Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

I formerly worked at Thomson Reuters and I used SeekOut on a daily basis, mostly to find executive-level diverse candidates. The filters in SeekOut made it extremely fast and efficient to find those top talent diverse candidates.
  • Finds Diverse candidates quickly.
  • Keeps updated on contact information for candidates.
  • Allows you to create special saved filters to make searches more efficient.
  • Great cloning feature to find "like" candidates for hard to fill positions.
  • Great customer support!
  • User friendly dashboard/interface.
  • Sometimes the profiles in SeekOut do not integrate when clicking on LI profiles.
  • Most of the time contact information is up to date, but could be better at times.
  • Diversity feature is not always 100% accurate.
  • Potential to add additional features - suggest utilizing surveys for users to provide feedback.
  • Finding more diverse candidates.
  • Finding technical candidates that are not necessarily on LinkedIn through other resources available through SeekOut, i.e. Github, etc.
  • Made our job easier and more efficient.

Do you think SeekOut delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SeekOut's feature set?

Yes

Did SeekOut live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of SeekOut go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy SeekOut again?

Yes

I believe I have stated most of those in previous questions, but SeekOut is well suited for finding diverse candidates including gender, ethnicity, veteran, etc. It seems to be better suited for more senior-level or technical candidates. For larger companies, it is an awesome tool and seems to be priced appropriately. I am not aware if they offer this or not but may have a "lite" version for freelance recruiters and sourcing professionals that is more affordable.
