About Us
HR, Recruitment & Payroll That Actually Connects
We’re Konnect Koncepts, your outsourced HR partner helping you stay compliant, recruit the right people, and build better workplaces.
Whether you need support for a tricky staff issue, a recruitment project, or someone to take payroll off your plate, we’re here to help, without the HR overhead.
It all started with a simple idea: make HR more human.
Founded in 2015 by CEO and Director TJ Mauheni-Zacharias, we’ve grown from a one-man consultancy into a full service outsourced HR, Recruitment, and Payroll provider supporting clients over Aotearoa and now in Australia.
Our Journey
OUR APPROACH
Tailored, not templated.
No two businesses are the same, so neither are our solutions.
We work closely with business owners, general managers, and leadership teams to provide hands-on, practical support that actually works, not just paperwork.
Whether we’re writing policies, handling complex HR issues, screening job applicants, or running payroll, our focus is always on people, process, and progress.
OUR VISION
Improving your business through cost-effective outsourced HR, Recruitment & Payroll services.
OUR VALUES
Client Focused
We build genuine relationships and listen first.
Tailored Solutions
Every solution is based on your goals and objectives.
Teamwork
We work with you, not just for you.
Integrity
We do what we say and say what we mean.
Real Results. Real People. Real Konnection.
We don’t just show up, we deliver measurable, meaningful outcomes. The numbers matter, but the people behind them matter more.
According To Our Clients, We’re Awesome
