Celebrating 18 Years of Stellar: Inspiring Growth, Changing Lives. 

Eighteen years ago, Robbie McIlraith and Shaun McCambridge founded Stellar Recruitment with a simple but powerful “Why” – Inspiring Growth. Changing Lives. 

 

As we look back on nearly two decades of hard work, passion, and purpose, it is clear that this vision has been realised in ways beyond what anyone could have imagined. 

 

But this journey has not been walked alone. Stellar's success reflects the collective effort of so many. To our clients who entrusted us with their people needs and the candidates who trusted us to connect them with their dream roles – thank you for choosing us. 

 

Together, we have achieved incredible milestones that make us proud every day: 

 

  • 16,926 clients served – helping organizations thrive by connecting them with exceptional talent. 
  • 31,413 candidates placed – empowering individuals to achieve their career aspirations. 
  • 9+ industries served – delivering tailored recruitment solutions across a diverse range of sectors. 
  • $500,000+ raised for charities and community initiatives – supporting causes close to our hearts and giving back to the communities that support us. 
  • New services introduced – from Executive Search to Maintenance Services and Immigration Services, we have continued to innovate to meet the evolving needs of our clients and candidates. 

 

These achievements are more than numbers; they represent lives changed, careers built, and communities strengthened. 

 

Here’s to the journey so far, and here’s to continuing to inspire growth and change lives for many years to come.
