Return on Investment

Great product and value!

PROS

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!

CONS

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

Reason for choosing SeekOut

More functionality for the value.

SeekOut Basic Review

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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 There seems to be a growing number of outdated profiles in the system.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.

Reason for choosing SeekOut

More cost-effective and better sourcing option!

Reasons for switching to SeekOut

SeekOut searches and AI are much easier to utilize over LOXO's very cumbersome setup.

Vendor Response

We appreciate the review, Russ. SeekOut integrates with over 20 different ATS & CRM systems. You can read about it here: https://support.seekout.io/hc/en-us/categories/360004811831-Integrate-your-ATS

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

Reason for choosing SeekOut

Pricing was very fair and was recommended by other recruiters I network with

My SeekOut comparison with others

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

PROS

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

CONS

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

Reason for choosing SeekOut

Mentioned above - SeekOut's functionality, UI and messaging automation

Reasons for switching to SeekOut

Besides switching from Hiretual, I also demoed AmazingHiring, and previously used Entelo. Hiretual I didn't feel was meeting my needs anymore. AmazingHiring, that was a tough decision especially since their cost was a bit more affordable, but SeekOut won me over.

(Easy Product) AND (Great Support)

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

PROS

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.

CONS

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 The contacts can be very outdated.

Reasons for switching to SeekOut

We wanted a more affordable product with more features.
