Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

SeekOut has changed the way I recruit passive candidates. I use SeekOut to recruit candidates for the roles that I support and recruit for at CommScope. I love the diversity piece of SeekOut and the ability to send 3 messages over the course of several days to candidates. I find that a lot of candidates respond to the 2nd or 3rd email that gets sent out. I love that you can set this up to be automatic and tailor the emails to what best fits the message you want to send. As a busy recruiter, I appreciate SeekOut's automation piece of this.

Pros

  • Automated Messaging over the course of a few days.
  • Diversity Recruitment.
  • Trainings on different ways to source and use SeekOut.

Cons

  • It would be nice to see the accuracy of the contact information attached to each candidate increased. I see that over 50% of the candidates I reach out to via SeekOut have the email returned.
  • Automated multiple messaging.
  • Diversity recruitment.
  • Trainings.
  • I've seen an increase in my diverse candidate pool since using SeekOut.
I like that SeekOut offers automated messaging over the course of a few days. Linkedin Recruiter doesn't offer that. SeekOut will follow back up with a candidate should they not respond to your first message, which is nice. LinkedIn doesn't do that. The accuracy with LinkedIn though tends to be a bit stronger. I reach more candidates via LinkedIn vs. SeekOut.

Do you think SeekOut delivers good value for the price?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy SeekOut again?

Yes

I like the messaging piece of SeekOut. I liked that I can set up 3 messages to a candidate over the course of a few days and SeekOut sends these out for me. As a busy recruiter, it's nice not to go back and see if someone did respond to a message. SeekOut follows up on my behalf. I'd like the see the accuracy of the contact information for candidates in SeekOut increase. Depending on what type of role I'm working on, I sometimes see an error rate in emails over 50%.
