   Deciding your next Career Move with Stellar’s Kymberly Tupai and Georgia Mackie

   During this podcast we hear from two of Stellar’s very own (and successful) team members, Kymberly Tupai – Manager of New Zealand’s North Region and Georgia Mackie, Brisbane’s Principal Consultant for Corporate Services. These two ladies are making bold moves in their space and are here to dig into what it takes to secure your next your next career opportunity and the key considerations when deciding to make the change! 1:53 - Knowing Your Reasons for Change 3:34 - Benefits Offered by the Company 5:10 - The Team Behind the Company 5:34 - Organisational Culture 6:40 - Passion for the Business 7:41 - Growth and Educational Opportunities in the Company 8:50 - Company Stability 10:11 - Personal Brand Knowing Your Reasons for Change When looking to change careers or move on in your career, knowing why you want to make that shift is crucial. It is important to pre-empt the concept of counteroffers and how you will manage this process. It is a hot market with a lot of promises so deep diving into the key aspects of the role and how this will impact your career journey is critical. Benefits Offered by the Company When looking at a new prospective career, look at what the business can offer you from outside remuneration only. It is important to open the conversation and look at the different ways your potential employer supports their employees and if perks such as wellness plans or reimbursements are included. Remember that your base salary is just one part of your compensation package. The Team Behind the Company When going through the interview process, meet the team and ask for names. Nothing affects office culture more than your co-workers. Speaking with your future team members prior to starting can shed some light on the group dynamics and managerial structures. Further into your role, consider all interactions and if they are timely and courteous; are these the people you would like to work with? Candidate due diligence is looking at your network and seeing if they have worked with or know someone with a mutual relationship. Organisational Culture Understanding the culture of the business and what it is like to stand out in the business should be heavily considered when looking at a company’s office culture. The ‘office culture’ and ‘vibe’ are intangible assets that can be tricky to decipher prior to starting. Asking questions about the office culture and aspects such as flexible hours or team-building events are beneficial. This could also be a good opportunity to gain insight into whether the employees at your new job enjoy working for the company and if they feel like their work is valued. Passion for the Business From the first interview, you get insight into the vision and goals of the company. Ask yourself- does the company vision excite you? Passion is a key driver and motivation tool for coming to work each day so if there is a unified vision that aligns with your own personal goals, you can determine whether the job is the right fit for you. Growth and Educational Opportunities in the Company Prior to starting at your new role, ask about advancement opportunities. Working for an organisation that supports and encourages personal growth is what you should aim for. Understand the structural dynamic of the company; is there potential to move up in the business? Or are there lateral movements that are more suitable? It is important to recognise that some employees are not looking to step up, they just want to add to their skill set. Company Stability A crucial tool for organisations is to allow opportunities for growth and financially support your employees. Conduct thorough research on your potential employer before making any official decision. Making observations on whether the company are in the media for the right reasons and deciphering whether the company have a track record of redundancies or cutbacks is critical. It can be an exciting process, but you must consider the element of risk. Personal Brand Throughout the recruitment process, ensure you have taken measures to protect your individual brand. Know your salary expectations before entering the interview process and be aware of what your expectations of the business are. It is likely you can make suggestions that may benefit your own personal career growth throughout the offer process. How you conduct yourself irrespective of taking the job is key. Let’s go on an inspiring journey by listening, learning and taking key actions from our own recruitment experts as well as industry leaders and inspirational individuals. Together, each month, we unpack key actions on how we can all learn from others’ experiences and industry knowledge; unlocking our own transformative change, so that we can all become the best version of ourselves.

   Not your Typical Construction Organisation - with Rotem Rotenburg from Cobild

   During this episode, Shaun McCambridge, Stellar’s Managing Director, sits down with Rotem Rotenburg, Director of Cobild, to discuss the company and an exciting new role that has arisen. Cobild is an award-winning and successful construction organisation based out of Melbourne, who are continuing to grow each day. They are now on the lookout for a Construction Manager to join the team and play a pivotal role as they embark on their 10-year plan. Shaun and Rotem dive deep into Cobild’s values and vision for the future and what is involved in this new and exciting career opportunity. ROTEM’S HIGHLIGHTS: 1:18 - The Cobild Story 3:58 - Current projects in the pipeline 6:19 - Voted one of the Best Places to Work 9:28 - Not your typical builder 10:40 - Philosophies around customer retention and engagement 12:57 - The Construction Manager - Key Aspects 15:56 - Style of Person that will fit well in this role and business 19:11 - Drivers to be better and going from Strength to Strength 20:57 - Relaxing away from Cobild 22:18 - 10 miracles over 10 years 25:22 - Formula for a business continuing to grow and scale 26:52 - A great career move for the next Cobild Construction Manager The Cobild Story Being a family-run business, hard-working attitudes have been installed into the business and the team since day one. Starting out in landscaping and fencing then moving on to small scale construction work, the business grew quickly and now completes quality, high-end homes and construction projects. From humble beginnings to a significantly scaled business, there is a continual drive and energy to succeed and look after each other. Current Projects in the Pipeline There are currently four key sectors for their scopes of work. Mansion style houses in affluent suburbs, high-end multi-residential and boutique apartments, mixed use retail and office apartments, and commercial office spaces. Partnering with clients is the journey, not the projects taken on. Voted one of the Best Places to Work Put simply, it’s the people. They are driven, motivated, and high performing. Wins are shared, challenges are worked on together and there is care, trust, and respect for one another. The values are based around relationships - “we say what we mean and we do what we say. Everything we do is a little bit different and that breeds success with our people.” Not your Typical Builder Everything is easy, nothing is too hard and solutions are found. Having a great rapport with everyone is not the typical way in the industry. Normal builders go one way, Cobild goes another - down to operations, how people are treated and the interaction with clients from start to finish. Philosophies around customer retention and engagement There is a specific demographic of clients who are young at heart, care, are energetic, and want to be taken along for the ride. There is ongoing touch with customers and communication that forms a big part of the customer dynamic. These values contribute to the 95%+ customer retention and referrals, this is something the business thrives on. The Construction Manager - Key Aspects To help with the direction of the business and the vision for success, someone will be brought in to help at an operational level, continue to drive client relations, support the team, accelerate current programs, and deliver on quality. This person will be part of high performing team, take pride in their work and be an exceptional team player. There is an opportunity for this person to embed themselves in a great culture. Style of Person that will Fit Well in this Role and Business Someone who has a lot of empathy, understands clients’ and teams’ needs who can give them support to excel, and can really define what success means to them and the business. They are driven, passionate, in it for the long haul, and what to have a positive impact on the already high performing culture that is Cobild. This person wants to be part of something bigger and will always remember it isn’t just about construction. Drivers to be Better and Going From Strength to Strength. It is really important to have a greater purpose, it isn’t just about the work completed it is about having an energy to enrich peoples lives. Life is a gift and we have all had challenges but it is important to look at the good in life and from there, everything gets better. Relaxing Away from Cobild Mediation, reading, spending time with the family, keeping active, and doing what you love. Nothing too crazy - do the simple things and enjoy life with the important people in your life. 10 Miracles Over 10 Years Creating 10 miracles in 10 years is a huge and rewarding project. Miracles are unique, special, and resonate with the business such as the camp out planned for last year, which was unfortunately derailed by the pandemic, to go and help rebu...
