Company Description

NextPlay is a founder-led recruitment partner that helps high-growth technology companies build exceptional teams while reimagining how hiring is done. Operated by former founders and operators with deep experience scaling and exiting startups, the firm blends executive search rigor, permanent recruitment delivery, and project-based team builds with proprietary AI-driven tools to give clients an unfair advantage in the talent market. Headquartered in Peregian Beach, QLD and active from the AI Lab at the Peregian Digital Hub, NextPlay specializes in hard-to-hire functions across AI and ML engineering, data science and analytics, software product management, UX/UI, go-to-market, finance and leadership roles. Their operator-informed process starts with company analysis and role definition to align outcomes, success metrics, and assessment criteria, then elevates employer positioning through compelling candidate-facing assets, followed by targeted discovery and outreach that surfaces passive, high-potential talent beyond job boards. A white-glove candidate experience and structured onboarding support help clients win top performers and ensure seamless integration and retention. For larger mandates, NextPlay delivers end-to-end projects such as startup team formation and engineering scale-ups, and offers a free 60–90 minute Hiring Blueprint that provides a concrete playbook within 24 hours. The team augments search with proprietary intelligence that enriches profiles at scale, monitors hiring signals indicating candidate readiness, and provides competitor insights on organizational structures and market moves. Testimonials from venture-backed founders and technology leaders at companies such as BeyondOS, Expert360, Cova.ai and OVUM highlight NextPlay’s high-touch communication, strategic guidance, and rare combination of recruitment depth and product-building acumen. Whether the need is a single difference-making hire or an orchestrated build-out across functions, NextPlay aligns values, stage, and ambition to deliver lasting impact for startups and scaleups across the technology ecosystem.

BerConn Global Pty Ltd

BerConn Global Pty Ltd is a privately owned boutique legal search agency based in Sydney, Australia, specialising in private practice recruitment across domestic and international markets. Founded in July 2015 by Co-founders and Managing Directors Jenny Bermheden and Karlie Connellan, the firm draws on more than 40 years of combined recruitment experience gained within international agencies and specialist boutique search firms. BerConn Global partners exclusively with law firms and high-calibre lawyers, offering a tailored, bespoke service grounded in integrity, discretion and deep market insight. With no jurisdictional boundaries and no alignment to any single firm, the team has established strong relationships with leading practices globally and is prepared to build new connections where a search requires it. For candidates, BerConn Global provides an honest assessment of fit, closely tailors resumes to target markets and jurisdictions, controls when and where applications are submitted through explicit written consent, delivers detailed interview coaching, and offers ongoing support post-placement, including during relocations across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and the United States. For law firms, the consultancy operates through a highly targeted process, presenting only closely matched profiles, supplying anonymous profiles on request, assisting with salary negotiations and references, and adhering to each firm’s recruitment protocols across their global networks. The firm intentionally limits the number of lawyers it represents to ensure quality of service, maintains a high referral rate, and travels regularly across major cities in Australia and New Zealand to meet talent in person. For unique or hard-to-fill mandates and senior appointments, BerConn Global recommends retained search assignments with a bespoke method and timeline. Their track record includes successful cross-border moves into elite international firms across banking and finance, corporate, disputes, projects, real estate and other practice areas, delivered with responsiveness, professionalism and a personalised touch.

People Intelligence Recruitment Pty Ltd

People Intelligence Recruitment Pty Ltd was a boutique Australian recruitment consultancy known for its relationship-led approach and hands-on market expertise. Co-founded by Lindsey Morgan and Catherine Moores, the firm drew on more than 40 years of cumulative recruitment experience gained in Sydney, London, and other international markets, bringing a pragmatic, service-focused ethos to matching white-collar and leadership talent with organizations of varying sizes. Operating as a small, agile team, People Intelligence Recruitment emphasized transparency, diligence, and long-term fit, building trust with clients, candidates, suppliers, and recruitment partners through clear communication and attentive delivery. The company has now closed following the founders’ personal transitions, with Lindsey moving toward retirement and Catherine beginning a new career in Allied Health; this decision reflects a respectful, planned wind-down rather than a change in ownership. In announcing the closure, the firm expressed sincere gratitude to its stakeholders for making the journey meaningful and successful and provided a single point of contact for any residual inquiries. The legacy of People Intelligence Recruitment is that of a generalist, cross-industry capability typical of boutique agencies in Australia, shaped by international networks and local insight across Sydney and the broader Australian market. Its digital presence now serves primarily as a notice of closure and a conduit for communication where needed, honoring prior relationships and ensuring continuity for anyone seeking follow-up. Although operations have ceased, the firm’s track record underscores a commitment to high-touch recruitment, careful candidate assessment, and collaborative client partnerships forged over years of practice in the staffing and recruiting field.
