About Anjuna People

Specialist by choice. Personal by nature.

One person, fourteen years in recruitment, and ten of them spent placing civil and structural engineers across Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

ROOTED IN MUSIC / BUILT ON RELATIONSHIPS

A recruitment business built to feel different because it works differently.

Anjuna People was created after years of seeing good engineers treated like CVs and good consultancies treated like invoices. The answer was not a louder agency. It was a more focused one.

We recruit only across civil and structural engineering in Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Fourteen years in recruitment, the last ten of them here. That focus is what lets us understand the work, the market, and the difference between a move that looks acceptable on paper and one that makes sense in real life.

How we work

We can actually talk to you about your field instead of guessing.

We judge ourselves on relationships that last, not placements that look tidy on a spreadsheet.

Straight talk, genuine advocacy, and someone who’s still there long after the deal’s done.

What we stand for

Four things that do not change, whoever is on the other end of the phone.

  • Know the field

    Specialism is only useful when it improves the advice. We stay close to the disciplines, projects, businesses and career paths we recruit across.

  • Tell the truth early

    If a salary is unrealistic, a brief is unclear or a role is unlikely to suit, we say so. Honest information saves everyone time and protects trust.

  • Make the introduction count

    We do not send a CV because a keyword matched. We explain the person, the opportunity and why the conversation is worth having.

  • Stay involved

    Good recruitment does not finish when an interview is booked. We keep communication clear through the process and stay available after the start date.

Our story

I never dreamt of being a recruiter. Nobody does, if we’re honest.

Read the full story

There’s an old line in this game that you don’t choose recruitment, you fall into it, and I fell in because a mate in the industry reckoned I’d be good at it. He wasn’t wrong. Cheers, pal.

That friendship runs right through the business, name included. We grew up on Anjunadeep and Anjunabeats, and that shared love of the music is what made us friends in the first place. So when this chapter needed a name, Anjuna was the only one that fit. A reminder, every day, that the whole thing is built on relationships that started with nothing in it for anyone.

Where we work

Two disciplines. One region. No exceptions.

We work one patch properly rather than three badly. Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Northern New South Wales - close enough to know the consultancies, the projects and who is actually any good.

  • Sunshine Coast
  • Brisbane
  • Gold Coast
  • Northern NSW

The only two disciplines we cover

Civil
Land development, roads, water, drainage and the infrastructure underneath everything else.
Structural
Buildings, bridges, industrial and the engineering that keeps them standing.

More than half of our placements are for clients who have hired through us before.

Founder

The person behind the business

One point of contact. Personal accountability.

Dan leads every candidate and client relationship personally, from the first conversation through to the introduction and beyond. A small support team helps with research and delivery, but the person you brief is the person responsible for the outcome.

The best way to understand how we work is to have a conversation.

Tell us what you are trying to solve. We will ask useful questions and tell you honestly whether we can help.
