Our job is to make your job easier
We connect people who are looking for work with companies that are hiring for full-time management and administrative positions. But it’s not just about making connections, it’s about making the right connections.
You will notice the difference right from the start. We ask a lot of questions and spend time getting to know you so we can find out what you need. Then the recruiting begins.
Our customers range from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses, in almost every industry, as well as state/local government, colleges and universities, and nonprofits.
As a certified woman-owned business founded in 1987 we’ve earned a reputation for attracting and placing the best candidates for our client companies.
We could talk about the number of jobs filled and the number of people placed, but you’re not a number. Whether you are seeking a job or filling a position, we’re a partner who can help you succeed.
We’ve received awards that highlight our capabilities, but our real reward is your satisfaction.

Our Team
Janet Santa Anna, CSP
President/CEO
The Resource Connection (TRC) Co-Founder Janet Santa Anna sees her role as much more than matching individuals with jobs. It’s about saving time and money for clients and it’s about helping people find jobs where they can excel. This view fuels her commitment to delivering services that both employers and employees will rave about.
This commitment extends to her own staff. She seeks to make them successful with updated tools and ongoing support. She works side by side with her team to be easily accessible to staff and clients. “Respect, include and motivate all your employees, and they will do the same for you.”
Janet started in the staffing business during college as a temporary employee at a major national staffing agency. She discovered an affinity for matching individuals with jobs and moved to a full-time position. Over nine years there, she worked her way up to area manager with six offices. She launched The Resource Connection to serve the North Shore and beyond. The company now provides staffing connections throughout Massachusetts and into southern New Hampshire. Her passion for excellence and personalized, “can-do” approach have fueled TRC’s growth and success. Meanwhile, she earned a Master’s Degree in Management with a Specialized Certificate in Organizational Development from Cambridge College School of Management. She is recognized as a Certified Staffing Professional by the American Staffing Association.
Janet is active in the community performing non-profit volunteer work and fundraising. In addition, she plays a leadership role with a number of trade and industry associations, including being an active member of the American Staffing Association and the Massachusetts Staffing Association where she is on the Board of Directors.
“It feels good to know that we have helped thousands of individuals get jobs. It is also rewarding to help businesses by providing the staff they need to meet their goals.”
Peter A. Konrad, SHRM-SCP
Director of Operations
Peter Konrad, operations director, recognizes that the business of staffing is first and foremost about people. It’s about meeting their needs and helping them to be successful. This means making sure both those who are doing hiring and those who are hired are well served.
Peter has extensive experience in Human Resources as a Director level executive at a multi-billion dollar print and online media company where he led the Employee/Labor Relations function and managed highly effective Staffing teams which recruited and hired hundreds of employees at various levels annually. He is recognized as a Senior Certified Professional in HR by the Society for Human Resources Management.
In addition to HR, Peter’s background in financial management, marketing, and strategic planning has equipped him to manage the various daily issues of a busy staffing company. He is a problem solver by nature with a rare combination of being both analytical and people oriented. His approach is to first develop an understanding of a company’s general needs and priorities and then identify the challenges and develop solutions.
Peter has taught business and finance courses at the graduate and under-graduate level as an adjunct faculty member at several area colleges. He has long been active in the community and was a founding board member and President of Strongest Link AIDS Services, Inc. and served as a board member of AIDS Action Committee of MA. He is currently Board President of the North Shore Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth (NAGLY).
Peter earned a Master of Business Administration from The Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa, from St. Lawrence University.
“I value being a part of a dedicated team of people who I respect and enjoy working with. My role is to identify and implement the business tools, plans and processes that will help them excel.”
