We are honoured to be named a finalist for Agency of the Year at the 2025 SEEK SARA Awards - a recognition that celebrates the heart of our business: our people. From growing our national footprint to elevating candidate care and driving industry innovation, this nomination reflects the collective energy, care, and ambition that define Stellar Recruitment. 

Stellar Recruitment has continued to evolve with purpose and impact over the past 12 months. We have expanded our regional footprint with new offices in Napier, Wellington, and Dunedin, strengthening our connection to local communities and deepening our support for employment across New Zealand. 

Internally, we have broadened our capabilities with new service lines, including Stellar Immigration Services and Executive Search, while growing our team and enhancing operational support. Our full-service candidate experience model now includes in-house specialists across immigration, housing, onboarding, and payroll, ensuring every candidate feels supported from start to finish. 

“This nomination reflects the values we live every day - care, integrity, and excellence. Stellar is a business that puts people first, and I am proud of the way our team continues to innovate, grow, and lead with purpose.” Said Kymberly Jones, Northern Region Manager, NZ. 

“Agency of the Year is about more than performance – it is about impact. Stellar’s growth, our commitment to candidate and client care, and our team’s contribution to the industry show what is possible when you lead with heart and strategy. I could not be prouder of the Stellar team.” Said Robbie McIlraith, General Manager. 

Congratulations to the entire Stellar team. The whole team's dedication, innovation, and care continue to set a benchmark for excellence - and we are proud to see it recognised at the 2025 SARAs.
