Hein Kalmeier

Hein is Fido’s Talent & Capability Manager, responsible for finding great people, building strong teams and helping make Fido an even better place to work. With an extensive background in talent acquisition and internal recruitment, he’s passionate about looking beyond the CV to find people with the attitude, drive and personality to thrive at Fido.

Originally from South Africa, Hein made his way to Brisbane via New Zealand and now happily calls Queensland home. Outside of work, he’s a husband, a dad of two boys and a sports photographer who loves getting behind the camera. He’s also a big rugby fan — particularly when the Springboks are winning. Hein enjoys getting outdoors, whether that’s camping, exploring somewhere new or convincing himself he needs another piece of photography gear.

At work, Hein believes recruitment should be simple, human and honest. He enjoys building things from the ground up, challenging the way things have always been done and creating an experience where great people genuinely want to join the business... and stay.
