Teresa Romanovsky is the pioneering silver lining of Careers For Purpose, Asia Pacific’s first ethical recruitment consultancy.

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.

Following Neurodiversity Celebration Week, which took place from 18th to 24th March, it's important to address and dispel prevailing misconceptions surrounding integrating neurodivergent individuals in the workplace. Despite the growing evidence supporting the advantages of cognitively diverse teams—such as increased productivity, enhanced decision-making, and heightened innovation—many organisations remain apprehensive about embracing neurodivergent talent. This reluctance not only sidelines a significant portion of the global talent pool, estimated at 15-20 per cent but also hampers organisational growth and innovation.
In the increasingly complex environment of a modern business, hiring and retaining talent is more than a routine HR function—it's a critical strategic operation with far-reaching implications for organisational success and sustainability. The direct and indirect costs associated with employee turnover expose a varied picture, revealing a financial burden and a multifaceted challenge impacting productivity, morale, and corporate reputation.
In today's economy, the paramount importance of human elements—such as creativity, empathy, and innovation—marks a significant shift from past industrial and knowledge economies. This evolution highlights the critical role of human traits in driving organisational value across various dimensions, including revenue, innovation, efficiency, and brand relevance. However, the efforts of organisations to prioritise these crucial human connections often fall short, primarily due to a legacy mindset focused on extracting value from individuals rather than collaborating with them to forge a better future for both parties.
