Testimonials

Matt Ocken

Kindred

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.

Captivate

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!

Al 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

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.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do recruiting agencies need an ATS?

Recruiting agencies need an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to streamline the hiring process, reduce administrative workload, and manage large volumes of candidates efficiently. An ATS centralizes all candidate data, making it easier to track applications, schedule interviews, and collaborate across teams. Without one, agencies risk losing qualified candidates, duplicating efforts, and slowing down placements.

How does an ATS help staffing companies?

An ATS helps staffing companies by automating repetitive tasks such as resume parsing, job posting, and candidate outreach. It ensures faster sourcing, better candidate matching, and seamless communication with both clients and candidates. For staffing firms that manage multiple roles at once, an ATS provides the visibility and efficiency needed to scale without sacrificing quality.

Can an ATS support collaborative hiring?

Yes, modern ATS platforms are built to support collaborative hiring. Recruiters, hiring managers, and clients can share notes, score candidates, and provide feedback in real time. This eliminates long email threads and miscommunication, while ensuring every stakeholder is aligned on candidate progress. Collaborative features improve transparency and speed up decision-making.

What features should I look for in an ATS platform?

When choosing an ATS, look for features that go beyond basic application tracking. Key capabilities include AI-powered candidate search, automated communication, CRM integration for managing client relationships, customizable workflows, real-time collaboration, and detailed analytics. The right ATS should adapt to your agency’s unique process while reducing manual work and boosting placement success.

How does an ATS for recruiting agencies differ from in-house solutions?

An ATS for recruiting agencies is designed for speed, scalability, and handling high volumes of candidates across multiple clients. Unlike in-house solutions, which focus mainly on one company’s hiring needs, agency ATS platforms support features such as client portals, retained search workflows, and revenue tracking. They also include more advanced sourcing tools to help agencies stay competitive in talent acquisition.
