Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

I used the market insights and diversity filters most often. This tool has a lot of reach and you can find many fantastic leads by using this tool across the world. Seekout covers a larger talent pool than any of the other tools we have used. We source and host events for diverse candidates across the globe and seekout really helps with that. Seekout does not have a lot of flexibility with their packages. Our company struggled to negotiate a customised package with their team and we ended up needing to expand to other tools in order to make up for the lack of flexibility that Seekout offered.

The interface is user-friendly and intuitive. The search capabilities are extensive, especially when it comes to fields. I especially like combining Positions/Description and Summary in my search strings. The candidate information is pulled from a variety of sources. I love using "Combined" functionality to narrow down my search. People Insights presents the analytics in a nice, visual way. I can even "clone" candidates off of the profiles that I choose.
Reducing our sourcing time is where Seekout has made the most significant difference for us. Not only do we save time by making searches easier, but also in the quality of the results we get from each search. Less time sourcing and reaching out (with Seekout's email sequencing) has yielded much more time for developing clients and new business.

Evaluating SeekOut and Competitors

Navigating the platform felt intuitive, with a user-friendly interface that streamlined the entire recruitment process. The straightforward design and well-organized features allowed me to effortlessly search for and identify potential candidates, saving me valuable time and ensuring a more efficient workflow. SeekOut's user-centric approach, coupled with its powerful search capabilities, made it a standout choice among other sourcing tools. Ultimately, the tool's emphasis on simplicity and accessibility played a crucial role in enhancing my overall experience and contributed significantly to my decision to invest in SeekOut for my sourcing needs
In hindsight, if I were to reevaluate and change my selection process for a sourcing tool like "SeekOut," I would likely place a stronger emphasis on scalability and adaptability. While the ease of use was a key factor in my initial decision, anticipating the future growth of my recruitment needs and the tool's ability to scale with those requirements would become a priority. Additionally, I would consider gathering more user feedback and conducting a thorough trial period to assess the tool's long-term performance and any potential limitations. Collaborating with team members to understand their specific needs and preferences would also be crucial in ensuring a more comprehensive evaluation. Overall, a more in-depth analysis of the tool's scalability and user satisfaction could enhance the decision-making process and contribute to a more sustainable and future-proof choice.

The decision not to purchase premium support was influenced by budget constraints. We will consider it again in the future, but right now, we needed to allocate budget elsewhere.
