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.
Recently, Stellar Recruitment’s Northern Automotive & Heavy Equipment Maintenance team had a fantastic day at the Dargaville District Field Days. Pierre Smit and Anel Viljoen attended the Northland Field Days in Dargaville - the region’s largest agricultural event showcasing farming innovation, machinery, and strong community connection.
The atmosphere was buzzing, with thousands of attendees exploring equipment displays, agri technology, and hands on demonstrations across the grounds. Our team enjoyed catching up with clients, connecting with industry professionals, and getting a bit corny (Anel!)
Two weeks into their recruitment careers at Stellar.
Here’s what surprised them.
Recruitment isn’t for everyone.
But if you’re competitive, resilient and motivated by growth - this could be the start of something big.
If you’re competitive, coachable and ready to build something long-term - let’s talk.

The pace hasn’t slowed down since we opened our Ellerslie office with a revolving door of candidates, plenty of phone time, and that familiar recruitment buzz - we love to see it.
And just a reminder: our Auckland CBD office is still going strong, giving our Auckland crew more ways to connect.
Check out the video of our newest office.

The Stellar Recruitment team was pumped to be part of this year’s Carters Auckland Charity Golf Day. An incredible event raising over $95,000 for Melanoma New Zealand who raise awareness, early detection initiatives, and vital patient support services across New Zealand.
We were proud to sponsor a hole this year, with Blair Stewart, Joe Ward, and Richard Haddon representing Stellar on the course. Our photo booth activation proved to be a hit, with plenty of laughs, and great connections throughout the day.
We are grateful to play a small part in supporting the fight against melanoma and helping ensure more Kiwis have access to free spot checks, education, and meaningful support when they need it most.

Stellar Recruitment were pumped to facilitate the ball runner for the Highlanders game a couple of weeks ago against the Chiefs! 🏉
Six-year-old Bryn Carey, who plays for the Pirates took on the role, and absolutely nailed it. Under the lights, he brought the ball out to the boys with confidence, determination, and speed.
Safe to say he covered some serious ground out there…and looked pretty sharp in the kit too!
Awesome job, Bryn - future star in the making!

Big moments for our Stellar Rugby community 💙🏉
We were proud to see the @highlandersteam – one of our major sponsorship partners in New Zealand – training on Brisbane turf at @eastsrugbyunion, a club that represents the true grassroots spirit of our community and the heart of Queensland rugby.
From elite performance to local passion, this crossover is what it’s all about. Supporting the Highlanders at the highest level and backing Easts Rugby at grassroots level reflects who we are at Stellar – committed to growing talent, strengthening communities, and inspiring greatness from the ground up.
Seeing these two worlds connect on the same field was something special.

Meet Carlos Gameiro, a key member of our Engineering team who brings a strong blend of operational experience, sector knowledge, and genuine people‑focus to his role.

Great to see Mike Newell, Faifili Levave, and Faifili's fellow Hurricanes alumni Christian Cullen out on the course supporting the Hurricanes Alumni at their annual Golf Day last week.
The event brought players, alumni, and supporters together for connection and competition - while also raising funds for wellbeing, mental health, education, transition support, and hardship assistance across the Hurricanes alumni.
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.”
Breaking into a new industry isn’t always easy, but with the right support, it can be a genuine game-changer.

The Brisbane Lions are back in the AFL Grand Final and so is the spirit of community sport! 🦁
At Stellar, we believe the best part of finals footy isn’t just what happens on the field - it’s what’s built off it.
This week, our team joined in the Auskick action at Post Office Square, kicking footies, high-fiving future stars, and soaking up the energy that only grassroots sport can bring. 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.
Good luck to the Brisbane Lions this weekend! From junior fields to the Grand Final stage, we’re proud to be part of the journey.

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 🥳.

This year, we’re proud to support one of our own by sponsoring Hayden Gladish's daughter's local netball team. It’s more than just putting a logo on jerseys; it’s about backing the communities our people live, work, and play in.
From weekend games to future dreams, we know the impact that community sport has in building confidence, teamwork, and connection. Supporting initiatives like this is our way of giving back while celebrating what matters most to our team.
Here’s to a great season ahead for the girls. We’ll be cheering from the sidelines!

🚲 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.

🏗️ 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.
Shaping Queensland’s Global Future 2032 and Beyond.

At Stellar Recruitment, we are incredibly proud to be part of the transformative new hospital build in Dunedin. This project is not only reshaping the city’s healthcare future but also shaping careers.
This week, we took a moment during smoko to say a big thank you to the hardworking crew on site. With the help of the awesome team from the @highlandersteam, we handed out kai and shared some well earned pizza from @biggies.dunedin with the legends making it all happen.
For many of our team, this has been a career defining opportunity, and it was fantastic to pause, reflect, and celebrate the mahi being done.

The Stellar Recruitment Dunedin team had the privilege of attending the 2025 @highlandersteam Annual Awards Evening at the University of Otago Business School.
Our team, Robbie McIlraith (General Manager), Paul Miller (Business Development Manager), Stacey Wing (Senior Consultant), and Desiree Miller (Operations Coordinator), enjoyed an unforgettable evening celebrating a season defined by talent, resilience, and community spirit.
A special shoutout to Timoci Tavatavanawai, who stole the spotlight with five major awards, including the prestigious Pulse Energy MVP, and confirmed his commitment to the Highlanders with a 2 year contract extension!
Also making waves was Fabian Holland, named both Forward of the Year and Defender of the Year, while also locking in a 3 year extension, a true powerhouse in the pack.
The night was a powerful reminder of the values that drive success, both on and off the field. Congratulations to all the winners and the Highlanders on an inspiring evening. Stellar is proud to support the team this season and can’t wait for 2026!

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.
Josie was an absolute delight and did an amazing job being the ball runner – look at that awesome smile! We’re so happy to have played a part in making this experience happen for Josie and hope she has some wonderful memories from her big moment.

Stellar Recruitment has been a proud supporter of King’s High School even before our official formation in 2006.
Our co-founders, Robbie McIlraith and Shaun McCambridge, met at Kings High School in the late 1990s. Dunedin-based Business Development Manager, Paul Miller, is also a King’s Old Boy.
The team at Stellar continues to support Kings High School by sponsoring King’s Rugby, covering fees, equipment, and kits. Additionally, we assist students who are transitioning from school to work.
Our latest initiative was particularly special. The @highlandersteam visited the school for a training session and BBQ with the students. This event provided a valuable opportunity for skill enhancement and development in a high-performance environment.
Learning from experts, whether in sports or professionally, is crucial for personal development. We are proud to have facilitated this important moment for young people.

Our Co-Founder and Managing Director, Shaun McCambridge, recently returned to King's High School, where it all began, joining fellow Old Boy and Dunedin-based Business Development Manager Paul Miller to speak with students from the Gateway Programme, Employment Studies, and Careers class.
Now based in Brisbane, Shaun first crossed paths with fellow Stellar Co-Founder Robbie McIlraith during their time at King’s - where the early foundations of Stellar Recruitment were quietly taking shape, long before either stepped into the world of recruitment.
During the session, Shaun shared key lessons from his career journey, offered practical career planning advice, answered thoughtful student questions, and emphasised the importance of building meaningful relationships, staying curious, and remaining open to opportunities.
Shaun has remained a dedicated supporter of the King’s community since his school days, as he continues mentoring and inspiring the next generation of professionals.

This season, we’re proud to see the Stellar Recruitment logo on the Wellington Old Boys-University Rugby Football Club (OBU) kit—a partnership that reflects our shared values of community, connection, and talent development.
🤝 Why OBU? With a strong legacy and deep ties to the local community, OBU’s focus on building culture, performance, and growth aligns closely with how we operate—on and off the field.
🏉 Backing Local Talent: Supporting local sport is one of the ways we stay connected to the communities we work in, while helping create real opportunities for emerging talent.
👀 Wellington-based Business Development Manager Mike Newell has worn the OBU jersey himself. These days, he’s traded the rugby boots for business meetings, but the team-first mindset remains the same.

Last week we celebrated the launch of Stellar’s newest office in Napier with an incredible event, Rugbynomics: The Intersection of Sport, Community, and the Economy. The evening featured an exclusive panel with Richie McCaw, Simon Tremain, and Blair Nicholl, chaired by Stellar’s local Business Development Manager, Bodie McNaught. This provided a fantastic networking opportunity for all attendees.
Held at the National Gin Distillery Company, the event was a full house and truly highlighted the deep connection between business and community – something Stellar is passionate about. The Hawke’s Bay is a wonderful region with fantastic businesses. With strong economic growth and a focus on talent attraction, the future of recruitment here looks bright.
