    LinkedIn Recruiter is better suited in terms of the filters it provides to search for a pool of candidates. Features like past and current companies, past universities, or years of experience, AI Search, and AI message drafting do wonders in terms of recruitment. But some more filters can be added, which will help further in recruitment. For example, Boolean search in job titles, targeting specific keywords in recent experience, etc.

    • The scheduler is my most favorite part of Recruiter. Super easy and organized to use.
    • It also can integrate with my applicant tracking system when and if I hire from LinkedIn Recruiter.
    • The fact that you can see an applicants full profile gives more information than just a resume when selecting candidates to interview.

    • For some reason, whenever I click "View in Recruiter" it takes me to the project summary screen instead of that candidate's profile in Recruiter
    • It would be nice if candidates got automatically moved to the appropriate stage when an action is taken (ie "Contacted" after sending them a message)

    This portals helps to source the profile directly from the LinkedIn where I don't need to check the resume and LinkedIn separately every time. LinkedIn Recruiter is the best platform for posting the job effortlessly. It requires only few details and we can get response quicker.

    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 Recruiter to manage and communicate with the candidates.

    • It's a must have for reaching passive candidates.
    • Love being able to identify candidates we may need in the future and saving them in a project.
    • It's difficult to cut through the noise using Inmails since everyone is using the tool.
