“We'd previously met with another Agency and the difference was astounding. Shailja (and Stellar as a business) is very "westernised" in her approach, massively passionate about what she does and definitely "gets it" when it comes to working on behalf of an International Business such as BAE. We had a fantastic insight from her and her colleague regarding the challenges in not only recruiting but retaining senior level positions across India etc. We'll certainly keep in touch with her and have already passed on her details to our ex-pat team based in Delhi, who have been encouraged to talk to her about any imminent resourcing requirements”.

“You did a beautiful job Shailja and I'm delighted you are on our team! I've been in this business many years and have dealt with high calibre search firms here in the US. You/ Stellar and your technology are head and shoulders ahead of all of us”.

“I now know Shailja for more than 10 years. I met her first, when she approached me for a role on behalf of one of her clients. I was very impressed with her professionalism. She represented the client organization so well and knew all the aspects of the organization; it almost felt that she was the MD of the company. She had all her information on her finger tips and gave a very balanced view point. Later, I have requested her to help in searches and she has again been professional in her approach and methodical. She understands the organization and takes pains to get into details and is able to do a through search. Lastly, I know her as a friend, who has always been very supportive and trustworthy.”

“Shailja is a valued talent acquisition partner for our India operations. She added distinct value by her sheer initiative, market understanding, being able to challenge existing thoughts/processes and simply exemplifying the role of a trusted partner. She and her team wrapped many unique solutions that added diversity to our workforce demographics - a value that continues to help differentiate our performance relative to others!”

“Shailja has built Stellar Search with 100% commitment, dedication, and most importantly, passion. The company has been a key business partner to us and has added significant value to our business over the years by bringing the right people for the right roles in the right time at the right cost. Their emphasis on strong processes and customer service after getting to know their clients thoroughly is a strong plus. Stellar's location expansion from Delhi to Bangalore and Kolkata has also improved their service to us. The Stellar team is effective and emotionally involved with us, and that what makes them different. We see a long term relationship with Stellar as an asset to us.”

“Shailja is an astute and visionary business woman with an eye for perfection and service excellence. The way Stellar Search has grown from strength to strength – spilling over international boundaries under her leadership - is a testimony to the same. As an individual, she packs in stupendous amounts of energy, charisma and enthusiasm which can leave lasting impressions for all who interact with her – clients, candidates, friends and her team alike! As a professional, she has the ability to understand client expectations and ensure spot on delivery – ensuring that Stellar Search is a ‘partner of choice’ for her clients. Her ability to connect and establish relations is par excellence. For me she is a glowing example of a balanced and successful Indian business woman. I wish her success for the future, which is a certainty anyway!” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert Vaishali Chohan |

“Shailja is the personification of the drive, energy and ambition that the world talks about today when referring to India. She has taken her business to immense heights in a short period of time – this is of course due to her vision for her company, but equally because of the way she is with her team (who she treats as equals), her customers (the C-Suite of large MNCs) and her clients – the candidates. She makes an effort to get to know each one personally, invests a lot of time in preparing them and positioning them for the right role in the right organization. Shailja has the gravitas one would obviously expect from someone at her position and also has the ability to not intimidate anyone – rather going out of her way to put you at ease.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert Shivani Maitra, |

“On a professional level, Shailja is the most wonderful thing that can happen to the Head of Recruiting of a large organization. Her work ethics, process management skills and business acumen are exemplary in her field of expertise. She is able to control and decentralize as required. On a personal level, she is a warm, caring, fun loving, responsible and attractive girl. You will wish that you were more like her (except the health freak in her)”

“I have been associated with Kavita for some time in UAE in her capacity as the Lead Resource for Stellar Search in this region. I have found her extremely thorough in her processes and demonstrates a refreshing understanding of business that is quite unusual in Recruiters in the region. Her research is very detailed and her feedback concise and adds tremendous value to the whole recruiting process.”

“Kavita personifies a professional fully dedicated to its work. Her great attention to detail, hard work and keen desire to help customers are some qualities par excellence. Kavita's filed of work is inundated with professionals flaunting a wide array of credentials. There is lot of buzz but very little substance. However, working with Kavita, I found a Recruiting Partners who painstakingly works to understand and deliver to customer needs versus making lofty commitments with no real added value. Kavita's humility if of highest order, she always gives suggestions with supporting evidence in a way that doesn't have any hint of arrogance of expertise/mastery. This helps strengthen the two way communication essential in the intricate Recruiting/Staffing Work. Kavita is also very flexible and open to customer need. In my case, establishing things from scratch made me change the candidate profiles as things emerge. Kavita instead of being frustrated with this, listened to the changing needs with openess and help us move forward. I would like to end this with my sincerest wishes for long term personal and professional success for Kavita”

“Kavita is a wiff of fresh air in this world of Executive Search where everyone claims to use cutting edge technology...... while she prides herself on using common sense and oodles of personal touch. A remarkable sense of purpose mixed with indefatigable pursuit for achievement distinguishes her from the rest. She does rely heavily on her organisation's strength in research and delivery processes but her uncanny knack in understanding diverse client requirements and priorities marks her as a great associate to work with. She has been frontending for Stellar with great success. Methodical and yet intuitive, she brings great value to her assignements and uses the solutions approach very effectively. A large heart, larger desire to excel in what she does , an ability to zero in on the core, a disarmingly pleasant personality coupled with the ability to cut across all levels helps her reach where others fail. Kavita comes across as an honest and unpretentious person who has a no nonsence approach to her work and a huge will to succeed. It a pleasure to work with Kavita .....my entire Resourcing Team loves her style, attitude and delivery . Way to Go Kavita !!! shishir”
