Our verdict on Starred

Starred is a hiring intelligence platform for talent acquisition teams that need structured insight into candidate experience quality. It collects feedback through branded, stage-specific surveys across career pages, applications, phone screens, assessments, interviews, hiring, and onboarding. The product combines dashboards, candidate-experience benchmarks, AI-assisted feedback analysis, and a Career Page Widget for candidate feedback. It is best suited to organizations measuring and improving hiring experiences at scale rather than teams seeking a broader system for managing every part of the candidate journey.

The published Custom plan is tailored to team scale and maturity and includes ATS integration, an AI assistant and dashboards, and benchmarking against peers. Pricing uses a contact-sales model. Integrations include Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Lever, Workable, iCIMS, Teamtailor, Recruitee, Oracle Taleo, and Zapier, giving teams several ways to connect candidate feedback with existing recruiting workflows. ATS workflows automate survey invitations, while the API and webhooks support survey and feedback automation, including sending invitations, generating survey links, and receiving feedback notifications.

Starred’s strongest distinction is the depth of its measurement layer. Customizable branded survey designs and templates, AI feedback theme and sentiment analysis, a Priority Matrix, and industry, regional, and company-size benchmarking help teams move from collected responses to prioritized improvements. That focus also defines its boundary: the product improves candidate experience measurement rather than managing the wider candidate journey. Organizations that want stage-level feedback, comparative benchmarks, and workflow automation should consider Starred. Teams looking for a broader candidate-experience management suite may prefer a product with a wider operational scope.
