In general, magnets will stick to steel. There are many stainless alloy steels that are non-magnetic, however. Most stainless steels have a metallic crystal structure that gives them few or no magnetic properties.

Will an earth magnet stick to stainless steel?

There are no special types of magnetic field - the shape and strength of the field may vary, but the fundamental quality of the field is the same. The reason why stainless steel is not picked up by a magnet is that stainless steels are mostly not ferromagnetic, and therefore have no strong interaction with a magnetic field. Although paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials do interact with this field, it is very weak; nowhere near enough to lift the weight of the material.
