As Director of Opportunities, she successfully delivers ground-breaking recruitment solutions for individuals and companies concerned about climate change, consumerism, species extinction and personal health. Her goal is to pair the right employee with the right company so they can make a transformational commitment and difference to the planet whilst delivering impactful business achievements.
Teresa has had a long and fruitful career in global recruitment. Her multi-citizenship and international experience afford her a unique global understanding of people, cultures, commercial and environmental challenges. She works with purpose-driven employers and values-driven employees in plant-based production, sustainability, environmental protection, human rights and animal protection industries. Teresa is inspiring a technological and social revolution that respects important personal and corporate values.
Teresa dedicates much of her time to improving the lives of people physically and virtually. As a result, Teresa seamlessly creates a positive environment during the recruitment process. She is dedicated to partnering the right people with honest and unprejudiced representation. Since her redundancy last year, she has blended her two passions; advocacy for protecting the earth and its inhabitants and recruitment. “Because who doesn’t want to be able to earn a living from something they believe in that also aligns with their values?”
Since the launch of Careers For Purpose earlier this month, Teresa has received a wealth of congratulations and support. Her clients have expressed relief that there is now a ‘kind’ recruitment consultancy for the hundreds of disenfranchised employees trapped in companies that don’t align with their values. Teresa believes that not only does a company need great talent with specific skillsets, but more importantly, passion and drive. Mission-driven businesses strive to employ like-minded, talented individuals to enhance their workforce.
Interestingly, employers feel comfortable that candidates sourced through Careers For Purpose are already motivated to find a mission-aligned role. Conversely, this sets apart and eliminates hundreds of applicants from truly passionate applicants.
As a philanthropist, Teresa is very aware that the plant-based movement is gaining momentum. She has been a long-time advocate for protecting the earth, its inhabitants and the lives of animals. She consciously chooses sustainable shopping and supports various not-for-profit organisations. A comprehensive report by Deloitte Access Economics stated that in the 2020 fiscal year, the number of plant-based food brands in Australia almost doubled from 10 to 19, jobs increased by over 100 per cent and manufacturing revenue increased to nearly $70 million. The Clean Energy Council also reported that renewable energy is responsible for almost a third of Australia’s electricity generation. There are significant steps to increase this year on year.

These positive steps to change leads company’s to seek a talented workforce with passion. The mission-driven founders of each business seek like-minded, talented individuals to join them to continue their success. Careers For Purpose is the international conduit that employers and job seekers use to streamline the hiring process. Employers can also take comfort that they are supporting a service from a provider that is aligned with their mission.

A Sobering Reality Check Australia’s emissions reduction report card is in, and it makes for uneasy reading. Strip away land use changes, and national emissions have dropped just 3% since 2005. While federal targets remain focused on achieving net-zero by 2050, progress is painfully slow across energy, transport, and industrial sectors. Politicians may debate policy, and analysts may point to infrastructure bottlenecks, but there’s a more human variable we urgently need to talk about: talent. Could the decarbonisation lag be less about ambition and more about our inability to scale the workforce to match?
Welcome to the Automation Dilemma AI has officially moved from speculative buzzword to standard tool in the hiring process. From screening CVs to scheduling interviews and even conducting first-round assessments, AI promises efficiency, objectivity, and speed. But as recent headlines show, the automation of recruitment may come at a cost we’re only beginning to understand. In the past fortnight alone, Workday was ordered to face legal action in the US over allegations that its AI-led hiring discriminated against applicants. And in Australia, deepfake job applicants have infiltrated the remote workforce, raising red flags about identity verification. So the question isn’t can AI replace recruiters. It’s should it?
A Scientific Milestone, A Talent Wake-Up Call When Sydney-based alt-protein startup Vow secured regulatory approval for its cultured quail product from FSANZ (Food Standards Australia New Zealand), headlines rightly celebrated the scientific milestone. But behind the slick bioreactors and media buzz lies a less discussed, yet equally vital question: who will build, scale, and commercialise this new frontier of food production? For purpose-led businesses working at the cutting edge of sustainability, this approval is more than a win for cellular agriculture. It’s a signal that Australia’s alt-protein sector is maturing - and the race for specialised talent is on.
