Considered Both Products
SeekOut
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut is probably our 2nd most valuable candidate search tool.
Chose SeekOut
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 …
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut is just below LinkedIn Recruiter - if messaging were more accessible, I would rank at the level of LIR.
Chose SeekOut
While I have not evaluated any other products similar to SeekOut, I am aware Hireology, Entelo, GEM, and others. We have not gone down the path to review these as for now SekOut has covered most of objectives needed. The information provided for both email and phone, along …
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut is a lot easier to pull TAM data and diverse candidates.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut does a better job of finding emails and lists for me than Eightfold AI.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut proved more user friendly with less clicks to get to what you're looking for. Additionally, it gave us the ability to find great talent that had previously applied but never reviewed.
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
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.
Chose 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.
Chose SeekOut
I have not used anything else like it.
Chose SeekOut
In my opinion, Hired is not good. It has been collapsing and getting worse for years.
Chose SeekOut
I selected SeekOut for the comprehensive market research and the company comparison feature.
Chose SeekOut
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 …
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.
Chose SeekOut
It is an excellent resource for finding top candidates by being able to tap into numerous search engines at one time.
Chose SeekOut
Gives you more informational data on how to find targeted candidates with the ability to find contact information
Chose SeekOut
Better than most sites I have used.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut is the most comprehensive candidate tool with contact management information. It also provides the greatest seach capabilities and functionality to divide/segment the marketplace, to complete a search.
Chose SeekOut
SeekOut unlike others, has been able to match candidates to the needs of the hard to fill roles in a very simple and friendly way, highlighting the skill set, location and key words used.
Chose SeekOut
LinkedIn Recruiter is industry standard; GDPR compliant, with strong presence in global markets.
Chose SeekOut
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 …

User Testimonials
SeekOutSourceWhale
Likelihood to Recommend
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
  • SeekOut highlights diverse talent well. I love that I can filter to view Women in Technology, for example.
  • The platform's UI is easy to use and the integration with LinkedIn is superb.
  • The ability to run messaging campaigns in a quick and easy format saves both time and effort.

Cons
  • Geographical location search (ex: having the filter be 50 miles radius and we are getting candidates in other countries)
  • Not one candidate has been hired in our company using SeekOut
  • Other than providing diversity filters, they do not have set ethnicities for the tech industries like other AI companies do

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
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
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.

Online Training
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.

Implementation Rating
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.
