As you close searches with Stardex, you'll often want to mark candidates and client companies as off-limits for future email campaigns. Stardex lets you do this manually at any time, automatically when you create searches or log placements, and it enforces these blocks everywhere outreach happens — including the Chrome extension.

Marking records manually

You can mark DNC at both the candidate and client company level.

• Candidate: On a candidate's profile, click Actions → Mark as Do Not Contact.

  

• Client company: On a client company's detail view, click Actions → Mark as Do Not Contact.

  

When marking, you can optionally add a reason and set an expiration date (more on expirations below).

How DNC blocks outreach

Once a record is marked, Stardex blocks outreach in every channel:

• Bulk and single enrollment are blocked for any DNC candidate.
• Company-level DNC blocks anyone whose current company is marked, even if the person isn't individually flagged.
• The Chrome extension respects these blocks too — you'll see a warning when trying to enroll a blocked candidate.
• Marking an existing candidate as DNC will cancel their active campaign enrollments (you'll see a warning showing which campaigns are affected before you confirm).

Expirations

Every DNC can either expire or stay permanent:

• Set number of days — the DNC automatically lifts after the chosen number of days (default is 90).
• Indefinite (forever) — no expiration is set; the record stays DNC until someone manually removes it.
