Great for sourcing candidates and saving them for future pipelines with the project feature. Great for sourcing using the diversity filter and power filters. I also like that you can minimize profiles you've already seen to be more efficient. I've noticed it's been more difficult to pull email addresses from more junior candidates - it's one of my favorite features but seems to be a little less accurate with early career candidates.

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.

The best help SeekOut has been for my team, and I is its ability to garner phone and email data information and delineate diverse populations. Since it uses LI as a backend database, as long as the link is kept updated with Seekout/LI, it is a good tool to garner the above information and more speedily develop a pipeline of specific candidates.

SeekOut is a great resource to build a 1,000 foot comprehensive view of the talent marketplace. Whether your search is a nationwide query of all available talent with a certain set of titles, or specific to one exact locale that includes a number of disambiguating skillsets, SeekOut will return information that is mostly accurate and actionable.

SeekOut's areas of opportunity for me would be ensuring their information is both accurate and up-to-date.

SeekOut is best suited for DEI candidates, Security clearances, and any role that needs specific areas of expertise. I cannot think of any reason why SeekOut is not best utilized for seeking out talented candidates. Easy to use and narrows down the search to find exactly what you need. I use SeekOut first and then move to other resources if needed.

I think SeekOut is a great tool if we have a dedicated source I wish we had a better and higher response rate for the applicants we find I wish there was a feature where we could hide candidates that are already viewed I really like using this for confidential search that we aren't advertising to build a pipeline

The customer service has been amazing! Our success rep has helped us by maximizing our package and optimizing our reach outs to candidates. The platform is easy to use and to teach to new hires and Carrie has been flawless at teaching us tips and tricks to learn how to use Seek Out to it's fullest potential. The Biggest problem this is helping us solve is finding qualified candidates to reach out to and try to hire. Right now hiring is our number one priority- so this has helped us reach out to candidates!

SeekOut is well suited for very particular skillset individuals. I would use this platform to search for a PICC Nurse. However, I would not use this platform to fill certain reqs like Warehouse Workers or Nutrition help. Our organization has a large variety of position to fill, we need a database that can provide the same variety.

If we are targeting a company to hire people from you can easily pull a list of people from that company, it saves time and is a pretty good list. You can also get an email addresses of the potential leads.

I find SeekOut very well suited for sourcing in general. It is also very beneficial for targeted sourcing as you can really narrow down the criteria. As for casting a "wide net", SeekOut can be beneficial if can be smart about the search string used.

I used SeekOut to source for a cyber security architect. I had been trying to gill the position for months and with SeekOut I found a candidate and had an offer within two weeks. SeekOut is great for niche hard to fill roles. It doesn't not work well with volume recruiting, and or in industries where candidates are not online often.

Very well suited for a lot of professional services recruiting, specifically for diverse sourcing. It provides a different queue of candidates than LinkedIn and the search fields are more varied. Less ideal for hourly workers/industry-type roles.

It has powerful filter with great talent pooling.It has supported features, elaborating skills mapping, utilizing existing skills landscaping, wide-range of candidates screening, various reporting, definition, role, candidates modelling, talent discovery, candidates evaluation, candidates scoring and internal mobility. Seekout basically ensures that you hire the right and well qualified candidates, who are not only capable but have a learning attitude to adapt to the changing scenario.

SeekOut's talent mapping feature has been useful for presenting on the candidate pipeline for particular niche roles across multiple locations. If you are looking to send out bulk outreach messages or tracking metrics of replies, SeekOut is not the best tool for that as this is best suited to do within the LinkedIn website.

It's well-suited for sourcing teams, but for full desk recruiters, it can improve, and I would love to see some more AI functionality, where candidates are preselected for certain roles. We didn't get much functionality from the tool for our specialist engineering roles, but SeekOut is good at generalist searching.

It is a larger-scale recruiting tool, but their location tools need to be better. If I am sourcing for a role in Los Angeles, I shouldn't be getting candidates located in India as a match when I am sourcing for a 50 miles radius. Also, to get their email addresses, it uses a credit, and the majority of the time, these are email addresses that bounce back or the person doesn't actively use. So the metrics look like it was sent because they will send an email to every single one listed as a match to that candidate. So if they have 7 email addresses, it will count as a reached email if even one of those are current. That doesn't mean the person replies.
