We use it to source our candidates. The power filters are what set it apart from using a Linkedin Recruiter. We have power filters for our leveling and for other Roblox-specific filters. Our diversity sourcing team primarily uses this system to find talent in our area that is LRG or a lesser represented group.

SeekOut is used for sourcing talent and as a resource for us in Talent Acquisition. Similar to other search tools I have used in the past, SeekOut allows you to filter out a lot of candidates based on specific criteria such as location, employers, previous experience, etc., but where I have seen the most use is targeting specific markets when trying to increase representation from a diversity standpoint. Unlike other platforms, SeekOut is much more detailed and allows you to filter out folks who might not be the type of candidate you are looking for if you are trying to recruit diverse folks in a specific market.

I use SeekOut in my talent research on a daily basis to help inform our hiring partners and senior leaders of talent availability in our target markets, domestic and abroad. SeekOut data, including locational, diversity, skills, and affinity groups are of particular interest as we seek to understand the talent market.

SeekOut has allowed us to create talent insight reports, find candidates who are not on Linkedin, and build up diverse pipelines that create an inclusive work environment. This is a great tool for scraping LI, GitHub, and other social media sources. I use it regularly to actively source candidates for the roles that I am working on.

SeekOut is one of my most valuable resources for finding passive talent and talent needed with specialized interests. The power filters and the ability to create my own power filters to narrow my search to qualified candidates are extraordinary! Truly an amazing asset to my search and allows me to find the candidates needed for hard-to-find roles.

I used the market insights and diversity filters most often. This tool has a lot of reach and you can find many fantastic leads by using this tool across the world. Seekout covers a larger talent pool than any of the other tools we have used. We source and host events for diverse candidates across the globe and seekout really helps with that. Seekout does not have a lot of flexibility with their packages. Our company struggled to negotiate a customised package with their team and we ended up needing to expand to other tools in order to make up for the lack of flexibility that Seekout offered.

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.

We use SeekOut to find good talent for our hiring teams. We use it to get emails and have good success with that. I use SeekOut to target certain companies that we know use the same tech stack that we do and get a list of leads that to reach out to.

SeekOut is the primary go to for all our searches. It readily recommends warm leads that are previous applicants matching the search criteria. Re-engaging with this talent is easier and has helped us make fast hires.

SeekOut is an easy to use platform that helps me source candidates in a new and different way. As a Talent Acquisition Partner, I use SeekOut to source for difficult to fill roles, and to build passive talent pools (for difficult to fill roles). While other tools and job boards can be used for current job openings, Seekout is a quick way to find candidates who possess sought after skills, and to keep those candidates engaged directly. SeekOut helps to form relationships with prospective candidates even before they are job searching!

SeekOut provides an updated database of various talents worldwide.This enables us to avoid the same candidates' visible profile again and again. You can get the necessary information of candidates such as skills, qualifications and achievement. Worldwide access is available. It saves your time by avoiding scrolling through every candidate's profile.

SeekOut is a useful tool to cross reference with LinkedIn when sourcing for unrepresented talent. There have been updates in the tooling that enhanced the power filters when creating a search. There are also talent mapping features that are useful to present reporting metrics to stakeholders when kicking off a new search.

I use SeekOut to search and find diverse candidates. Create campaigns and message prospects on career opportunities that fit their career profile with the intent of progressing to the interview stages with the hiring manager to offer stages. The issue I run into is that I believe the messaging platform SeekOut uses could be more user-friendly. Something that is more tech-friendly, like a message by phone.

We used it for recruiting and staffing sourcing needs, mainly for engineering roles. We had a lot of openings at the Senior, Staff, and Principal Engineer levels that we needed to fill. We also started changing our scope of work from generalist engineers to specialist engineers, which required more sourcing methods.

We started using SeekOut as a way to gain a larger candidate pool for our company's sourcing effort. There are some pros to the use of the AI platform due to diversity sourcing filters and blocking photos of candidates, so we have an unbiased view, but the issues we are having is out of over 300 messages sent in the platform, only 9 people responded back, and all were not interested. Now, this could be an issue due to our present market, but 10% of these candidates didn't have accurate email addresses that were verified by SeekOut.

We used SeekOut as a method to eliminate unconscious biases the hiring managers that were reviewing resumes would have. The good thing is that it shielded any identifying information that could lead to a bias. Unfortunately, sometimes some of those identifiers would be needed when pushing diversity slates.
