Stardex
The ATS and CRM that gets smarter with every search.
Stardex is an AI-native applicant tracking system and CRM designed for executive search and retained recruiting firms. It addresses the problem of a firm's candidate database and relationship history sitting unused in software, by applying AI to rank existing records against a new mandate, refresh work histories, and keep pipeline data current.
Core modules include AI Search for ranking candidates from the database with match reasoning, AI Agents (Dex) that capture calls, draft submission write-ups, tag candidates, and update pipelines, and Engagement for outreach sequences with tracked follow-ups and AI-personalized messages. The CRM combines BD and delivery, converting won deals into running searches, while Analytics provides dashboards and automated reporting. Stardex connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Manus, and Gemini via an MCP connector, with API access for Claude Code and Codex.
It is built for executive search, contingent, and retained recruiting firms of varying sizes. The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified. Packaging details such as plans, trials, or seat-based versus usage-based pricing are not specified on the provided pages.
