Company mission
To help candidates and hiring teams across the globe to have a voice.
Our take
Competition for the top talent is intense, but recruitment processes often have shortfalls that can cause otherwise excellent candidates to become disengaged - outdated interview practices, delays in processing applications, or demoralised hiring teams to name just a few. Starred exists to solve these issues and more, providing an end-to-end platform that collects feedback from candidates and hiring managers and provides actionable insights to allow companies to improve their candidate experience.
HRTech is a booming industry worth more than $30 billion, and Starred is not alone in wanting a slice of this pie, with numerous candidate and hiring manager portals in existence aiming to make talent acquisition smoother. However, Starred's product stands out with the clarity of its insights, supported by intensive and regular benchmarking, and with its tools for managing the hiring team's experience, a piece of the puzzle that often gets missed by competitors.
Starred has attracted a large and growing customer base of major household brands, including the likes of Coca-Cola, Diageo and Elastic. Its challenge in the coming years will be to stay ahead of the market, but with steadily growing revenue and a product with a strong reputation for effectiveness, it is well poised to achieve this.
