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
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 stands above other platforms due to the personal touch, power filters, and overall training. Customer service is beyond any other tool on the market and allows the user to gain confidence and save time. With the addition of power filters, contact information and ease of …
Chose SeekOut
We chose this because it was a better option, but I now in theroy feel like this was a bad choice.Luxo was more dynamic and was able to passively connect with multiple outreaches, seek out was very basic
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) …
Chose SeekOut
We initially selected for its advertisement to search and find specific candidates that Johns Hopkins is hoping to obtain.
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
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.
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
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 …
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
I selected SeekOut for the comprehensive market research and the company comparison feature.
Chose SeekOut
In my opinion, Hired is not good. It has been collapsing and getting worse for years.
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 …

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.

Cons
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.

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
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
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.

Online Training
SeekOut
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.
