Considered Both Products
hireEZ
Chose hireEZ
I prefer SeekOut over hireEZ. Although hireEZ has a nice UI/UX available to the user I feel sometimes their data is not current and that they rely heavily on keyword searches and are not great for people who are really good with the Boolean type of searches. I recommend you try …
Chose hireEZ
hireEZ is very comparable to SeekOut, the interface has slightly more features, and the product support is more hands-on. They are both great tools. Linkedin Recruiter is overpriced, and overrated, especially if you are looking for applicants that traditionally do not have …
Chose hireEZ
Most of us use hireEZ as a last resort. The others are faster and more accurate.
Chose hireEZ
Hiretual is the quickest and best aggregator of social sites that I have worked with thus far. It is more comprehensive than LinkedIn Recruiter and has easier use than other aggregators that I have come across. It is a great net benefit for sourcing high-volume roles or unique …
SeekOut
Chose SeekOut
I have used hireEZ for about 2 weeks so far. I like that you can message candidates within the system, without having to email each candidate separately.
Chose SeekOut
It is easy to automate what used to be very manual processes. This allows us to move for efficiently and reserves bandwidth for us to be more intentional towards broadening our talent pools to be more
Chose SeekOut
We choose SeekOut for the Account Manager support and the opportunity to provide live, real feedback to the team.
Chose SeekOut
I did a demo and then a side-by-side trial - they didn't have near the results that SeekOut did.
Chose SeekOut
All products have their uniqueness and differentiation when it comes to features and navigation.
Chose SeekOut
I have used SeekOut and hire EZ(virtual) and find the SeekOut interface to be easier to use and the increased search filters and advanced boolean allow me to find more specific results faster compared to hire EZ.
Chose SeekOut
It does have better AI and Diversity tools. Not sure about the rest as we only had a trial period.
Chose SeekOut
I like SeekOut because I generally find more candidates in a timely manner.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut has superior search capabilities and a more intuitive UI. While we still provide access to other tools, SeekOut has become the standard as a primary tool.
Chose SeekOut
It is pretty much the same with the exception of seeking diverse candidates.
Chose SeekOut
The boolean search function and integration with my CRM, and ability to get contact information have been so amazing! I also think the accuracy of the results I get based on my boolean is the best using SeekOut.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut is easy to use and provides crucial contact info such as phone numbers and emails for candidates, as every recruiter is using Linkedin Recruiter to contact candidates right now in this crazy hiring market. It is easy to put on diversity filters. It has insights into …
Chose SeekOut
From what I have seen SeekOut is committed to making a good all-around product that is best suited for tech recruiting.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut is MUCH easier to use by far, so less time on training and more time to jump in and start searching.
Chose SeekOut
Haven't had a chance to use hireEZ (fka Hiretual) yet for my sourcing work, except for some free Boolean strings help it offers.

hireEZ is well suited to small to midsize companies in my experience. For companies with minimal budget they will negotiate better terms for a longer contract. You also control the number of seats you pay for and the type. It is basically a la carte pricing.

SeekOut
Diversity teams use this, and powerfilters are very helpful. When looking for volume, Seek out other terms to find relevant profiles well. For example, it might map other candidates with similar terms at the end of the pool search. Also, the bias reducer filter helps make sure there is less bias towards a hiring manager and the recruiters.

Pros
hireEZ
  • Talent sourcing aggregate (known by Hiretual as AI Sourcing).
  • Custom insights based on search criteria.
  • Contact information & social link retrieval.
  • Applicant Tracking System Integration -- At OnPoint we use Lever as our ATS. Hiretual allows us to export candidate data directly into our ATS and associate said candidates to a specific requisition, & in a specific stage.

SeekOut

Cons
hireEZ
  • I have come across many duplicate profiles that could cause me to contact the same person twice in a short period.
  • Doesn’t have an “undo” button for if I accidentally mark a candidate as “not a good fit”
  • Their “variables” used in creating email templates don’t function optimally. If you use “candidate last name”, and the person has a title, it will use the title instead of name. For example… I sent an email to a doctor and it sent as “Dr. MD”. Not ideal.

SeekOut
  • SeekOut needs better updates to the backend repository, LI. Several times, when pulled through, SeekOut pulled up LI profiles that were not up to date compared to when searched on LI directly.
  • It would be helpful to have better/more updated phone information. As noted in the previous screen, approx. 50% of phone contact information is spot-on, however capturing more up to date information for phone would be helpful.
  • Although picky, having different colors for screens to highlight areas would be helpful. Working late at night, which many times do, the screens are similar in color and brightness, and it would be beneficial to have more distinguishment in colors or brightness so as not to blend.

The benefits of a larger universe of candidates and automating recognition of talent we cannot hire, hireEZ has been a big time saver just as a sourcing tool

SeekOut
This platform tends to give you applicants who are not necessarily looking for new opportunities. I have had people be upset that I contacted them or sought them out on LinkedIn. This can be troublesome when the only thing I am trying to do is find qualified applicants. I need active people, who dont mind a cold call

Usability
hireEZ
The few times that I haven't been able to quickly figure out how to do something, I have emailed my support person and have gotten a response within a couple of hours. The system is very intuitive and if you have ever run online searches using Boolean techniques, Hiretual is very easy to understand (but you don't need to know Boolean to be successful with the tool).

SeekOut
Using SeekOut is very intuitive. Lots of multi-select boxes, toggle switches, and keyword boxes. If you have any experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, SeekOut is not a far jump in learning how to use it effectively. I will say that adding candidates to projects doesn't necessarily feel like an intuitive process after you've been redirected to LinkedIn to look at a candidate's profile

Support Rating
hireEZ
The support team is proactive with information, sharing changes or new features, conducting training, etc. It is not a pull scenario, as with other vendors, where I have to ask for what is going on. Instead, the hireEZ team is reaching out to us to follow up, provide information, etc. I love their proactiveness and desire for us to use the tool to its full potential!

SeekOut
We have not needed to get in touch with the support team during our time using SeekOut because someone else in our company takes care of that matter. Overall, we have been very satisfied with the ease of use and self-sufficiency of SeekOut and have not found the need to contact the support team.

We had an online tarining with all the recruiters. The trainer was very good, and enthusiast as well. He explained everything very detailed, showed how to search which kind of functions are in Seekout. He showed the program by using examples of search. We could ask questions at the end, and he told that we can contact him any time.

Once the licenses were purchased we were sent an email to activate our account. From there we had full access to the platform and a training was set up. Since I had used SeekOut previously I understood the dynamics of the platform and was able to use it instantly.

Alternatives Considered
hireEZ
Entelo is probably the closest competitor that stacks up against Hiretual head to head in my opinion, but the differentiator for us has been the relationship and the flexibility that the vendor provides us on top of the fact that the product itself continues to perform incredibly well as it continues to evolve along with my organization's needs. To have a seat at the table to offer up opinions or advice on how to improve the product over time is invaluable. Additionally, the AI-powered version of Hiretual is much more powerful than Entelo's product.

SeekOut
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.

Return on Investment
hireEZ
  • It's made me a better recruiter, and frankly, I used to not love sourcing, now it seems fascinating to me! This tool provides so much data, you can play with the criteria until you land on a profile that you want to look for. When done with a specific search line, you can move on to add other elements, skills, nice to haves, diversity aspects. It's truly an exciting tool in our arsenal as recruiters to present solid candidates but also a better hiring manager experience. The data it provides is great.
