Product Update #9 - AI candidate suggestions, dark mode, company funding data

Are you ready to meet our newest AI model?

Last month, we added another engineer on our team, and spent last month improving some visual elements (welcome dark mode), as well as testing out our new home grown AI model - Dex! We're really excited about this one because it tackles one of the biggest time sinks in recruiting: finding similar candidates when you know you've got a good fit.

1. AI Suggestions: Our agent learns from your existing pipeline candidates to find similar profiles automatically. Instead of manually searching through your database wondering "who else is like this person?", Dex analyzes the candidates you've already identified as good fits in your pipeline and surfaces similar profiles within each job. The AI gets smarter as you refine job details, location, and company information. Why this approach? We've found AI is much better at learning from what's already working vs. trying to help you search from scratch.
   
   

   

   
   

2. Similar Profile Matching: Dex analyzes millions of profiles to identify individuals who closely match the current profile you're viewing. This integrates directly into your workflow. When you're reviewing a candidate, you'll see suggestions for similar people worth checking out. We're still testing this feature, so would love to get any early feedback from folks willing to try it out.
   
   

   

   
   

3. Bulk Email Enrichment: You can now use our contact agent to find bulk emails when you're ready to send outreach campaigns. A big time saver for folks who like to send emails in batches of 25-50 at a time. Just select your list and let our agent handle the email lookup instead of doing this one by one.
   
   

   

   
   

4. Premium Company Data + Bulk actions: For customers on our premium company data tier, you can now see in-depth funding history, investors, and headcount growth directly in Stardex without jumping between tools like Crunchbase. We've also added bulk actions on companies, so you can quickly update multiple company records or add them to lists in one go.
   
   

   

   
   

5. Dark Mode + Collapsible Sidebar: Easier on the eyes during those late-night sourcing sessions. We also have a collapsible sidebar now, so you can maximize your screen real estate when you need to focus on candidate details.
   
   

   

Quality of Life Improvements:

• Added a dedicated task calendar view.

• Added explicit "do not contact" lists (perfect for managing candidates who've asked not to be reached or clients with specific restrictions)

• You can now bulk upload CSVs of companies to quickly build your target lists

• Added “interview stage” setting for pipeline stages so you can set any custom stages that you want showing up in Upcoming Interviews

• Our filter system has been updated to exclude candidates who are already assigned to specific jobs (no more accidentally reaching out to someone twice!)

• Added contact data to cmd-k quick search so you can just quickly pull up someone’s profile based on email or phone number

If you're interested in switching to our system, I'd love to show you around.
