About Stellar

We've got a lot of talent. And we're always looking for more.

Running a small-to-medium-sized business has always been tough. Today, with employee loyalty down, talent needs up and the new work-from-anywhere expectations of employees, attracting top talent can seem practically impossible.


Where Talent Comes Naturally. 

Creative, marketing and development careers share one thing in common – natural gifts. Qualified candidates are driven more by their natural talents within themselves than they are the credentials and experience written on their resume. This makes it tough for typical hiring managers. 


  • Designers need perfect kerning in their portfolios. 
  • Art directors need big ideas that “have legs.” 
  • Copywriters need killer headlines that require a stickman sketch and no explanation. 
  • And the best developers may need to drop out of college, get jacked up on Red Bull and write code all night. 


How do HR and other recruiters qualify these types of candidates?

They don't. We do. Before being recruiters, we were those candidates. We’ve hired those candidates. At times, we’ve fired those candidates when we made a mistake. We’ve spent 25 years leading, managing and doing all of these things within agencies, Fortune 1,000’s, and industry leading software organizations. And we’ve built a great network along the way. 


Our Non-Exclusive, Full-Time Guarantee.

That’s right, you can still recruit on your own and we’re good with that. Heck, even hire other recruiters, too. We don’t earn a penny until your new Stellar Recruit shows up for work on day one. 


How long does it take to hire Stellar Talent? 

We aim to get you three qualified candidates within the first 30 days for each position with a goal to fill your position within 60. We respect the hiring processes of our clients and some move quick and others move slow, but once we have a qualified candidate we do ask that we keep momentum and engagement high. 

Leadership

Jamison Mullikin

President, Recruiter

Jamison, or Jami as his friends call him, is a proverbial odd duck. As a three-time agency founder, his career has transitioned from an accomplished creative director and marketing thought-leader, to a respected entrepreneur, advisor, storyteller, and connector.


I know a guy that knows a guy.

In January of 2022, Jami founded Mullikin+Co, a marketing and sales advisory firm, to assemble a team of industry veterans to tackle the sales and marketing challenges that slow the growth of many organizations. Known as the "guy that knows a guy", an agency client asked Jami to assist them recruiting creative talent. In a matter of weeks, that led to multiple agencies requested recruiting assistance. In a matter of months that led to hundreds of conversations, interviews and several successful placements that all came through high-touch outreach without wasting time on unqualified candidates from generalists job sites.


A stellar idea.

Stellar Recruiting was officially launched in June of 2022. Built on an extensive, national agency and marketing network from a 25 year career, Stellar is built by creatives for the creative industry.
