Product Update #15
Feb 6, 2026
A big focus for us this year is helping firms capture the context that usually lives in people's heads - the decision traces, notes, and search insights that never make it back into the ATS. With that in mind, we took some time in January to launch two of our most requested features - our own notetaker and a calendar integration - which unlocks the ability to automate ATS / CRM updates, and build your own firm knowledge base.
Stardex Notetaker
Our built-in notetaker records and logs notes directly to the candidate or company profile. You can also define a summary template for it to automatically create a summary in your voice. We are providing this for free to all users for the first month, and it's super easy to turn it on. If you already have a notetaker you love, no worries - we still support integrations with most major notetakers.
Calendar Integration
You can now see all your meetings from your calendar and team calendars directly on activity timelines. No more switching between apps to figure out when the next interview is. You can also schedule an interview from Stardex itself, and attach a resume link to the description.
Similar Searches
We have added a fourth research agent that shows similar searches when you open up a new deal or job. This is very useful for team members to build context on past searches and establish credibility in pitch meetings, as well as for initial research calibration to find what types of candidates got further along.
CRM Improvements
You can now mark deals as Won or Lost and capture a loss reason directly on the pipeline board. There is also a chart to track time in stage.
Meeting-Based Automations
This one's a nice time saver. When a candidate books a meeting, you can automatically stop them from a sequence so they're not getting outreach emails after they've already responded . You can also set up other triggers based on meeting activity to keep your pipeline moving without manual work.
Quality of Life:
We added next and previous arrows in the candidate detail view to easily jump backwards and forwards through your pipeline while staying in the flow.
New Zapier triggers for candidate stage changes and custom field values - makes it way easier to automate alerts and sync data with other tools
Smarter resume ingestion from email attachments - Stardex now automatically extracts contact details from incoming CVs
Archived pipeline stages so your views stay clean
Bulk auto tagging when a new custom field is added to jobs
Expanded campaign stage types for more flexibility in outreach workflows - Supports task types as LinkedIn messages, connection requests, and calls. You can then filter your task list by the task type so you can really quickly knock out all of your LinkedIn connection requests, for example!
Add CC + attachments in the Stardex email sender: emails sent through Stardex from the candidate profile now support CC and attachments so you can move faster without jumping back to your inbox.
