It all started with a simple idea: make HR more human.

Founded in 2015 by CEO and Director TJ Mauheni-Zacharias, Konnect Koncepts has grown from a one-person consultancy into a trusted outsourced partner across New Zealand & Australia.

  • We’ve scaled

  • We’ve expanded

But we’ve stayed grounded in what matters:

  • People first

  • Straightforward advice

  • Tailored support

That’s how we work. Every day.

OUR APPROACH

How we work

Tailored, not templated.

No two businesses are the same, and neither is our support.

We work alongside owners and leaders to provide practical, hands-on support that fits how your business actually operates.

Whether it’s HR, recruitment, or payroll, our focus is always on what works in the real world.

We partner with Jobs for Mums to help create flexible work opportunities for parents, and we regularly contribute to organisations close to our hearts – the SPCA, Save the Kiwi and IHC. It’s our way of giving back and making a positive difference beyond the workplace.
