Likelihood to Recommend

Pro: I like the ability to reach technical candidates by sourcing candidates through GitHub and opening their LI profile. The search filters on both GitHub and LinkedIn work well. Dislike: SeekOut doesn't suggest names slightly resembling the one entered, so if you make a spelling mistake it won't offer any options or suggestions. In addition, we have found candidates with outdated or invalid contact details, which has become a pain point.

Thanks for sharing your review of SeekOut - we appreciate you taking the time - though I'm sorry to hear that not everything is working as expected. If you're still unable to connect your Outlook accounts I'd love to connect and learn more to see if I can escalate the issue and get the integration working for you. We also support integration into most common ATS/CRM systems that enable easy export, improve the efficiency of inbound application screening, allow you to use SeekOut's powerful search across your ATS to rediscover past candidates, and gain insights into your recruiting pipeline and funnel with analytics and insights. If you're open to either conversation please reach out to your Customer Success Manager, or email me directly on epedini@seekout.com, and we'd be delighted to help.

SeekOut is a solid tool, if you have the ability to use all its functionality
