Stellar Recruitment is pleased to announce a strategic expansion of its workforce capability, following an agreement to acquire the workforce division of Lynx Recruitment. This move reinforces Stellar’s commitment to delivering exceptional recruitment solutions across New Zealand and responding to growing industry demand. 

As part of this growth, Stellar welcomes a group of experienced consultants into its team including Jason Boot, Mark Hoare, Janaye Watts, and Jack Mullins. Their expertise and industry knowledge will further strengthen Stellar’s ability to support clients with high-quality, tailored recruitment and workforce solutions. 

This acquisition sees 120 skilled field staff join Stellar’s team, significantly enhancing our on-the-ground capability. The industries supported through this expansion build on Stellar’s existing strengths and include warehousing, manufacturing, production and construction sector job categories. By deepening our footprint in these sectors, Stellar is better positioned to meet the evolving needs of clients and deliver workforce solutions that are both scalable and specialised. 

“This expansion is about capability, not just capacity,” says Robbie McIlraith, General Manager of Stellar Recruitment New Zealand. “We are investing in people who bring deep expertise and strong sector relationships, which allows us to better serve our clients and support the industries that drive progress and innovation across the country.” 

The integration of these consultants reflects Stellar’s ongoing commitment to building a resilient, future-focused workforce. With a proven track record across multiple sectors, the new team members bring valuable insight and energy to Stellar’s professional services offering. 

Kymberly Jones, Northern Manager NZ, adds: “We are excited to welcome these talented consultants and field staff to the Stellar team. Their experience and alignment with our values will help us continue to deliver outstanding service and build long-term partnerships with our clients.” 

This expansion is a proactive step in Stellar’s broader strategy to support industry growth and respond to evolving workforce needs. 

Stellar Recruitment looks forward to supporting clients with this enhanced capability and welcomes conversations about how we can help meet evolving workforce needs.
