Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut
Used it to help source candidates and to help with DEI recruiting/sourcing.
- Diversity sourcing.
- Get direct emails.
- easy and simple UI.
- Does not have all the people like LinkedIn does - I have cross-referenced this with both resources.
- The search is not so intuitive.
- Responses rates were poor - was anywhere from 2-5%.
- Zero hires from SeekOut for all of 2022. We used this as a lone sourcing tool the first half of the year but had to get Recruiter licenses bc we were not doing well with SeekOut.
- It has given us better searching for diversity, however, when it comes to females and HBCUs.
SeekOut is one that my organization was already using when I joined. Because I have gotten little ROI on it, I have had to get more Linkedin Recruiter licenses.
