Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

All you need is a job description. Within 24 hours, you'll receive profiles for review. For most roles, hiring managers start seeing screened candidates on the dashboard within 72 hours.

How do you find candidates?

Rockstar employs both inbound and outbound strategies, reaching between 250-500 unique candidates per week. Outbound outreach emails are personalized to increase engagement.

What’s the screening process like?

Before reaching you, each candidate completes a 10-15 minute call with a Rockstar Talent Associate to verify background, experience, communication skills, and other key traits. Our focus is to present candidates who meet your role’s primary requirements.

How extensive is your screening?

We prioritize sourcing your ideal candidates, screening for major qualifications and providing transparency on profiles. You get a clear view of each candidate’s fit, helping you make informed decisions about how to proceed.

Do you integrate with ATS systems?

Yes! For smaller companies, an ATS can be beneficial for driving inbound applicants. We support integrations with popular ATS platforms like JazzHR, Workable, and Ashby.

Is Rockstar just a software tool or will I work with a recruiter?

No, Rockstar is a hybrid solution. You’ll work with human recruiters who review every candidate alongside our AI, ensuring quality and consistency throughout the process.
