Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

We implemented SeekOut to allow us to more easily identify and connect with underrepresented talent at a global level. Typical search platforms such as Linkedin only allowed us to analyze markets based on Gender, and SeekOut allowed us to look at the diverse makeup of individual markets or roles. It also pulls multiple channels into its database.
  • Diversity filters allow us to segment talent pools quickly.
  • Talent pool analysis helps us to get a picture of what talent sits in each market.
  • SeekOut works better in the US than in Europe. We often found the mix of the information returned as well as the number of candidates was limited.
  • SeekOut shines for tech-related roles but has opportunities elsewhere. It could also do with adding more channels that are not tech focussed on pulling from.
  • Integrations with Gem and Greenhouse could work more smoothly.
  • Customer support teams, whilst engaged, were not able to effectively influence adoption rates.
  • In our tech business, we have seen a tangible increase of 7% for female hires since we implemented SeekOut.
  • Our US team has seen a lot of impact in driving more underrepresented talent into our pipelines.
  • Adoption rates are still low across our teams with only 30% active users.
Whilst I found the CSMs present, their recommendations didn't necessarily lead to tangible results. I also found their push to upsell tiresome at times.

Do you think SeekOut delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with SeekOut's feature set?

Yes

Did SeekOut live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of SeekOut go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SeekOut again?

No

If you are a US-based company with a focus on improving diversity in your organization, I feel SeekOut is the standout option in the market. For a global brand, as we are, it doesn't shine so much in other regions. It is also a better tool for tech companies than those who hire from other areas.
