Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are focused on increasing the diversity of our top of funnel pipeline and SeekOut is instrumental in helping with that. We also use SeekOut to focus on hiring candidates from traditionally marginalized groups at the leadership level. Lastly, SeekOut’s talent insights are helpful in the research we do at the beginning of a search.

Support Rating

The SeekOut team is phenomenal. They’re incredibly helpful and invested in our success using the platform. They will happily build custom power filters which is a huge lift from our team. They are always available to provide assistance or advice on how to either craft a search or to help gain adoption within the team.

Alternatives Considered

Entelo

We found the customer service of SeekOut to be better aligned with our company values. Also, their data and analytics was superior and, at the time, Entelo lacked the insights that would help quantify the effectiveness of the tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

SeekOut is very helpful with creating in depth filters to source for diversity. It’s also helpful to create very long and detailed Boolean strings that would break within other platforms. Also, with their support, we are able to create custom filters based on targeted company backgrounds that typically perform well in our org. The downside is that it requires some workarounds to avoid sourcing the same candidates in SeekOut who have already been approached via LinkedIn.
