Great product and value!

Seekout is an exceptional tool. It is a real time saver and versatile functionality. I reviewed several tools to simplify and streamline recruitment searches and messaging. For the money it is the best tool for the money. The messaging/campaign system is better than my ATS!

They are always working to improve functionality and contact finding has improved greatly in the last year.

SeekOut has provided our company with a great source of candidates and direct contact information and is a good tool for creating and maintaining talent pools. I've used it to support a client in their contract staffing needs (IT Consulting Co.) very well.

There are several features that the basic version has that we find very useful: - Filters for searches - Ability to exclude/include companies, titles, skills in searching - search down to the city area level - Being able to quickly create projects for searches - Finding contact information (personal emails, some ph #'s and even work emails) - The AI Recommendation of candidates once a project has been established. Great source of additional candidates possbilities.

It doesn't integrate with ATS's ... at least not at the basic user level. It does allow for CMS file creation but has a limited # of pre-mapped tables you can use with other tools (11 in total). This could definitely be improved. Also, direct integration would be an improvement where you could send candidates into your ATS directly without downloading. There seems to be a growing number of outdated profiles in the system. SeekOuts database needs to be updated more often.

I really like this tool it helps me get in front of many [potential candidates

Seekout is a great tool for a recruiter that needs to search social media. it narrows the candidate pool down helping you pinpoint candidates that have the skills you may need. What really nice feature is the messaging feature. allowing you to send messages/emails to candidates

A lot to learn can be frustrating at times as you are trying to do other searches.

Great. The platform is easy to use and the Chrome extension is good too.

SeekOut functionality and UI were better than others I demonstrated. Also, SeekOut's outreach messaging automation is pretty good too.

SeekOut is a little bit more expensive than others and they limit their contact credits with no rollover.

We are still getting used to all of the capabilities. Still tweaking the searches to match our needs. Overall, a very nice product.

Diving in and using this product has been very easy. It gives you more choices to make to narrow down the search. I like the ability of sharing with co-workers so they can review the profiles to see if they are a potential candidate for a particular position.

No guaranteed connection with a "profile". The contacts can be very outdated.

I am not a manager or an executive. I am very much a tactical recruiter and it has been quite easy to incorporate SeekOut in my daily recruiting process. Additionally, the SeekOut team is accessible and friendly. I can call or I can email anytime. I get responses back quickly/usually within same day. When I started using SeekOut, the manager I worked with did as much training as I needed and answered all of my annoying questions. Some organizations are too big to be able to provide that kind of customer dedication now

I don't think there is just one aspect that I appreciate most about SeekOut which is why I like it and why it has become a "go-to" tool in my recruiting portfolio. It provides me with options. SeekOut is one source that has a lot of sources in one and it is highly user-friendly. It also automates and therefore reduces a lot of the time I spend "meta-sourcing" meaning activities like searching for contact information for a prospect or candidate's profile.

Right now, I use the first two tabs the most. I think that 3rd tab has a lot of potential and would love to see that somehow become a more robust component within SeekOut. I would like the additional option of the SeekOut Robot to not only be tied to Project folders in order to use it. I like to do targeted and general searches and feel like SeekOut Robot is better suited for targeted or more specialized searches.

I'm satisfied so far using this software. easy to filter, easy to save hfilter history

I like how easy to navigate the filters to find candidates for open job roles we are looking for

the least thing I like is just 1 wrong space or spelling the search wont work. but it's fine

My favorite use of Seekout is as a talent intelligence tool. My second favorite use is to help find/augment data from preexisting lists.

I wish data was refreshed on a more frequent basis. I also would like the ability to add more information for the system to match against when uploading data to projects. Along the same lines, from a UI perspective, when you upload data, I wish it would first go through the whole list, then ask you how you want to proceed with the questionable matches.

In general our experience with the software has been quite positive, and we are currently considering purchasing one of the paid plans that the platform manages, due to its versatility.

One of the features that makes this tool so attractive is the scope of people it has, as it has a large database that provides a variety of profiles that allow you to choose personnel that adapt to the multiple vacancies that need to be filled.

Sometimes the information provided by this platform is not the most accurate, but in many cases this can be improved by fixing the search filters.

SeekOut is a wonderful resource for locating potential candidates and obtaining their contact information. It's a simple and effective tool for recruiting firms. The boolean search feature, in particular, is quite beneficial for sorting certain choices. A fantastic tool!

It's a special tool for me, I haven't found any particular bad issue.

Overall good experience, not great, but I'm good (not great) with Boolean searches. I was testing another AI product alongside, and found it easier to find candidates with the other product. The other product really has a good AI/machine learning feature, while SeekOut requires you to use more Boolean-driven search features. If you're comfortable with Boolean, then then you'll be fine using SeekOut. Finally, I think the ability to use SeekOut to effectively search through Github for IT recruiting is a really powerful offering from SeekOut, and could be a game changer. I didn't do this, but my friends who do way more IT recruiting than I do say SeekOut is their tool of choice because of this feature.

Email campaign features are great. I liked that once you set up an email campaign, it was easy to add candidates to the project and the campaign. I liked that there is an analytics dashboard for each specific campaign. I liked that that emailing through SeekOut integrates with your email, so you don't have to be on SeekOut to respond. I like that you can look at the various emails attached to a candidate and determine which the most valid one to use in your campaign. Finally, outstanding customer service.

Email campaign features need improvement. It's not intuitive to set up the campaign. Once you set it up, it works easily, but getting there may require help from customer service. The analytics related to the campaign aren't consistent or accurate. You will see which emails bounced in the first 24 hours, but then the "bounced" tag reverts to "opened," which skews your data and doesn't allow you to follow up with those candidates via another email or a call if you don't catch it right away. Also, if the email bounces, and there are other emails attached to the candidate, SeekOut doesn't automatically email the candidate at one of those other addresses. You have to do it manually.

SeekOut's filters allow you to hone in on the talent you're looking for a lot quicker than normal. It provides a way for us to filter FOR diversity which then gives our team a leg up balancing their pipeline of candidates. Another aspect of SeekOut that I love is that we are able to do a lite market map of candidates using the filters that are in place - that can be shared with people who don't have access to Seekout like leaders.

When looking at the insights for projects made up of candidates in other continents - you aren't able to get a global breakdown of diversity (ie % of females are in this project). I think the product is still growing internationally so I can't wait until it's as robust as the candidates based in the USA. In some cases, the profiles are either not updated with a candidate's latest move (within 6 months) or clicking on their Linkedin profile leads to a broken link. That's likely because the person has changed the URL in their Linkedin since the last time Seekout updated their database.

Nice

Ease of use seekout is very user friendly,AI Match is the best tool to get your hands on at the moment , Love the diversity search results its populate

only linkedin results are not enough , add more sources like dice/monster.

The search functionality and customization options, the automated campaign messaging system (especially the humanization features such as the "send as reply" options), and the ability tag candidates across multiple users to avoid duplicate contacting.

There are some features that I wish existed that do not, for instance the ability to search for only candidates who have held a specific job title for a minimum cumulative number of years, even amongst different employers. My only other complaint is that sometimes profiles appear in searches claiming that they contain a specific mandatory keyword, when in fact upon opening the profile the keyword is nowhere to be found.

I love seekout and recommend it to all our new hires - I love how easy it is to use, I like that the search algorithm seems to filter out a lot of the "noise" showing only the most relevant candidates, and I also like that I can use diversity filters. This tool has helped me have a tremendous impact when it came to hiring underrepresented talent. I also love playing around with the power filters and seeing how that can help my search.

The only suggestion I have is to add a feature where you can jump back in to any previous search (not just the last 3-4 sourcing strings, and without having to save a search). Also, it would be cool if we could see what day that search string was ran as well.

I use Seekout often to find candidate emails and profiles I normally don't come across, which I'm able to port over into Linkedin and Greenhouse very easily via the Chrome extension.

It would be great if SeekOut provides more up to date data on where a candidate is currently, since usually Seekout reports candidates at their old jobs and is not always the most up to date if the candidates have moved.

Our overall experience with SeekOut is extremely positive. And their Customer Service is outstanding!!

SeekOut is an integral part of our daily workflow. It enables us to identify and connect with the talent that we are looking for.

I like the ability to gather prospective candidates' phone numbers in addition to their emails - but the accuracy re: phone numbers could be improved.

Seekout is a good tool, specially for the diversity

It gives you the clone candidates and diversity candidates.

It gives you the screened candidates which is time consuming.

We can create projects and easily move them to an Excel is most useful. Contact info available for candidates makes it a quick process to reach out to candidates- Opening up the pool of candidates globally has really worked well.

Some LI profiles are duplicate and some need to be updated- Not all contact #s listed are correct, some are company #s which are not helpful-

Great Experience!

- The Power Filters - The advanced Boolean option - The AI Matching - The Messaging Campaigns - Being able to customize filters and create own filters - Talent Insights

- Need more learning on how to utilize this tool more efficiently, as there is so much that can be done, but not everyone would be aware of how to.

SeekOut is intuitive and easy to use. I love that you can build boolean searches and save them to specific projects. The advanced filters are incredible for targeted searching, and I love that there is an option to filter for diversity. The ability to "collapse profiles I've already seen" is ESSENTIAL to my workflow each day. And I especially love that there's a dark mode :)

I was not in charge of integrating this software, so I can't speak on that part. I wish that there were a way to target specific companies to source from, and/or to filter companies by type (e.g. "SaaS companies"). Every once in awhile, there will be a profile mismatch (one profile is listed on SeekOut, and a separate or broken profile opens up on LinkedIn when you click it), but that's rare and super minor.

Very satisfied

Diversity filters, Github search, social media functionality

Data refresh could be sooner, some missing links

Integration and ease of use are both exceptional.

That you can't seem to cut and past a name into the search bar.

My overall experience with SeekOut has been positive. It can be a bit overwhelming with the amount of results from searches, but the support team and trainings offered, are a HUGE help in narrowing down qualified candidates.

What i believe sets SeekOut apart from other platforms is the quantity of candidates that come back from a search. SeekOut taps into a tremendous amount of folks that each search returns. It is very user friendly, and easy to narrow down results and put them in 'projects' to contact with a mass email, or reach out individually.

I wish SeekOut had the ability to capture CURRENT Full Scope Poly folks. As it stands now, there is a filter for folks that have held, or may have held one now or in the past, but nothing definitively confirms a current clearance.

I would pick having a seekout license over having access to any other tool. I can't live without it!

The boolean search and filters they have are so much better than any other tool. I also love that I can use their contact finder and import it into my ATS.

I wish I had a better sense of who is actively job searching and what locations they might consider.
