Case Study: Stellar Recruitment achieves global talent reach and 50% recruitment cost savings with LinkedIn Talent Solutions

Stellar Recruitment turns to digital platforms to connect with candidates worldwide

Stellar Recruitment, an 85‑person agency specializing in permanent and contract hires for global mining, oil & gas and construction, needed a much larger, truly global database of active and passive candidates and a stronger brand presence in key markets (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the US). The sector’s highly mobile workforce made finding, contacting and placing the right people slow and expensive, and the company also wanted to attract high‑quality internal hires as it expanded.

By adopting LinkedIn Talent Solutions (including LinkedIn Recruiter, Job Slots and Career Pages), Stellar tapped a global network, added 3,000 hand‑picked candidates, made 60 senior placements, cut recruitment costs by about 50% and reduced time‑to‑contact to 24–48 hours. The platform also strengthened Stellar’s employer brand—doubling followers quickly, achieving top Talent Brand Index scores in its Australian sectors and improving InMail response and job apply rates.
