Stardex

What is Stardex?

Stardex is an AI-native applicant tracking system and CRM built for executive search firms to source candidates, manage pipelines, and track client relationships. It combines semantic search with background agents that automate administrative tasks like tagging and note-taking. Access requires booking a demo, as the vendor does not list self-serve sign-up.

What are the features of Stardex?

• Semantic candidate search

  Ranks existing database records against a job specification using natural language queries and displays match scores with reasoning for each candidate.
• Background automation agents

  Automatically capture calls, draft submission write-ups, tag candidates, update pipelines, and refresh candidate work histories without manual input.
• External AI connectivity (MCP connector)

  Connects the internal database to external tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Manus, and Gemini so recruiters can query records from those interfaces.
• Outreach sequences

  Automates multi-stage email campaigns with personalized lines generated per candidate from their record, while tracking opens, link clicks, and replies.
• Business development CRM

  Manages client deals, tracks fees by partner, and converts won business into active searches within the same system.
• Browser extension

  A Chrome extension surfaces relevant Stardex information on external websites and allows users to add people to the database in one click.
