(1-25 of 44)Strong product offering for Recruiting
- Finding candidates
- AI tools
- ATS Integration
- Contact data for candidates.
- e-mail addresses for candidate
- phone numbers for candidates
SeekOut review
- Provides email addresses for most individuals that are correct.
- Provides phone numbers for most individuals that are 50% or better correct.
- Helps to identify diversity groups, such as female candidate.
- 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.
I like SeekOut!
- Targeted sourcing using key search words
- Contact info like email and phone helps me connect with them fast
- Talent insights help with understanding how diverse or otherwise the market has to offer for a particular profile
- Not targeted sourcing
- more accurate contact info for mobile #s
- Become more user friendly by not always having to scroll down from the top of the page every time I review an application and then get out to the main page
SeekOut More than just a Play on Words
- Skill Matching is spot on precise
- SeekOut gives me more than one way to contact a candidate
- SeekOut helps to foster a discussion before your competion does
- I would like to see more phone numbers (work and mobile)
- I think a more robust referral piece would be great on the platform
- A more flexible license model
Great tool to access untapped talent.
- It is customized with boolean search and allows users to merge the keywords with advanced features to get best results.
- With complex keywords, it searches till best possible outcomes by utilizing powerful filters.
- It’s basic features is to find the best capable candidates, it sends users personalized messages through email.
- I have checked and found, sometimes filters are not the best and it shows profiles that you are not looking for.
- Sometimes I find candidates I have reviewed disappear from the pipeline.
- Gathering contact information like email or phone number.
SeekOut Review

SeekOut not recommended for Japan Market
- Filetering
- Collecting personal information
- Easy to use UI
- Customer Success/Support
- Collecting personal information on side of the U.S is weak
- Would be nice to have more accurate suggestion
- Need to have Project function where we can share with others search better
- Able to review candidates profile on same UI/Page is very important to have
-Hard to get personal information
-For Japan needed to expand search and not narrow the search as not enough candidates and so was not so useful
-Filter ability was not too bad
-Not able to see candidate profile on the same UI/Page was not useful
-Not able to see candidate profile on Linkedin Recruiter mode was negative as sometimes I did not want to leave the footsteps/history the I have reviewed certain candidates
-Overall Seekout did not really help with my need for search
honest SeekOut review
- easy to use
- bias feature
- filter options
- industry options
- messaging candidate directly
- cross check emails to see if they actually are valid so they don't bounce back
- accuracy on the data that its scraping from the internet
Geek out for SeekOut
- Provides a large selection of candidates
- Can narrow down by location
- Shows sourcing activity
- Add email & phone number when exporting candidates from a project
A SeekOut Search in the hand is worth two in the bush
- Supports our ability to drill down and find candidates to fill our technology roles.
- Provides us the opportunity to contact the candidate using email, phone and/or text messaging.
- People Insights provides opportunities to share information about the market with our hiring managers and business partners. By location, job titles and diversity tags
- Multiple clicks to get from SeekOut to LI profile to LI Recruiter profile.
I don't have any scenarios where SeekOut was less appropriate.
A great platform for seeking top talent.
- DEI recruitment.
- Market analysis.
- Boolean search capability.
- Candidate sorting.
- Filtering by location does not always provide accurate results.
- Email addresses and phone numbers can often be out of date.
If you have the budget, SeekOut is the way to go
- Identify diverse candidate pools
- Conduct robust searches
- Provide information about the candidates enabling TA professionals to connect with candidates
- Cost
It's a game changer in sourcing candidates!
- Ease of use and ability to learn the product quickly.
- Response of support from SeekOut in training.
- Capabilities of the product (ie projects, messaging, etc.)
- Ability to verify emails and telephone numbers.
Easy and Efficient way to Seek Out Talent from ALL demographics
- Filtering demographics for diversity sourcing
- Graphs and charts for sourcing information
- AI matching for smart and efficient sourcing
- SeekOut's preview information for linkedin candidates is often 2-3 months behind.
- Enabling a more expansive preview of candidate's profile
Love this tool!
- DE&I metrics
- Providing insights around certain criteria
- Access to profiles that I can't access on other platforms
- Data output - making sure that locations don't come up twice in the "people insights"
- When accessing profiles, going straight from seekout to LinkedIn Recruiter instead of their public profile
- Fixing profiles that are available on SeekOut but the link is broken on linkedin
- When we're looking for general insights around talent pool by location, skillset, keywords, etc
- When exploring diversity metrics for roles and trying to find diverse talent
Less
- User experience can be a little clunky with having to click on candidate profiles and then having to navigate to their public profile before navigating again to LinkedIn recruiter - it's a lot of clicking when doing mass sourcing
SeekingOut a new sourcing too!
- Obtaining personal email addresses
- Acquiring missing phone numbers
- Diversity recruiting
- Additional affinity groups for diversity topics
- Added filters for early talent recruiting
- More frequent data refreshes
SeekOut Outperforms
- SeekOut also allows me to filter and search for candidates both within my applicant tracking system and outside of it.
- SeekOut aggregated candidate data from multiple sources online including LinkedIn, Github, other sources
- SeekOut provides candidate contact info that can be hard to find.
- SeekOut integrates with our ATS well except for not pulling most recent candidate engagement. This means you have to dig to determine whether someone from our organization has already reached out to a candidate.
SeekOut at a Glance, from a Newer User
- Provides accurate email addresses: SeekOut provides accurate email addresses and allows for direct and fast email follow-up with candidates.
- Provides phone numbers: SeekOut does provide phone numbers but sometimes there are too many and you're not sure which to use and sometimes they are not current or accurate.
- Allows for locating candidates in a specific radius from a specific city: SeekOut provides the ability to target candidates within a geographic radius of the role and it can be very helpful in finding local candidates within commuting distance.
- I took the class recently and it was very helpful. Some of the commands require experimentation, so still working on them.
- SeekOut has tremendous capability to filter and search with Boolean commands. The more you use SeekOut the better you become at targeting just the kind of candidate you want to connect with.
