Overall Satisfaction with DiscoverOrg
The entire organization I work for uses Discover.org and it is mostly used to obtain information for business development, occasionally to acquire information on possible candidates. It is available to all employees whether they are working as a recruiter, an account manager or a full desk employee. We are also utilizing it for national accounts, contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire verticals.
- It quickly slows you to see whether it is going to have access to what you are looking for or not, so at least a lot of time is not wasted.
- The search feature in being able to type in a company name or individual name is nice because it might still pull someone up from a previous company and there might still be a cell number provided.
- The sort feature with data is nice in being able to sort by name, title, etc
- The information provided is very hit or miss and often times inaccurate.
- Titles listed in discover.org are usually not the same as titles on individuals LinkedIn.
- Sometimes it is so fast to pull a company up while you are searching and it is nowhere near the company you wanted.
- I am not aware of what it cost for us to use it to answer this effectively.
- If I were using my time as a cost, the ROI would be negative for using discover.org.
- Discover.org is never my first choice in trying to find information.
It does not stack up against them and I would not choose Discover org over them. The company I am with now using them and no option was given. Based on my exposure to the program if I were given the decision-making process I would opt for zoom info over Discover org and all others I have tried.
