Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

As a team of 6 recruitment professionals, we needed another option for sourcing candidates. SeekOut was meant to address not finding candidates on LinkedIn past 3rd connections as well as providing additional contact information not listed on public job boards, forums, etc. As an organization with a rigorous interview process and lack of remote opportunities, we need to have additional leads coming through our recruitment funnel. SeekOut was another avenue for adding to our "funnel."

Pros

  • Providing one on one sourcing coaching sessions with your account manager
  • Friendly, available account mangers

Cons

  • Updating candidate contact information to be up to date and accurate
  • Working on confirming candidate locations correctly
  • As a team, we are glad we tried SeekOut, but the ultimately, the platform was not for us.
Support is SeekOut's strongest attribute. Their team was always kind, helpful, and scheduled sourcing sessions as needed. Their account managers seemed very knowledgeable in sourcing strategies, boolean techniques, etc.
We choose SeekOut for the Account Manager support and the opportunity to provide live, real feedback to the team.

Did SeekOut live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of SeekOut go as expected?

No

Would you buy SeekOut again?

No

For us, SeekOut was only used to gain lead/candidate names and then proceeding to find those candidates on other platforms. For us, the candidate location and contact information was never correct, which resulted in emails and messages being undeliverable. If you have the time to take lead names, seach and message on other platforms, SeekOut is right for you.
