Alex Pike is the strongest match — P-Club at Okta, Dallas-based, and his Orbt process stalled on comp, not fit. Want me to add him to the Datadog shortlist?

Interviewed 4x at Orbt in late 2024. Positive feedback from the hiring team, especially on his pipeline discipline. Declined at final because the comp package was 15% below his target. Currently still at Okta but LinkedIn signals suggest hes open.

Testimonials

Matt Ocken

Kindred Partners

Over 20 years of searches at Kindred, we had accumulated a massive amount of proprietary information about our industry, clients and executives, but we weren’t able to leverage it. Since moving to Stardex, our team (20+ recruiters) is finally able to leverage all of that hard work. Now, by searching through both our proprietary data and tapping into outside sources, we’re able to quickly get to the right candidates and to understand the market. And of course, shortening the front end process lets us spend more time building relationships with our clients and candidates.

Mike Ferguson

ATRIZ

Stardex has totally changed the game for us. It’s fast, which is my favorite part, and it’s helped us clean up a lot of our internal processes by doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. The deal pipeline is great, the UI is smooth and not boring, reporting actually gives you reasons, and it only takes two clicks to add tasks and follow-ups. But honestly, the best part is the team. Sanket and Pranav made the implementation seamless and pretty much did everything for us. This is the first ATS/CRM we’ve used where the whole team is actually happy with it and not complaining, which says a lot.

Kendra Morales

Captivate Talent

Finally, a CRM and ATS solution that recruiters WANT to live in. The integrations are next level, and it is open enough that we automate against it across the entire search, from first client/candidate conversation through placement. It also did the thing I did not think was possible, which is get my team to stop going to LinkedIn first!

Kyle Caravelli

Fishercat Consulting

After looking at over half a dozen different technology solutions for our recruiting consulting practice, we recently decided to implement Stardex as our internal applicant tracking system and outbound sequencing tool. Not only is Stardex intuitive and effective, but its capabilities have set up our practice for long term scale and success in a profound way. The team is also great; they're extremely responsive and receptive and have been fantastic partners for us!

Nicki Lopes

Virtuosity Partners

We’ve loved using Stardex. The AI tagging in particular blew us away. It’s always challenging to find a tool that effectively helps recruiters manage a two-sided marketplace, but Stardex nails it!

Alan Stevenson

33eleven

Stardex is the single best recruiting platform I have ever used or tested. After nearly a decade with a legacy ATS, the impact of switching was felt by our team within the first week. The 15+ hours we once spent on admin tasks and data management are now spent doing what we’re actually here to do — recruiting great talent for our clients.

Juliette Lim

Omna Search

Stardex is by far one of the best and most intuitive ATS tools you can use today. Their chrome plugin is great, contact-finding features are top-in-class, and AI-powered capabilities are very forward-looking. Most importantly, their team is really on top of things - they are responsive, efficient, and just an overall joy to work with.

Dan Hampton

Mission One

If you're in recruiting, Stardex is absolutely a product you should be using. It's incredibly easy to incorporate into your workflow and we have found real time savings allowing us to complete our research many hours faster than before. Stardex is a true force multiplier that gives us increased bandwidth to take on additional clients so essentially it pays for itself.
