Recruitment
Just like the bright star we’re named after, Altair is about shining a light and guiding the way - helping someone land their next opportunity or supporting a business in finding their next superstar. We connect great people with great businesses!
At Altair, we go beyond filling roles - we uncover the people who drive real results. With access to a deeply specialised pool of both active and inactive talent across Australia, we bring unique insight into where the best people are and where they’re headed next. From Ecommerce and digital to sales, operations, and everything in between, we help ambitious brands scale with talent that fits, fast.
Recruitment isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about seeing potential others might overlook, tuning into culture and capability, and building high-performing teams that align with your growth. We don’t just match skills; we match people, purpose, and potential.
By being proactive, not reactive, we help clients stay ahead of their hiring curve. That means stronger teams, smarter decisions, and better brand performance. It’s no surprise that over 50% of our clients return.
We help ecommerce brands grow faster by finding the right people—quicker, smarter, and with more precision than traditional recruiters.
We don’t rely on job boards or luck. We tap into a specialist network of both active and passive talent, built over years of hands-on industry experience.
By tuning into your brand’s culture and goals, we uncover standout candidates others miss—and match on potential, not just keywords. Whether you’re scaling fast or filling a highly specific role, we bring clarity, insight, and a commitment to never giving up until we find the right fit.
We help great people land great roles—faster, smarter, and with the kind of care most recruiters overlook.
Whether you’re actively job hunting or just open to the right opportunity, we take the time to understand your goals, strengths, and what truly motivates you. We go beyond the resume to match you with roles that fit your values, skillset, and future ambitions—because the right move can change everything.
About Altair
Hi, I’m Yuliya Whiston - founder of Altair Recruitment.
Before I stepped into recruitment over five years ago, I built my career hands-on working in sales and ecommerce roles across the travel industry, including startups.
I’ve been in the shoes of the candidates I now represent, and I understand what growing brands really need because I’ve lived it. After almost 10 years in Ecommerce, I made the leap into recruitment. I’ve been lucky to work with some incredible brands in the past, like Lorna Jane, Accent Group, Baby Bunting, and Domino’s, placing high-performing talent across eComm, digital, and ops.
I started Altair to offer a more personalised, no-fluff approach to recruitment. I’m known for going the extra mile, sticking with even the trickiest briefs, and spotting potential where others don’t. My focus is on finding people who not only fit the role but also fuel long-term growth - with culture, capability, and future in mind.
When I’m not recruiting, I’m probably juggling a coffee (or two), tweaking a spreadsheet, and sliding into someone’s inbox with “I think you’re going to love this role…” Let’s just say, I don’t switch off easily — but that’s part of the magic. If you’re scaling, hiring, or just not sure where to start — I’m here to help.
