International Women's Day 2022 - Break the Bias

International Women's Day 2022 - Break the Bias

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we will be running a Special Event highlighting four of our very own female leaders – Kim Padmore, Lisa Johnson, Elizabeth Punshon, and Peta Seaman.

Hosted by Peta Seaman, we will explore the unique journeys of these truly amazing women and the challenges they have faced.

Peta Seaman is the South Australia Directing Manager for people2people, leading our Adelaide office since 2019. However, Peta wasn’t always in recruitment. Before joining people2people, Peta started out as a hairdresser, progressing into an educator role supporting industry professionals across South Australia.

After taking a career break from hairdressing, Peta travelled around the US for a while before returning back home. However, once returning she realised that her old profession wasn’t the right fit for her anymore. This inspired Peta to take the leap into recruitment where she specialised in Supply Chain Management, rising up through the ranks in internal and agency positions.

After working in several recruitment companies early on in her career, the shift from liking to loving what she did happened after she came on board with people2people. Initially joining the Parramatta office, Peta was driven by the focus on learning and development and the growth opportunities throughout the company across Australia.
