Stellar is excited to share an update on Roma Tuimaunei and the incredible progress he has made over the past few months. Roma has recently returned from Europe, where he spent time in Romania training and competing alongside FIBA clubs and players. Being immersed in a fully professional environment, training at that level and seeing first-hand what it takes, has had a huge impact on both his game and his mindset. Since coming home, Roma has carried that momentum forward and earned selection into the Rams Development Programme, an achievement he is rightly proud of. It has been inspiring to watch his confidence, discipline, and growth continue to build. The next exciting step is an invitation to attend the Summer League in Las Vegas this July, an opportunity only a small number of young players receive. It is a massive chance for Roma to test himself, learn from the best, and continue developing on an international stage. At Stellar Recruitment, we love supporting young people who are willing to challenge themselves, and we are proud to be part of Roma’s journey as he works towards his goals. If you check out the photos, you will also see Roma signing a young child’s shirt. We love seeing him pass on the support and positive energy as well. Well done, Roma. Be sure to check out the link below to see him in action on the court. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14fQjC8kHMf/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Why local presence still matters in regional recruitment Regional hiring doesn’t fail because of a lack of candidates. It fails when recruitment is done from a distance. In places like the Hawke’s Bay, recruitment is built on relationships, local knowledge, and trust - not volume or velocity. That’s why our Napier office isn’t serviced remotely. We have three team members working in office, Bodie McNaught, Hattie MacLennan and Tyrone Harris, delivering recruitment solutions across permanent and workforce, white collar and blue collar roles. They are supported by regular, in person involvement from Auckland based Kymberly Tupai and Palmerston North based Siobhan Thorne Allen. Our team also actively works across the Central North Island to support clients and candidates where and when it matters most. Being on the ground with mobile across the region means: • Stronger role scoping before ads go live • Honest conversations with candidates about fit, not just availability • First hand understanding of local and regional workforce movement • Faster decision making and more accountable recruitment support Local insight doesn’t just improve time to hire, it improves retention, reputation, and long term outcomes. If you are hiring in Hawke’s Bay or across the Central North Island and want recruitment done with the region, not from outside it, give our team a call.

Managing hiring yourself might seem like a cost-effective option. But when you factor in time, risk, and lost productivity, the real cost can be much higher. The reality is: • Hiring takes your team away from core business priorities • A wrong hire can be expensive and disruptive • The best candidates are often not actively looking Working with a recruitment partner is not just about filling roles. It's about making better hiring decisions, faster, and with more confidence. If you're hiring, it's worth understanding the full picture before you start. 👉 Read the full article and explore more hiring insights on our website. https://bit.ly/4vjUDP4 #stellarrecruitment

At Stellar, it’s about creating an environment where people can continue to grow their careers while navigating life outside of work. Great to have you both back, bringing your experience, perspective, and energy to the team.

Last Friday, our Brisbane team got behind @tiacs_ Pedalling for a Purpose, with Jacob, Cade and Michael taking on the ride. For Jacob, it was even more meaningful riding alongside his father, Tim from @growth_wpd, making it a powerful day both personally and professionally. It was a great experience helping raise money for a worthy cause. We work closely with tradies, site teams and construction professionals every day. It’s an industry built on resilience, but too often mental health is left unspoken. That has to change. If you want to support better conversations and real access to support in our industry, we’d love you to get behind it and share to help drive real change where it’s needed most. #StellarRecruitment #lifeatstellar

We talk a lot about attracting talent with salaries, benefits, and flexible arrangements. But what happens after day one? That’s where company culture does the heavy lifting. Culture is what turns a job into a place people actually want to be. It’s the difference between someone doing the role… and someone genuinely investing in it. It shows up in the everyday in: • how leaders communicate • how teams support each other • how wins are celebrated (and how challenges are handled) The businesses getting it right aren’t just hiring well - they’re creating environments where people feel valued, trusted and motivated to stay. Because retention isn’t a perk. It’s a reflection of culture. That’s your real competitive advantage. What does great culture look like in your business? #stellarrecruitment #companyculture

At the Human Matters event hosted by WISTA this past Wednesday, Kymberly Tupai shared a simple but powerful tip during the panel discussion on how to use AI enhance your skills and not replace them. Her message was clear: use AI as a supporting tool to not a replacement - one that helps sharpen thinking, save time, and enhance human decision‑making rather than override it. A great reminder that when used thoughtfully, AI can amplify what really matters: people, context, and good judgement.

Faifili put it best when he said, “Rugby and the workforce might be different fields, but the game plan is the same: build strong relationships, work hard, add value, and leave the jersey better than you found it.”

It was a reminder of why we support programs that build pride, inclusion and passion from the ground up. Why this matters: • Grassroots sport connects kids to big dreams • It builds confidence, community, and culture • It shows that the pathway to greatness starts local Our support goes beyond sponsorship - it’s about showing up, getting involved, and backing the next generation with real opportunities.

Michael Cooke, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Mining Maintenance, and Amy Henry, Recruitment Consultant - Trades, recently visited key mining sites across Central Queensland, gaining insight into the current challenges and opportunities facing the sector. With coal prices still under pressure, we’re seeing a pullback in maintenance work and a shift toward smaller, fast-moving contractor models. Labour demand is lower in some areas, but opportunities remain in production and warehousing as planning ramps up for 2026. By being on site and in conversation with operational leaders, we’re staying close to what’s happening on the ground and where support is most needed.

We’re proud to recognise 26 Stellar team members who earned promotions over the past financial year. With 20 promotions in New Zealand and 6 in Australia, across both consulting and support roles, these achievements reflect dedication, consistency, and living our values day to day. Congratulations to everyone who’s taken this next step in their career. We’re excited to see the impact you’ll make in your new roles 🥳. #LifeAtStellar #Promotion #Growth

🚲 We are proud to support Shaun in Round 4 of the @tractionbuilds CEO Bike Build We’re excited to see our Managing Director, Shaun McCambridge, once again take part in the TRACTION For Young People CEO Bike Build on 6 September. This annual event is more than just assembling a BMX; it’s about building confidence, connection, and capability in young people facing real challenges. This year, Shaun will be guided by a graduate of TRACTION’s hands-on mentoring program, working together to build a bike in a powerful role reversal that shows just how impactful this early-intervention model can be. TRACTION works with 12-15-year-olds who are disengaged from school or life, providing practical learning, mentorship, and opportunities that spark positive change. The boost in confidence and outlook for these young people is nothing short of inspiring. Shaun’s goal is to raise $5,000 to help more kids access these life-changing programs. If you’re able to contribute, your support would be greatly appreciated. Let’s invest in potential. Let’s build a better future, one bike, one connection at a time. #TRACTIONBuilds #YouthEmpowerment #MentoringMatters #SocialImpact #StellarRecruitment #lifeatstellar

🏗️ Queensland’s Infrastructure Boom is here! Max Duffy, Principal Consultant, and Rob Gantly, Consultant, part of Stellar's Construction & Engineering team, attended the Games Independent Infrastructure and Coordination Authority (GIICA) Industry Briefing in Brisbane last week. Stellar’s Construction & Engineering team is already seeing the impacts of the $7B+ Brisbane 2032 build. But the biggest challenge? Talent. 🚨Queensland needs 83,300 construction workers by 2026 - yet only 42,200 are available. That’s a 41,100 shortfall, set to peak at 54,700. 🌆 Construction costs in Brisbane are projected to rise 30.5% by 2029, driven by labour demand and supply strain. At Stellar, we’re helping clients stay ahead: 👉 88+ years of combined expertise 👉 650,000+ qualified professionals in our network 👉 32,000+ placements We’re not just responding to market demand, we’re building the teams to deliver it. We’re proud to support organisations shaping Brisbane, Queensland – helping our city grow into a true world city as we head towards the 2032 Olympics and beyond.

Last Sunday, Stellar had the pleasure of helping organise a special moment for a little legend, Josie. Josie took on the role of ball runner at the @highlandersteam vs Moana Pasifika game at Forsyth Barr Stadium and crushed it. When we knew that we had this opportunity, Business Development Manager, Paul Miller, spoke to Josie’s Dad, who straight away said she’d love to. Josie is a mad and passionate rugby fan, loves the Highlanders, and loves her Alhambra Union Rugby club, which is the kit she is decked out in on the field.
