Here is how:

• Save your team precious time
• Reduce the risk of costly bad hires
• Access hidden talent pools you wouldn’t find otherwise
• Lower overall recruitment costs than DIY hiring
• Benefit from ongoing support, market insights, and guidance

Let’s break it down:

1. Time is Money. Agencies Can Save Both

Recruitment takes time, often more than you realise. Writing job ads, screening CVs, scheduling interviews, following up… the hours add up fast.

Stellar Recruitment handles all of this for you. We source candidates, screen resumes, conduct preliminary interviews, and deliver a shortlist of top talent. Faster hires mean less downtime and more productivity - saving both time and money.

2. Reduce Risk of Costly Bad Hires

Hiring the wrong person is expensive. According to several websites in New Zealand, a bad hire can cost up to 30% of their annual salary, encompassing recruitment, training, and lost productivity.

A professional recruiter at Stellar Recruitment mitigates this risk. We vet candidates thoroughly, checking skills, experience, references and cultural fit. The result? A higher likelihood of hiring someone who sticks, reducing turnover costs and saving your business from unnecessary headaches.

3. Access Hidden Talent Pools

Some of the best candidates are not even actively looking, they are already employed and excelling in their roles. These “passive candidates” can be difficult to reach, but they often represent the top-tier talent your business needs.

Stellar Recruitment specialises in connecting with these candidates. Through our extensive networks, industry contacts, and targeted outreach, we bring you exceptional talent that would not apply to a standard job ad. Accessing this hidden pool means better hires without wasting endless hours searching.

4. Lower Overall Recruitment Costs

Hiring internally may seem free, but hidden costs mount quickly:

• Advertising expenses: job boards, social media posts, and recruitment platforms
• Internal resources: staff time spent recruiting is time away from core business tasks
• Turnover costs: replacing a bad hire is expensive
• Vacancy impact: lost productivity and stalled projects

Stellar Recruitment streamlines the process, fills positions faster, and reduces the risk of mis-hires - making the investment more cost-effective than trying to do it all yourself.

5. Ongoing Support and Market Insights

Stellar does more than just fill vacancies. We provide market intelligence, salary benchmarks, and insights into candidate expectations.

This helps your business stay competitive. For example, in industries with talent shortages, Stellar can guide you on salaries, benefits, and retention strategies. We also provide feedback from candidates, helping you improve your hiring process and strengthen your employer brand.

Bonus: Less Stress, More Confidence

Hiring can be stressful, especially when the stakes are high. Stellar Recruitment brings expertise and guidance, giving you confidence throughout the process. Less stress means your team can focus on growing the business, knowing recruitment is in capable hands.

The Takeaway

Hiring the right people is one of the most important investments your business can make. Partnering with Stellar saves time, reduces risk, opens doors to top talent, and provides ongoing market insights.

Next time you’re looking to hire, think beyond the fee. Consider the long-term savings, better-quality hires, and peace of mind Stellar Recruitment can bring – it might just be one of the smartest business decisions your company makes this year.
