How we do it
The unique formula that helps us build precisely the project teams you need.
We're on a mission to help organisations thrive during periods of change and innovation.
We put your strategy into motion with the fast-paced assembly of highly skilled delivery teams. Or if you need help to define the scope, our thought leaders can help at the discovery stage.
Our engagement delivery managers work with you to define the milestones and deliverables that will get your project over the line, via our robust Statements of Work (SoWs).
Then it's our job to oversee the delivery, keeping teams on track and making sure KPIs are met. We also take care of team wellbeing and performance management.
Skin in the game
Want services based on Time & Materials (T&M) or fixed prices for milestone or full project delivery? No problem. We structure payment models that always keep us focused and accountable, taking into account your appetite for risk.
The perfect match
We assemble your project team from the best talent in the market, engaging subject
matter experts and experienced change professionals. What’s our secret? Award-winning sister company William Alexander Recruitment.
Accept no substitutes
We don’t carry the overhead of a permanent bench of consultants who risk being rotated onto other projects. You get the A-team for the duration of the engagement.
Premier League
Our thought leaders bring the “been there, done that” expertise you need to shape the scope and design of your project, and develop the roadmap to success.
Built-in project champion
Our qualified delivery managers not only keep our teams on track against the agreed SoW, they proactively tackle barriers, oversee back office operations, manage consultant wellbeing and nip performance management issues in the bud.
Typically, we receive 80% of our costs on the basis of time and materials (T&M), with the remaining 20% only paid on successful achievement of agreed deliverables, although fixed price payment models based on meeting milestones or overall outcomes are available too. Clients love the focus and accountability this gives our teams.
And when we asked some of our associates why they love working with Stellarmann, they agreed that the clarity and transparency around what's expected of them is a real motivator.
William Alexander Recruitment
Our sister company William Alexander was born in 2010 and has consistently been ranked as one of the most successful recruitment agencies in the country since then. They were placed in Recruiter Magazine's Hot100 for nine years, out of 40,000 agencies in the UK.
Their impressive reach includes the most in-demand contractors working in IT and business transformation today.
Pastoral care
Our delivery teams genuinely care about what's happening in our associates' lives, checking in regularly on their wellbeing and making sure they feel supported. This removes the need for time consuming line management by client-side project leaders.
Knowledge share
Being a consultant can be lonely. Our associates have an active community where they can meet up socially, network and learn about other people's experiences. This keeps their knowledge up to date and gives them an instant expert pool to ask questions of.
Seamless admin
Clients and associates dislike lengthy, bureaucratic processes that hold up start dates. Sometimes it can be enough to make one or the other walk away. Similarly, nothing is more guaranteed to pee off a team than late payment or complicated timesheet approval. Our excellent internal systems and processes make sure associates are not distracted by admin.

How we kick off your engagement
How we kick off your engagement
Whether you're reviewing your delivery partners, planning your next change programme or have an urgent need to build a team, here's how to get started with Stellarmann.
Discovery
Tell us what's causing you a headache. Can't find the specialist skills you need? Internal teams unable to accommodate transformation projects quickly enough? Existing consultancies churning staff and costing too much? Traditional recruitment processes too long and bureaucratic? IR35 policy hindering access to the best talent?
We'll then help shape your change agenda and the scope of services we can provide.
Design
We work with your legal and procurement teams to agree a Master Services Agreement (MSA). Draft Statements of Work (SoWs) are produced to shape the services and define outcomes and deliverables.
Delivery
In partnership with sister company William Alexander Recruitment, Stellarmann will build your bespoke team. We conduct all IR35 assessments and issue Status Determination Statements before onboarding is completed, including security checks, sorting IT hardware and system access.
Embed
Our Engagement Delivery Manager will conduct monthly or quarterly service reviews with you and report on performance against KPIs. They are responsible for reviewing and refining the SoWs and making sure your team is on course to achieve their deliverables. They also have regular one-to-ones with associates to check in on wellbeing, discuss any issues and uncover any risks.
