Stardex is designed to be highly customizable, inspired by Salesforce’s data model. At it’s core, Stardex consists of persons, jobs and companies object. You can then add different custom attributes / fields to each of these. Think of custom attributes as elements that you want to store (e.g. current salary, location preferences, industry preferences, skills, etc).

You can also add custom attributes to a person itself (such that it shows up on all profiles), or you can add them to persons associated to a job (aka Candidates).

To add a custom field:

  1. scroll to the right and find the + icon on the header of the supported table (candidates, jobs, deals, client contacts, companies, list).

  1. Enter the field name, and a description. You can pick the data type (options - single choice, multi choice, text, number, data, team member). You are all set

For candidates / persons, you can add fields specific to a job, as well as use AI to auto tag.

  1. If you want the custom field just for the candidates in a job, make sure you goto the job pipeline, and keep the box “Only add this field for this job (not visible to other jobs)”
