Business Problems Solved
Entelo's platform has been widely used by recruiters in the Talent Acquisition department to effectively source and connect with qualified candidates. By leveraging the platform's multiple filters, recruiters have been able to narrow down their search and find candidates who meet their specific requirements. The platform provides comprehensive profiles, including contact information such as email addresses, allowing recruiters to directly communicate with candidates.
One of the key use cases of Entelo is its ability to track candidate engagement through email communication. Recruiters can send emails to candidates and monitor when they open the emails and click on links, providing valuable insights into the effectiveness of their messaging. This tracking mechanism ensures that recruiters have visibility into the engagement of their emails, ensuring that important messages are not overlooked.
Moreover, Entelo enables recruiters to streamline their workflow by creating templates and scheduling follow-up emails based on the candidate's role and position. This feature allows recruiters to save time and maintain consistency in their communication with candidates.
Entelo is particularly useful for sourcing technical roles, such as engineering and development positions. It serves as an alternative to LinkedIn Recruiter, providing recruiters with a reliable solution to uncover talent for specific roles that may not be found otherwise. Recruiters use Entelo as a primary search tool, with data verified against LinkedIn as a secondary source.
Overall, recruiters recommend Entelo for its effectiveness in streamlining the recruiting process and reaching sourcing goals. Its advanced filtering capabilities, direct communication features, tracking mechanisms, and suitability for technical roles make it a valuable tool for talent acquisition teams seeking top-quality candidates.
I use Entelo for recruiting purposes. I am a Technical Sourcer which means I find all passive talent for any open roles I am working on. Entelo helps find and filter talent based on the exact keywords I am looking for to help narrow down my search to the perfect candidate(s).
Pros
Ease of use
Filters
Diversity
Cons
Accuracy
More filters
Extension not always working
Likelihood to Recommend
Entelo is well suited for trying to find candidates in a search. I also use it for obtaining candidate information such as phone numbers or emails, which are imperative for contacting and engaging new talent. It would be less appropriate perhaps if you already had an internal candidate in mind for the role.

I have been using Entelo as a sourcing tool for some time and have had some good success, as well as others within my organization. We are able to send mass e-mails which is great for events, but also able to drill down for hard to fill roles, diversity candidates, etc.
Pros
Search specifically for diverse candidates.
Good Reporting
Pulls in many candidates, profiles and tons that are not on LinkedIn.
Cons
Improve industry specificity
Parse H1 type candidates if/when needed (for Defense Specifically)
Better Reporting
Likelihood to Recommend
Entelo is a solid offering for something more than LinkedIn. One of the best tools that aggregate all profiles/info for candidates on the web.
Entelo is being used by our Recruiting team. We use this tool to help us source and reach out to passive candidates to get a dialog going. I currently have multiple templates saved based on the role as well as specific follow up emails scheduled based on the candidate and role.
Pros
Locating Email Addresses. This is a great tool because sending an email to a passive candidate instead of a LinkedIn message is so much more powerful and has a better response rate.
Helping with verbiage to get a higher response rate. I liked when they made this update to templates because it really opened my eyes to how my templates previously favored language to me and not to the candidate.
Giving snapshot into candidate background and their chance of moving. I like that you can see the tenure and information about their current company while on the profile page. I like being able to see the turnover rate of companies as well.
Cons
Once an email is found, send out the email. I wish that once entelo locates the email, it would just automatically send the template I requested. This would streamline my communication.
Letting me see the responses in the system. Right now it just says "Candidate replied" but if I was not the original one to receive the email I have no clue if the candidate said to reach back out or to fully leave them alone. A little insight would allow me to more knowledgeably reach out to candidates I have talked to in the past.
Templates easier to find. It took me weeks and a call with my account manager to figure out where to edit my templates. They are hidden within another section that doesnt seem logical.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for reaching out to passive candidates and standing out instead of using LI. Candidates are used to receiving the same messages in the same format and by using this tool we have the chance to mix it up and try and stand out from our competition. Entelo has been an awesome addition to my toolbox.
Entelo is being used by our recruiting team as a sourcing tool to engage with candidates for open positions. We use it instead of LinkedIn's recruiter seat.
Pros
It pulls resumes from multiple platforms
It finds email addresses quickly when requested
Integrates well with LinkedIn
Cons
The messages send and received aren't housed in the system. Difficult to keep track of what has been said without having to go back to your email inbox.
Sometimes the full sequence is sent, even when somebody replies stating they aren't interested.

I've been using Entelo for the past year and it has been very helpful when it comes to reaching my sourcing goals. I primarily recruit for technical roles in engineering and computing as well as some bioinformatics roles. These roles include software engineers, system administrators, UX designers, and project managers. What Entelo does is aggregate all relevant web information for a candidate into a profile that you can view. These aggregated profiles can include their LinkedIn, job board profiles, personal websites or social media accounts. There is also the Entelo browser extension that when viewing LinkedIn, help you find the email addresses of your sourced candidates. My main usage comes from the tool Envoy which allows you to choose a role and what skillset this candidate should have. Envoy will help source different profiles based on your input and contact them for you in batch emails. You can also view the Reports tab to see what your reply/open rates look like and their Track tab to schedule emails to candidates. Overall, I'd recommend it to other recruiters.
Pros
Finding candidate email addresses as well as alternative email addresses
Aggregating candidate profiles such as their LinkedIn, personal website and social media accounts
Automating the sourcing portion by using selected skillset and experience parameters
Cons
Ability to edit profiles - some profiles will for example list First Name Last Initial, if we know the candidate's full name, we can edit this portion for them
Duplicate profiles for the same candidate, there should be a way to merge duplicates to create one consistent profile
Sometimes Envoy will populate your batches with candidates you've reached out to before for other roles so maybe a way to turn that off would be useful
Likelihood to Recommend
Most suited: When sourcing for multiple roles and need some extra help finding candidates.
Least suited: If you already have a controlled pipeline and don't need more candidates.

We use Entelo in our Recruiting/Talent Acquisition department. Entelo's platforms helps with sourcing efforts in finding qualified candidates with the use of multiple filters. In addition, Entelo provides contact info i.e Email addresses for profiles you view. I have found really good success when contacting a candidate through their personal email address. If contact info is not available, you can request info and Entelo's algorithm will try to obtain an email address. In addition, you have the ability to send a candidate an email via the platform. Any email you sent is recorded in the candidate profile, and you can actually see when a candidate opens the email and clicks on any link in that particular email. As a recruiter, you feel like your email isn't just lost into a black hole. I really love the tracking mechanism of Entelo and wish Linkedin would incorporate something similar.
Pros
Entelo provides accurate candidate contact info. Many of the profiles I have sourced via the platform have had the correct email address and my emails were able to reach the prospective candidate. This really helps recruiting efforts. Most candidates in this day and age constantly check their personal email. Engineers in particular are a hard group to reach and just sending an InMail isn't always the best route. Entelo really helps in recruiting for engineers by helping to provide their personal contact details.
Entelo's tracking feature is a great strength. Any email you send to candidates on the platform, you can track accordingly. I get a notification when the candidate opens my email, clicks on link in the email, and when they reply. The notifications don't just come through the Entelo platform but you get an email as well so you're up to date.
Entelo search is another great feature. You can search for candidates by entering skill, position, company name etc. There's even a diversity filter! Really great search criteria that helps you hone in on your ideal candidates. This is really useful for hard to fill technical positions.
Cons
Although, Entelo does a great job in providing contact info, the room for improvement is if they can find more contact info for global candidates. For US candidates, the platform does a great job in finding email addresses. For candidates based in EMEA, sometimes the platform has a hard time obtaining email addresses.
Entelo's envoy feature didn't work the best for me. The feature uses AI and predictive analytics to find the best candidates for your open positions and then reaches out automatically to them with the template you create. My issue was the profiles that it reached out to weren't the best fits for my technical positions. I think this feature needs some fine tuning.
I think the reporting feature of Entelo could improve. Right now you can't create customizable reports and sometimes the reports you want to export can take awhile to download.
Likelihood to Recommend
Entelo is well suited for those in recruiting who want to improve their sourcing efforts. If you are trying to recruit for engineers or highly technical positions, Entelo's platform will help you find good candidates that you can contact directly through their personal email addresses. If you are a recruiting coordinator, Entelo is an easy to use platform and would be a good starting point into the world of recruiting. If you are recruiting heavily on positions outside of the US, Entelo might not be able to help you obtain candidate info and in that case you would want to perhaps send an InMail.
The idea of Entelo was exciting for us as we were looking at an alternative to Linkedin. They told us that it would have candidates that weren't on Linkedin and this was exciting because we felt it would expand our talent pool. It was disappointing that we never found a candidate on Entelo that wasn't on Linkedin and many of the candidates on Linkedin weren't found by Entelo.
Pros
Source candidates from many different sites
Be able to focus on candidates to help diversity recruiting
Ability to see the skills or competencies engineers had
Cons
Ability to bulk email candidates using templated forms. They wanted to have each reach out be individual but found it wasn't effective.
Build a more comprehensive database of candidates
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited:
If you are looking for a sourcing solution outside of Linkedin.
If you are looking to focus your sourcing team on diversity recruiting.
If you are looking to automate parts of your outreach process.
We use Entelo at our company to help source for hard to reach candidates, mainly in the software engineering organization. Currently we only have one recruiter seat and I am the primary user. We do the majority of our sourcing through LinkedIn and then use Entelo to find direct emails for applicants and also report on how effective those email reach outs are.
Pros
Great for finding emails for software engineering candidates.
Great sourcing tool for finding diversity candidates.
The reports provided about how emails are doing are useful.
It's also a great way to automate reach outs (it sends a follow up if candidate does not respond).
Cons
Sourcing through Entelo's candidate database is more limited than looking for candidates on LinkedIn.
Sometimes profiles are stale on Entelo's database so I would have to look elsewhere to find the updated information.
The database is not a great source for non engineering profiles.
Likelihood to Recommend
I really like using Entelo. I think it is a great tool for reaching out to candidates directly compared to other types of tools. I think it is a great place to source for diversity candidates.
Their database is primarily focused on engineering type candidates so it is not as useful for non tech candidates.
I currently use Entelo to source and reach out to passive candidates. I'm using this mostly for our technical/engineering hires but I do also leverage the email reach outs for business roles as well. We're using this currently in recruiting but I do leverage this platform to create review lists for our hiring managers. This is a great way to message and track emails, which is great in regards to the fact that LinkedIn messages are less effective as they were a few years back.
Pros
Sourcing passive candidate
Emailing candidates directly and setting up drip email campaigns
Provide data and analytics on response rates for outbound candidate communication
Ease of use when it comes to navagating candidate profiles, inclusing parsing profiles directly in Applicant Tracking systems (ATS)
Cons
It's a little expensive
You have a limited number of outbound emails and profile downloads
Sometimes it can take a bit of time for Entelo to give you additional information requests.

Entelo is a great tool for both large and small recruiting teams. I use this with Linkedin Recruiter Light which is nice because I do most of my sourcing through the platform but can toggle between Entelo and LinkedIn. I like to leverage the Entelo Chrome extension so I can go straight to Entelo via a tab on the Linkedin UI. Entelo is less effective if you are not going to be actively souring candidates.
I use Entelo to find the email address and contact candidates who seem viable for my open jobs. Unlike LInkedIn Recruiter, Entelo lets you contact people directly, not through a platform and they find current e-mail addresses. They enable me to create templates with attachments to send to candidates and also recommend when the best time to send the e-mail would be.
Pros
Finding e-mail addresses of candidates quickly.
Determines the best time for me to send my e-mail.
Making it easy to send e-mails by letting me save templates.
Letting me see who I've already contacted.
Cons
I think that Entelo needs a stronger "reach" when it comes to Indeed resumes. I find it very hard to contact Indeed candidates.
If I've scheduled a future e-mail to be sent, I would like Entelo to indicate that they're contacted, even if the contact is pending.
Letting me take back an e-mail that will be sent would be nice.
Letting me know if I'm sending multiple emails.
Likelihood to Recommend
Very well suited for sourcing for candidates who get a lot of contacts through LInkedIn and who are professional, like developers and more seasoned professionals. Not as suitable for junior candidates who don't have a huge social media presence because they don't have a lot of e-mails out there to be found.
