STARselect - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

We compared STARselect with the major recruitment platforms, and we haven't found another that does all of this in one place.

Every applicant is scored out of 100 against your role description, with the reason for each requirement. Then STARselect investigates the claims in each CV: what's specific, what's vague and what doesn't add up. It writes respectful STAR questions to test each one. We haven't found another tool that does this.

Many tools that do only some of these steps cost more.

STARselect is an applicant tracking system for recruitment agencies and employers, for any role in any industry, with 25+ years of recruitment experience built in. It drives every step, from the role description to the placement.

Applicant scoring: each must-have and nice-to-have is marked met, partly met or not shown, with the reason from the CV. Choose strict, balanced or relaxed scoring once for your whole workspace.

CV evidence check: works on a CV or a LinkedIn profile, and writes STAR questions to test the weak claims and the strong ones.

LinkedIn market maps: searches run on your own standard LinkedIn or LinkedIn Recruiter account. Everyone who fits the role is graded A, B or C with the evidence and ranked, in STARselect and in an Excel download, and you can see who's already been contacted, and when, before you reach out. Find more like the people you like, and message them from LinkedIn with every reply coming back to STARselect.

Pre-screens, interviews and references: send typed, spoken or video pre-screens, generate a STAR interview guide for each person in one click, send interview invitations from your own mailbox, and run fast, automated reference checks.

One document to send: the CV, the score, the evidence check and the pre-screen, combined into one document for whoever makes the hiring decision.

Research and Talk to me: Research finds people and projects on public web pages, with the source for every result. Talk to me answers questions about any candidate or vacancy, in plain words or by voice.

For agencies: find companies hiring now and build a relationship with them, and Market this candidate finds the jobs advertised now that suit a CV.

Reports: the funnel, time to place, who did what and every action, ready to export to Excel.

Browser extension for Chrome and Edge: right-click an applicant on a job board or in a browser-based ATS and they're scored on the page.

STARselect Check: score a single CV against a role description from A$2.50 a check, tax included, paid once, no subscription. Job seekers can improve their CV together with STARselect and get a free re-score.

Pricing: Professional is A$99 a month per person billed yearly, or A$109 billed monthly, before tax. Your first month of Professional is A$50 plus tax.
