LinkedIN Recruiter is a hiring platform for talent professionals that helps find, connect with, and manage the people you want to hire.
I absolutely hated using Beamery and find it to be a waste of my organization's money. Why use something that's purely a messaging tool/CRM when you can use something like SeekOut which has SO much more additional functionality?
Additionally, I prefer SeekOut even to the premier …
In our experience, SeekOut has consistently provided a greater number of search results compared to Linkedin Recruiter. The platform's powerful search algorithms and customized filters make it easy to quickly identify a large pool of highly qualified candidates. This has been …
SeekOut lets you focus on diversity and specific skillsets more than Linkedin Recruiter. Linkedin Recruiter has a more basic view of candidates and doesn't let you target how long they've been in a specific position - only overall years of experience. SeekOut let's you target …
Linkedin Recruiter has access to candidates' most updated information and additional features that indicate candidates' likelihood of responding to an outreach. There is also the option to send bulk outreach messages and other useful organizational features in the Project …
Linkedin Recruiter is great but I think SeekOut does a better job at allowing the filters to be applied better - more options to do free text vs typing in filters one by one. I also like that SeekOut shares the contact info. I strongly prefer beign able to send an email over …
SeekOut is a lot easier to pull TAM data and diverse candidates.

Chose SeekOut
Reducing our sourcing time is where Seekout has made the most significant difference for us. Not only do we save time by making searches easier, but also in the quality of the results we get from each search. Less time sourcing and reaching out (with Seekout's email sequencing) …
LinkedIn does not offer diversity filters for sourcing and it crashes quite frequently. SeekOut does offer these filters and is almost always functional and responsive.
I used Eightfold AI back in 2016-2018 and it was pretty good. I would say SeekOut is just as good, but I liked the ATS integration that Eightfold AI provided. Not sure if SeekOut has that, but would be a great addition if they do not yet have it.
We selected SeekOut as an extra level of sourcing and the intention was not to use LI anymore. They do not stack up because we are able to DM candidates, or they can message us asking questions, set up screens, send resumes, etc. You can not do that on SeekOut.
In my opinion, Hired is not good. It has been collapsing and getting worse for years.

Chose SeekOut
More accessible and detailed information already in the search platform; AI-based details such as which skills are actually the most relevant based on a comprehensive read of the profile.
Gem, in my opinion, is an even better tool than SeekOut as it offers more capabilities. Gem lets you see the latest activities in relation to a candidate (messages, responses, etc.). SeekOut does not allow you to store information so you need to store the information related to …
SeekOut's boolean filters are better but SeekOut primarily runs as a support to LinkedIn Recruiter. Meaning that even if I find someone on SeekOut I still use LinkedIn Recruiter to outreach and track that candidate.
I use both Linkedin Recruiter and SeekOut. I start my candidate search with Linkedin Recruiter due to its ease of use, high candidate yield, and integration with Linkedin for the sake of contacting candidates.
SeekOut has a diversity filter, which I like. They also list some candidates that are not on LinkedIn, but ultimately SeekOut routes me to LinkedIn. So technically SeekOut allows me to screen for filters that LinkedIn does not, but I actually end up using LinkedIn recruit to …
LinkedIn Recruiter has the largest reach globally. I mean, if you're not on LinkedIn, do you even exist? ;) It is the only real game in town for one-stop-shopping for candidates. The service is premium, and so is the price. However, there is nothing that I'm aware of in the …
LinkedIn is the #1 source of profiles. It has the most, and a lot of other sourcing sites are based around the frameworks of LinkedIn, or bring you directly to their profiles.
