Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pros and Cons

Pros

targeting female talent
targeting diverse talent
EASY to use - very user friendly
Many helpful filter options

Cons

The ability to filter by those "open to work" on LinkedIn

Return on Investment

Increased representation of females in our Tech roles
increased representation of ethnically diverse candidates across the organization

I use both LI Recruiter and SeekOut. They have very different filtering options. SeekOut is great to target diverse talent. LI Recruiter is great because I'm able to filter out talent to only those open to work, which increases my response rate.

Likelihood to Recommend

I use SeekOut to source diverse talent for all of our open roles. It's been extremely helpful in increasing female representation in our Tech divisions. It also helps me to comply with our diversity initiative. I strive to present a talent slate consisting of 50% or more of these candidates being ethnically diverse. My biggest issue is not knowing if someone is "open to work" on LinkedIn. This filter is an option on LI Recruiter, but not SeekOut. This lends to a lower response rate.
