Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

We use SeekOut as a sourcing platform for technical candidate searches. It solves the issue of not having potential contact information that you would not have access to if only using LinkedIn. I personally use SeekOut first when conducting my search for talent, because it also provides some profiles that may not have populated on other platforms. The boolean search window, power filters, and ability to search based on certifications is extremely helpful. Also the ability to "clone" a profile and have insight and data on where candidates of a particular industry have worked previously, so you can target other individuals working for a specific company with the same skills. Recommendations would be to add an "open to work/actively looking" tab if possible, but overall thumbs up!
  • Power Filters- using previously successful boolean searches for specific targeted skill sets
  • Potential contact information for search results
  • Integration with LinkedIn and GIThub profiles to be able to connect and message
  • Cloning profiles to find other candidates with same skills
  • Adding open to work/actively looking
  • Data clean up for bad contact information
  • More reliable and current contact information
  • I've found and placed candidates on SeekOut that I would not have found at all had it not been for the tool
  • Increases the chance to get someone on the phone
  • Overall positive impact on business objectives
Our rep. has been great, even sent us swag for being active users and placing hard to fill requisitions
Gives you more informational data on how to find targeted candidates with the ability to find contact information

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy SeekOut again?

Yes

Where ZipRecruiter is great for mostly non-technical profiles with confirmed contact information- SeekOut would be the next best thing for the technical side of recruiting. It does give you the chance for contact information. Sometimes that information is good, and sometimes it's not. When contact information is old or stale, going to their LinkedIn profile to send a connection invite and message through Linkedin Recruiter would be the next step regardless, but is as easy as just one click on their name.
