How we work
Our recruitment process.Six stages, clear steps, clear terms.
How a Stellaspire recruitment search runs in India, from the first conversation to the day your new hire joins.
Hand-picked, not keyword-matched
Trusted by growing companies and global teams.
One accountable partner, from brief to joining.
Align the brief
Agree the role, the business goal, pay range and what success looks like.
Map the market
A focused search and early feedback on availability and pay.
Approach and assess
Personal outreach, then interviews on capability, motivation and fit.
Present a shortlist
Candidates we would stand behind, each with a written summary. Every shortlist includes qualified women.
Interviews and offer
We schedule interviews, collect feedback quickly and align the offer.
Coordinate to joining
We stay in touch through notice period and onboarding.
Most searches stall at the brief.
We would rather send you fewer, better-matched profiles than a long list to sort through.

Working with us.
How does a recruitment agency work?
We agree a brief with the employer, search and assess candidates, present a shortlist, and coordinate interviews and offers. The employer pays; candidates do not.
What is the difference between contingency and retained search?
Contingency is paid only when a candidate joins. Retained search is a dedicated, research-led engagement for senior or confidential roles, with fees agreed in stages.
Do you offer a replacement if a hire leaves?
Yes. Replacement terms are agreed in writing before the search begins.
Do candidates pay Stellaspire?
No. Stellaspire never charges candidates. Our fees are paid by the hiring organisation.
