Use Cases and Deployment Scope
SeekOut is used to seek out healthcare professionals. We use it for any profession from pharmacy technicians to RN's to Executive positions. I find that this database i geared mostly towards clinical positions or something higher up than some of our minimum wage positions we are seeking applicants for.
Pros and Cons
  • Provide Professional job Seekers
  • Allows very specific search Criteria
  • Has a specialist available to assistance
  • Larger client base
  • Providing active applicants
  • More advertisement
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

SeekOut is mostly used for Recruitment needs. It mostly helps with highly specialized positions that may be otherwise hard to fill. Seekout allows you to find people on LinkedIn, reach out to them, and provide them with the opportunity to apply for the job you have available. If it doesnt work out, you atleast have a new contact.

We need people available to constantly monitor the type, quality, and quantity of applicants we are receiving through this platform. Is it working for us? Do we get what we pay for? Does it supply the kind of employee we need for those hard jobs? All is taken in to consideration when choosing the person to support SeekOut.

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.

SeekOut is very attentive in training our group. They are very quick to answer any issues we may have, as well as sending out live online training for all employees. While they are very helpful, there is only so much you can do with this platform, so training isn't incredibly valuable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I am working on Renewable energy field as a recruiter. We are looking for people in many different position. Mechanical, Electrical Engineer, sales, Project Manager. We are using SeekOut, when we do not have suitable applicants for a position, it searches on LinkedIn for suitable potential candidates, using boolean, adding location and years of experience. Example we were looking for a mechanical engineer who has experience with engineering, modifying lifting and handling equipments, as the people who applied did not have.
Pros and Cons
  • Search on LinkedIn
  • Advise Industries
  • Advise Filters
  • Searching for a similar candidate, that I found
  • Put the level of knowledge of a language that the person speaks
  • If I click on the next series of applicants show the list from the top, not from the bottom
  • Let modify saved searchings, by saving the changes
Likelihood to Recommend
It is really amazing, that it can search on LinkedIn, but that you cannot set, the level of a language knowledge. Example I was looking for a French speaking engineer, and SeekOut brings out the ones who speaks on limited level, or beginner. I could not filter for people who speaks advanced level in French. So I have to double check all the candidates. And I think LinkedIn is more likely able to find the searching words even if it is written in the profile on an other language then English.

  • We could have a recruiter searching tool on a much lower price then Linkedin Recruiter.
  • I can search for potential candidates where we missed suitable candidates.
  • SeekOut uses AI as well for search that is an extra compared to LinkedIn.

Luckily I did not need to use SeekOut support, everything worked fine and was understandable on SeekOut.
Alternatives Considered
Seek out helps reduce recruiting costs, beside that it collects contact date from other platforms. You can also use AI to find people and look for similar profiles with the "clone" candidate, that we would like to do in real life.:)

Because it works well and good for search, but does not find words if they are in an other langauge in the profile and you cannot set the level of langauge knowledge.

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.
Usability

Maybe in the beginning it takes time to learn to use Seekout, but after you discovered it is easy to use, and it even offers possibilites of filter that you would not even thought about.
Easy Tasks
  • boolean search
  • field of industry
  • See a summary of candidate's profile
Difficult Tasks
  • choose location
  • language knowledge level is missing
  • extra search filters
