kristine Berry<\/a> Your generosity, time, and dedication are transforming lives and paving the way for a generation of empowered, confident young women ready to make their mark on the world.\n

Let’s keep rising together.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOur Commitment to Building Pathways in the Community\n\t<\/h2>\n

\n\t\tOur 2023-2024 IMPACT to date: \n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t50,000\n\t\t\t\t\tliteracy pathways (Books donated for Buk Bilong Pikinini) \n\t\t5,000\n\t\t\t\t\tEducation pathways (through career coaching and upskilling) \n\t

Our Impact statement: Together, we create pathways for those who are hungry for knowledge and fulfillment.<\/h4>\n

Giving back is one of our annual drivers throughout the Peopleconnexion entities: Peopleconnexion Recruitment Australia, Peopleconnexion PNG and Peopleconnexion Training.<\/p>\n

We build pathways to level the playing field, so everyone can unleash their inner greatness<\/strong> – 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.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tWhat we’ve been grateful to have achieved in the community to date:\n\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Empowering minds through literacy – Buk Bilong Pikinini 2023 <\/h2>

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.<\/p>\n

Celebrating Impact: Volunteering Day with Foyer Foundation and Gold Coast Youth Service<\/h2>

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.<\/p>\n

Read about our 2023 Volunteering career coaching day along with some of the great feedback shared by participants, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

2023: Career Coaching with PNG’s students<\/h2>

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. \u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You can read more about our session here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

20,000 books – 20,000 children’s pathways opened <\/h2>

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Creating pathways for career success in the community<\/h2>

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.<\/p>\n\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Empowering the future workforce of PNG to be employment ready!<\/h2>

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\"\"\t\t\t\n
