Amsterdam, the Netherlands / Copenhagen, Denmark, 23rd May, 2024: Following their merger in September 2023, the global Candidate Experience leaders—Starred and Talenthub—announce their rebranding as Starred.com. This marks their transition into the next phase of their candidate-centric mission, as they evolve into the Hiring Experience Platform of the future, supporting talents and recruitment teams worldwide with high-quality Hiring Experiences.
Built on the Candidates’ Terms, with Top Employers in Mind
Starred.com builds on a legacy of advanced Candidate Experience Analytics, with feedback collected from millions of candidates and hundreds of the world’s top employers, including global giants such as Coca-Cola, Diageo, PwC, and Volvo. The launch of the Hiring Experience Platform signifies a full-circle moment for the company, reinforcing its commitment to making the experience of hiring and getting hired more enjoyable.
"The Starred.com Hiring Experience Platform is the culmination of years of dedication to putting candidates first. We're thrilled to introduce a platform that not only streamlines the recruitment process for companies but also ensures that candidates receive the attention and respect they deserve," says Daniel Birkholm, CEO of Starred.com.
Transparency is What Candidates Have Been Waiting For
Feedback from millions of job seekers around the world shows that candidates are dissatisfied with the current state of recruitment. Lack of transparency is among the top reasons for low candidate satisfaction, high drop-off rates, and low quality of hire.
Birkholm explains that Starred.com is here to change that: “We believe in transparency and giving candidates more control. That’s why our new Hiring Experience Platform gives companies all the tools they need to make sure their process is transparent, inclusive and efficient.”
This applies to all steps in the hiring journey, even when a candidate is unsuccessful: “At Starred.com, every application is transparent and every interview is a great experience. Thanks to our new job recommendation algorithm, even a rejection gets the candidate closer to their dream job, leaving every applicant happy and the company’s Employer Brand flourishing. It’s a win-win situation,” Birkholm elaborates.
Traditional Job Boards Are Dying
As Starred.com steps into the future, they invite companies and candidates to explore their new Hiring Experience Platform, including a beta version of their custom job recommendation algorithm.
“We don’t see ourselves as another job board, because we don’t believe that traditional job boards will survive. We’re already so well-connected to millions of hiring processes worldwide through our customer base. So our goal is to use these data points to facilitate high-quality matches between candidates and companies.”
Starred.com continues to provide companies with invaluable insights to fuel better decision-making, create internal alignment, and lead with empathy. Their new candidate engagement toolbox offers everything needed to deliver best-in-class Hiring Experience in one place:
