Overall Satisfaction with Entelo

About half of our recruiting team of 15 people uses Entelo for our sourcing and prospecting needs. It helps us uncover talent for specific roles that we may not be able to find otherwise. It is particularly helpful for more technical roles, especially engineering and dev roles. It's another repository of information in terms of who has reached out, and when. The data isn't always updated, but we can usually work around that.
  • Great search functionality and lots of different criteria to filter with
  • The Sonar feature is helpful for passive sourcing and always starting your day with 5 (ideally) qualified candidates
  • It's great when the specific filters work well (e.g. More Likely to Move, Diversity, etc.)
  • The reporting functionalities and charts are helpful to know which kind of messaging is working
  • Lots of old data and outdated profiles
  • Not a very intuitive UI - the product's peripheries and its overall design could use a lot of work
  • Not easy to track who's been reached out to from each list
  • It's helped us source some really high-quality engineers that we may not have found otherwise.
  • The poor quality data has hindered us in quite a few ways, unfortunately.
  • The Sonar and Envoy features have enabled us to save quite a bit of time by acting as robo-sourcers in off-hours.
  • The ability to schedule emails to be sent at custom, optimal times has been very helpful!
We've also used Mixmax and ZenSourcer, which are better for automatic follow-ups, but Entelo's product is improving quickly and we're sticking with it for now.
Entelo is a great place to start for someone in a sourcing role on a recruiting team. It would be helpful for anyone diving into a new role where they need to build a candidate pipeline, AND they have very specific parameters to filter down to, in order to seek the ideal candidate. It's not as good as LinkedIn for business-focused roles, we've found. This is because a lot of engineers don't tend to be as receptive in InMail as they are to receiving an email right to their inbox.
