Jackson McGowan (ID: 000000331a6cc559) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 As a seasoned recruiter constantly on the lookout for exceptional talent, my workflow was completely revolutionized when I discovered the Solostar Chrome extension. This ingenious tool has single-handedly elevated my LinkedIn Recruiter experience to an unprecedented level of efficiency and precision. From the moment I integrated Solostar into my browser, it became apparent that this extension was designed with recruiters and sourcers in mind. The seamless installation process and intuitive interface allowed me to get started without any hassle. Solostar has been so helpful in identifying candidates that come from colleges I have never heard of but I feel confident engaging with them because of the tiles marking their college with top tier or elite. Solostar has made me a better recruiter and I feel more confident in my role because of the tool. I believe Solostar is an essential companion for anyone committed to recruiting/sourcing top-tier candidates.

Paul Werner (ID: 0000000a4fadab40) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2023 This extension is amazing. It makes sourcing and identifying diverse candidates a breeze and is the best Diversity Sourcing tool on the market. I have used Seekout and Entello, but what I like best about Solostar is that this works hand in hand with LinkedIn, and yields me better, more qualified candidates in my results. I highly recommend this to any Sourcer/Recruiter.
