Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our Product & Technology recruiting team uses SeekOut to source and contact niche technical talent. SeekOut helps our business quickly identify technical talent with diverse backgrounds. SeekOut has built confidence among our organization in that we know the level of candidate we are connecting with from the platform will provide our organization with the technical capacity to fulfill the pace at which our tech environment moves, but also the soft skills and values that our culture thrives on.

Pros and Cons

SeekOut highlights diverse talent well. I love that I can filter to view Women in Technology, for example.
The platform's UI is easy to use and the integration with LinkedIn is superb.
The ability to run messaging campaigns in a quick and easy format saves both time and effort.

I have seen duplicate candidates several times and wish that feature was tightened up to possibly 'turn off' a profile.

Return on Investment

SeekOut absolutely excels in providing increased representation and diversity in hard-to-fill roles. It is our go-to when tackling a skill set that we would like to fill with an underrepresented group.

Support Rating

I have only needed support from SeekOut twice but was quickly contacted by the SeekOut representative dedicated to my company's corporate account. It was easy to communicate with them and my questions were resolved swiftly.

Alternatives Considered

LinkedIn Talent Solutions, Linkedin Recruiter, LinkedIn Jobs, Bullhorn ATS & CRM and Salesforce Lightning Platform

We selected SeekOut primarily for it's ability to provide candidates from underrepresented groups that fit hard-to-find skill sets.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would highly recommend SeekOut to any organization (large or small) that is seeking a platform that covers all their talent sourcing needs. SeekOut is excellent for filtering candidates by skill set or technical background and makes an effort to highlight diverse profiles. Because of this, we are able to contact a broader audience of candidates and find talent that aligns with our rigorous DEI goals and values. SeekOut also integrates with LinkedIn, making it simple to view a candidate's profile and gain a more holistic picture of their experience, career goals, and interests. From a messaging standpoint, SeekOut is excellent in providing our Recruiters with the tools to easily run email campaigns and further market our brand and job opportunities.
