Volume vs precision
Recruiting isn’t about volume. It’s about precision.
Volume staffing
The usual play- Resumes for what the firm already has, not what you asked for.
- A high volume of submittals for every req.
- No stated reason why any particular name reached your inbox.
- An account executive several layers removed from ultimate decision-making authority and ownership.
- The relationship ends at the invoice.
- A pool farmed from job postings and other passive recruiting methods.
StellarMettle
How we run
- Michael and Javier own the account: ultimate decision-making authority and ownership, zero layers of separation.
- A recruiting team screens every candidate before you see one.
- Every submittal tailored to the requirement you described.
- Every candidate comes with the reason we picked them.
- Client relationships that outlast the search.
- We hunt: a personalized outbound search for exactly what you asked for.

What clients say
Trusted by growing companies like yours.
The Founders at StellarMettle are true partners. They are invested in my success and are tireless in helping me achieve it. Without exception, they field the highest quality candidates in the shortest period of time. They have become indispensable to my business and my go-to team for staffing and recruiting.
Manufacturing
StellarMettle has assisted with placing several members on our team. Every submission was tailored specifically for the role, they were vetted, and were extremely relevant to the position. I couldn’t be happier with the level of service and support I’ve received and would strongly recommend StellarMettle to anyone looking to fill a role.
Manufacturing
I have worked with StellarMettle for almost two decades and they have become my trusted “go-to” recruiting partner for everything. They are unwavering in their pursuit and the ethical manner in which they conduct themselves provides me with complete trust; which is exceedingly rare in their industry. I highly recommend StellarMettle to any and every person interested in hiring, as they are hands down the best of the best in their field.
Technology
I’ve been working with the Partners at StellarMettle since 2016, and they have consistently outperformed other recruiting firms with the quality of candidates they’ve produced that also fit my workplace culture. I’ve worked with many staffing agencies in the past, and this is the only one I’ve used for exclusive placement of positions, that’s how confident I am in their ability to fulfill my staffing requirements.
Fintech
We used StellarMettle to fill several “hard to fill” roles in my organization, including but not limited to: Data Engineering Manager, Senior Data Engineers, Cloud Architect, and DevOps Principals, as we built out our data lake, AI / ML Ops team. They were most professional and listened attentively to our needs, trying to get the requirements, job description and particular nuances for the roles right in the first few meetings. They literally did “shake the trees” and discovered true gems in a tough market like Atlanta, who proved to be great hires for us! They exceeded our expectations in their ability to find, screen, and prequalify the candidates, as shown by the quality of candidates presented. Their ability to respond to our feedback, and keep improving the funnel was outstanding, saving us tons of interview hours. They facilitated the entire process from interview, to offer acceptance, with a very impressive offer to hire ratio, better than any other sourcing company we have used in the past, or even used simultaneously for the same roles.
Engineering
StellerMettle are experienced professionals that deliver with a high say-do ratio with the right candidates for the job. My managers have been consistently impressed with the caliber of the team’s candidates presented, as well as the professional methods they employ in our relationship.

FAQ
Questions a hiring manager actually asks. If yours is not here: hello@stellarmettle.com.
How long does this take?
First short list inside five business days of the intake call. Average time to fill is 17 days. Both depend on the role.
What if we fill the role ourselves?
Then there is nothing to invoice. The fee is invoiced when someone we placed starts.
What does it cost?
On a direct hire the fee is a percentage of the person's first-year base salary, invoiced once they start. On a contract placement we bill an hourly rate and carry the payroll and the employment taxes.
What is not included?
Training and certification, and relocation. Background checks and drug screening are included on a contract placement; on a direct hire, the client is responsible for screening costs.
Who actually does the work?
The partners own the relationship and conduct the intake themselves. Our recruiting team owns the first stage of sourcing and screening.
Why can't I see your client list?
In recruiting, published client lists get poached. The testimonials carry the proof instead, at the level of identification each client chose.
What happens if the hire does not work out?
On a direct hire, a 90-day guarantee: we replace them at no cost to you or we refund your money, whatever you choose.
Do you work outside the US?
