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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
