Nominated in the category of Recruitment Leader of the year, Stella finds herself in the running for one of the industry’s highest honours, commonly known as the SARAs.

She’s among five finalists for the prize, which is scheduled to be announced at the glittering night at Mural Hall in Melbourne on Tuesday, November 19.

This category was open to all recruitment professionals at management level, or in a leadership role, with finalists having been judged to have demonstrated the ability to foster relationships, solve problems, communicate effectively, and adapt to change.

The judges were, according to the awards’ official website, “seeking someone who inspires and motivates others, performs to business objectives, and is making an impact within the agency and recruitment sector as a whole.”

“I’m thrilled to have been acknowledged by the industry for the hard work we all do here at REO Group,” Stella said.

“Industry accolades like this are the cherry on top of the highly gratifying and rewarding work we do all year round to put the right people in the right jobs, and I’m delighted to have been named a finalist among my colleagues – all of whom I hold in the utmost respect and regard.”
