Klueya
A talent consultancy built of family and trust, guided by empathy, values and a goal to bring better to everything we touch.
Klueya Talent
Klueya Consulting is a boutique talent consultancy born from the belief that recruitment can and should be done better.
Hiring has become increasingly complex, competitive, and disconnected. For employers, attracting and securing the right people has never been harder, job ads fall flat, standout candidates are already in roles, and hiring often feels rushed or transactional. For candidates, the job search can feel impersonal, uncertain, and unclear.
We believe hiring should be every organisation’s top priority because when you get the right people, everything else follows.
At Klueya, recruitment isn’t a transaction, it’s a relationship.
Built on trust, honesty, and genuine connection, we partner with you to find the people you can’t reach on your own.
We bridge the gap between people and business by combining deep personal relationships with the smart use of AI and automation.
This frees us to spend more time where it counts, understanding your needs, championing the right people, and building teams and careers that last.
We value authenticity over polish, human first, always.
No fluff, no sales scripts, just real partnership with businesses who care about how things are done, not just that they get done.
Our success isn’t measured in volume but in impact, testimonials, referrals, and relationships that endure long after the hire.
Recruitment can be done better and we’re here to lead that shift.
Employers
At Klueya Consulting, recruitment isn’t just a transaction, it’s a strategic, insight led partnership built on trust, clarity, and connection.
We work with small to medium sized organisations across Southeast Queensland to attract, engage, and secure top talent across HR, Executive, and Corporate Services roles.
Through my personal brand and 31,000+ LinkedIn followers, we tap into a unique pool of high quality, often passive candidates that most agencies can’t reach.
Struggling to hire? You’re not alone.
Hiring the right people is one of the most important decisions any business makes. Every person you bring in shapes your culture, performance, and future and getting it right matters every time.
We act as your voice in market, representing your brand as if it were our own. From first conversation to final offer, we create an experience that reflects the best of who you are because candidate experience matters. It shapes your reputation, your reach, and your ability to attract the right people and we believe that should matter to every hiring manager.
We offer three flexible and strategic recruitment packages:
Our most comprehensive and strategic service. Designed for hard to fill, business critical, or high impact roles such as C-suite, niche HR specialties, remote locations, or highly specific briefs.
Includes full market mapping, in depth talent sourcing, live salary and demand insights, competitor analysis, and exclusive shortlisting. You’ll receive a detailed search plan, regular updates, and fully managed end to end support.
Ideal for: Confidential or complex briefs, senior appointments, and roles outside standard talent pools.
A dedicated and focused approach leveraging Klueya’s existing network, referral pipeline, and active market presence. With exclusive access, we move swiftly and strategically, ensuring strong alignment, consistent messaging, and full candidate management throughout the process.
Ideal for: Mid senior level HR and corporate roles where speed, quality, and trusted representation matter.
A flexible, no-strings-attached approach for general hiring needs. We activate our existing database and passive candidate network and work alongside other suppliers if required.
Ideal for: Generalist roles, fast-turnaround briefs, or when internal bandwidth is limited.
How it Works
Candidates
Genuine support. Trusted relationships. Real talk.
We believe job searching should feel human, not transactional. We work with professionals across HR, Talent, Executive, and Corporate Services roles, taking the time to understand your story, not just your CV.
We’ll keep it real. We’ll always be honest about where things stand, whether it's feedback, salary expectations, or market conditions, you'll never be left in the dark. We're here to guide and advise, not to sell you into a role that doesn't feel right.
We support you through every step. From interview preparation and insights on the hiring manager, to offer guidance and post placement check-ins, we’re here for the whole journey, not just the shortlist.
We're here because we believe your career matters.

The Klueya Brand Story
The name Klueya isn’t just a brand, it’s a reflection of what matters most. It’s a powerful fusion of the names of those closest to my heart:
Lu _ for Luna, my youngest daughter
Eya – for Freya, my eldest daughter
They are my why.
They’re the reason I show up with grit, with purpose, and with ambition especially on the hard days. Every time I say “Klueya,” I’m reminded of what I’m building, why I started, and who I’m doing it for.
After 14 years in recruitment, working with some of the most inspiring leaders, founders, and brands, I realised I was helping others build legacies while quietly yearning to build my own. I’d always worked with care, integrity, and ambition, but I wanted to channel that energy into something that was truly mine. A business with heart and a brand with longevity whilst continuing to challenge the industry to be better.
So, Klueya Consulting was born.
The vision? To create a consultancy that blends strategy with soul. One that doesn’t just fill roles, but transforms how organisations think about talent, hiring, and leadership.
One that partners deeply with clients to attract high impact people who don’t just fit culture but add to it and one that helps individuals take control of their career journeys with clarity, confidence, and dignity
.Growing up in what felt like a single parent household, I saw firsthand what it meant to work hard and believe harder. My mum showed me what quiet resilience looks like. That drive, the belief that anything is possible is woven into the DNA of this business. And now, I want to pass that on to my daughters, to other women, to every client, candidate, and connection who dares to think big.
At Klueya, we don’t just recruit, we partner, we advise, we challenge, and we care.
We’re not here to tick boxes, we’re here to change how hiring feels.
This is more than a brand.
It’s more than recruitment.
This is legacy work.
The Meaning Behind the Circle
At first glance, it might look broken.
But this circle open and imperfect, is exactly how it’s meant to be.
A fixed space.
A fixed mindset.
But Klueya was never built to stay still.This circle is open, on purpose.
To represent growth, evolution, and possibility.
Space to evolve our thinking.
Space to deepen relationships.
Space to expand our reach and reimagine what's possible.
Space for you to show up fully as a leader, a brand, or a job seeker.
It's a daily reminder that we’re never finished. There’s always more to learn, more to build, and more people to empower.
