WE DRIVE THE SEARCH FOR GREAT LEADERS


LEADERS TRANSFORM ORGANIZATIONS. WE RECRUIT LEADERS WHO ARE
CHANGE-MAKERS.
Shailja Dutt
Founder and Chairperson, Stellar Search


In the words of John Maxwell “A leader’s courage to ful ll his vision comes from passion and not position”. Leadership is no longer about hierarchy and level. Leadership today is driven by passion, the ability to make change happen. Change of not only translating a vision into reality but of creating an impact for generations.
Stellar Search catalyzes transformation through people. The leaders we recruit not only manage businesses, they transform organizations.
For me and the entire team of consultants at Stellar, what we do is leadership talent acquisition, but that’s merely theory. Our purpose is larger, more substantive than closing a mandate successfully. With relentless passion and tenacity, we endeavor to strengthen the businesses of our clients, to add value, and make
a difference. Difference not only to the bottom-line but also to the culture of our clients’ organizations
by recruiting the nest leadership teams, that have a proven track record of delivering incredible results and tangible, positive change.

THE SCIENCE OF FINDING LEADERS.
AND HOW WE’VE TURNED IT INTO AN ART FORM.


PERSONALIZED ATTENTION
We provide an array of search solutions that are customized to the client’s speci c need.
LARGER AND WIDER CANDIDATE ACCESS
We focus on a limited number of clients at a given time and hence have very few off-limit constraints.
LOCAL TALENT
Despite a large and wide global reach, we endeavor to nd the best local talent in all geographies that we operate in.
STRONG TECHNOLOGY SAVVY PROCESS
We bring an assurance of con dentiality to our clients and candidates alike and work on realistic, well-speci ed time-frames and budgeted costs. Robust, time-tested processes form the core
of our every engagement. Our cutting-edge research capability allows us to identify potential candidates in the shortest possible time-frame. We have a strong reputation of recruiting exceptional candidates with better stick rates. For every candidate selected, we do a minimum of ve reference checks.
DIVERSITY
With every one in ve candidates that we place, we make it a point to maintain gender and demographic diversity.

our workforce demographics – a value that continues to help differentiate our performance relative to others!

PASSION AND STELLAR ARE SYNONYMOUS. OUR CLIENTS
“
“THINK SO TOO.
we honed down on our preferred candidate.
I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Stellar from both ends of the spectrum, as a candidate and then using them as a recruiter to set up
an entire market company for me in South Africa. Shailja Dutt is by far the best leader
I’ve ever met. She is someone who leads
from the front, brings all the passion and the energy into your business. The technology, the team, their processes of the recruitment have always wowed me. It’s really the thorough understanding and positioning of our business and our culture and our vision that Stellar
just gets, & put it out there to the people we
like to bring on board. The turnaround time,
the packaging, the professional approach is something that I absolutely admire. We’ve been very happy to partner with them and Gruppo Campari is very impressed by the service, the support and the team effort that has gone into the job they do so well.
Jason Schmidt

Great job by the team.
Nalin Jain

Shailja and her team goes very deep to

PRIVATE EQUITY & CONSULTING
BRINGING GLOBAL TALENT TO FRONTIER MARKETS
Private equity rms, globally, have never had greater opportunity or faced greater risk than they do today. With the advent of the “new digital world” disrupting the way business is done in even the most traditional of industries, there is a pressing need for stronger business strategies resulting in better outcomes and hence better return on investment.

Our Partners have deep networks and close relationships with prime leadership talent and the foremost investment and advisory executives across emerging markets, globally.
At Stellar, it is our endeavour to work closely with investment rms and their portfolio companies to enhance both the nancial and commercial value of the investees and to maximise returns for the investor. To us, the most critical aspect of value creation lies not in simply identifying and bringing on board the right talent, but working closely with the client to help integrate this talent with the cultural nuances of the client company.
Our client portfolio includes a mix of conventional multi-sectoral private equity rms, sector focussed rms & impact investment funds addressing critical economic and social challenges across frontier markets.
