Using for sourcing platform finding passive candidates to pipeline looking for data on today's market I wanted to connect with a new platform that we were able to utilize in our high growth mode I like having another channel to find candidates that may not be applicants in our ats
  • Diversity hires
  • Passive pool
  • insight on salary range
  • pushing to ats
  • organization of candidates already viewed
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

  • We are struggling with response
Quick response time Knowledgeable staff Easy tech support Support site Tutorial time intro with the team to learn
We chose this because it was a better option, but I now in theroy feel like this was a bad choice.Luxo was more dynamic and was able to passively connect with multiple outreaches, seek out was very basic
We used this previously in our TA team, It was a total waste of our time. It was always down, and never got any real results from the platform, our entire TA team used it and i do not think in the 1 year we ever got 1 response frrom a candidate in the platform

we previously used Greenhouse as our ATS and this all fed into our system. When looking for a product to enhance our sourcing abilities- this was critical in our decision making. The resumes fed through the platform into the requisitions and it was clean
I would have done more current customer feedback and dug deep into what the success rate of sourcing was

Seek out did great training with our team, and tried their best. It was not the actual team but the platform itself. They even sent my team branded swag
It was very complex- and hard to use. It would show older contact information and i do not feel like it was constantly updated. It was hard to use and very not user friendly trying to create different campaigns

In the healthcare/healthcare insurance space, I have used SeekOut on everything from an ICU RN, Pathology Manager, to an Epic Analyst and OnBase Solutions Engineer. This tool fits whatever niche industry I need help sourcing in. I have hired RNs, Quality Data Managers, Lab Managers, IT professionals, and other professional roles.
  • Job title searches
  • Industry-specific targeted searches
  • The ability to "clone" that perfect candidate.
  • The new RN database is over the top!
  • Text campaigns would be lovely, but I understand the regulatory issues.
I recruit in the healthcare/hospital/insurance space and it rocks all the way around!!! The new RN database is a game changer

  • Reduced time to hire
  • Savings secondary to not using an external search firm to fill challenging roles
  • Great candidate experience.
  • Great recruiter experience.
SeekOut team is so easy to work with and the turnaround time is amazing!
I did a demo and then a side-by-side trial - they didn't have near the results that SeekOut did.

Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
None - it's not integrated - it's a stand-alone.

Yes. They get the engineers involved and problem solve away!
Working on an issue with my emails (I have two separate email accounts, and one of them cannot be connected to Seekout secondary to DOD contract). They are amazing in helping me work through the technical challenges that go with this.
Search functionality, Power Filters, Cloning. People Insights...the list is endless.

SeekOut is a fantastic tool! In a candidate market where potential employees are being flooded with messages, SeekOut provides tools and capabilities to help make candidate contact seamless and easy. The Boolean capabilities paired with their pre-designated power filters and their integrations with public-facing profiles enhance candidate identification and have helped me identify candidates I had not seen previously. These search capabilities paired with messaging campaigns (either to use a template or create my own) have helped tremendously with getting qualified candidates pushed over to our organization. In addition to the candidate outreach, the metrics and insights provided by SeekOut are helpful in using data as a story to provide updates to our internal hiring teams!
  • Candidate Identification
  • Messaging Campaigns
  • Metrics Analysis
  • Industry Filters
  • Years of Experience Filters
I have used SeekOut at previous employers so when approached at Abercrombie to recommend tools/products to help us out I did not hesitate to recommend SeekOut. The power filters are helpful but more importantly, it has a robust Boolean search capability to help really nail down specific searches when looking for candidates.
  • Bias Reducer helps eliminate any potential or unseen biases which can help increase diversity
  • Messaging campaigns are easy to use which improves the recruiter experience and allows us to let the tool do the work in the background while we can continue to search for different positions
  • The ability to set up a campaign and project and move on helps reduce the time to hire across multiple roles as they can work in conjunction with each other.
I haven't had any major issues while using SeekOut but any questions I've had I have been able to quickly identify an answer or receive a response from our Account Reps.
We also did some other demos on different tools and ultimately selected SeekOut. The diversity metrics SeekOut provides are critical for tracking diversity hiring initiatives and getting insights on a particular position, location, or company. We also were impressed by SeekOuts Power Filters and Boolean capabilities as well as their AI matching engine. The UI for SeekOut is very user friendly and easy to navigate so helped with implementation for our team.

We implemented SeekOut across our Talent Acquisition for Experienced Hires team. Management also uses the platforms for insights and metrics when tracking our ROI and productivity amongst the team.
We do not have an in-house team dedicated to SeekOut support but we rely on the support provided from SeekOut which has been top notch to solve any issues, create us new power filters, provide training from platform usage to boolean functions and more. It has been extremely helpful.

I recommended SeekOut due to prior usage. I am a big fan of the platform and made the recommendation to my leadership. They primarily focused on the price and features provided when making their decision and felt it was very much in line with tools our organization did not currently have.
I would not change a thing- We are satisfied.

Once the licenses were purchased we were sent an email to activate our account. From there we had full access to the platform and a training was set up. Since I had used SeekOut previously I understood the dynamics of the platform and was able to use it instantly.

SeekOut has a very user friendly UI. Each section is well titled for what you are doing and it walks you through the steps needed to get going. The candidate searching has a boolean field and a lot of filter options that you can select what you want to use to not overload your screen and help you identify the right candidate. The messaging campaigns are easy to set up and provide several templates for you to base your campaign off of, or you can create your own. The projects are easy to track and see all the candidates.
