Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut
SeekOut is a robust TA platform and we use it several different ways.
The first is to provide talent intelligence reports to our Hiring Managers and leadership. These reports help them understand what the talent pool looks like, as far as available candidates, their education, skills, years of experience, and how many come from under represtend groups.
The second is used for sourcing candidates. The search function within SeekOut is pretty comprehensive and you can search based on things you can't find on LinkedIn. But it also connects to LinkedIn so if you'd like to use the search on LinkedIn it will find their personal contact information and put them in campaigns straight from the browser.
