About Us

Australian owned and operated

Dedicated to our industry

Connect People was formed in 2010 by 20-year infrastructure veteran Tony Cotruzzola, bringing his extraordinary experience to one of the industry’s most critical challenges: recruitment.

When other teams are stuck waiting in the talent queue, competing for the best talent, we’re helping Australian infrastructure projects keep moving. In over 15 years of doing business, we’ve built a crew of exceptional recruiters across NSW, QLD, VIC and SA, dedicated to our core values of quality, safety and driving results. That’s why our Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners trust Connect People to deliver the right talent at the right time, no matter the scale or urgency.

We have the track record. We have the expertise. We have the network. With Connect People, projects succeed.

We are committed to providing a safe, compliant and equal workforce, ensuring every Connect People placement meets the highest industry standards. By prioritising safety and quality, we protect our people, support our clients and contribute to the successful delivery of great projects.

Safety Culture

We utilise the market-leading SafetyCulture platform to drive a proactive approach to safety across all sites. Through real-time visibility and digital communication, we can identify risk early, act quickly and continuously improve our safety practices

Paperless onboarding

Our fully integrated onboarding platform allows candidates to complete every stage of their induction online. By removing manual paperwork, we streamline the process for both clients and employees, reducing errors and ensuring faster mobilisation.

Our technology

We leverage advanced recruitment and payroll technology to enhance our processes - enabling us to deliver faster, more accurate workforce support.

More importantly, by streamlining the administrative load, each of our expert infrastructure recruitment consultants gains more time each day to spend where it matters most: working hands-on with your team to build stronger, more strategic partnerships.

Access Vincere Evo

Vincere is an award-winning recruitment software package that supercharges our candidate intelligence, streamlines labour hire scheduling and helps us massively speed up the recruitment pipeline for our clients.

Fasttrack Payroll

Payroll is too important to leave to legacy systems, which is why we rely on FastTrack 360 - the benchmark in payroll tech. This improves not only our accuracy, but our speed. Happy payroll, happy people.
