I used SeekOut for approximately two years, primarily for candidate sourcing rather than outreach. My overall experience was very positive. The platform was easy to learn, offered reliable and detailed filters, and supported complex searches without making the process unnecessarily difficult. The bulk export functionality was particularly valuable when multiple recruiters worked on the same role, as it allowed us to divide profiles clearly and prevent duplicated sourcing work. Although I preferred manual searches over its AI functionality, I could see the AI search being useful for less experienced recruiters or simpler assignments. I had no major usability complaints. The primary disadvantage was the price, which eventually led my company to discontinue the platform. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros SeekOut offers strong search filters and makes it easy to maintain control over complex candidate searches. One of its most useful features is the ability to export profiles in bulk to an Excel file. When several recruiters were sourcing for the same position, we could divide the exported profiles among the team and avoid repeatedly reviewing or contacting the same candidates. The interface is intuitive and easy to learn. Its AI-assisted search can also be helpful for junior recruiters, beginners, or people conducting less complex searches. #### Cons SeekOut was expensive, and the cost was prohibitive for a smaller company such as the one I worked at. They eventually stopped using and the cost was the deciding factor. I also did not find the AI search particularly useful for my own work. I prefer to build searches manually because it gives me more control over the criteria and results. However, this is more a matter of working style than a major problem with the platform. --- ### The Evolution of a Great Talent Sourcing Tool - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Defense & Space - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: March 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have used SeekOut as a tool to augment information about target talent audiences. SeekOut's ability to aggregate social data has been a game-changer. SeekOut Expert has been a valuable addition to its offering. SeekOut insights have been valuable in terms of visualizing information that illustrates trends that TA leadership values. Finally, SeekOut's ability to integrate with our CRM has been extremely valuable. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros SeekOut is a product that has done their background research on what the talent acquisition marketplace needed. They listened and made the improvements the market requested. Now as the organization has evolved, SeekOut is not anticipating and leading in innovation in this key software segment. Specifically, what I like about SeekOut is the ability to aggregate data from Linkedin Public Profiles with other social sites like GitHub. I am particularly enjoying the SeekOut expert and other features that facilitate original research on target talent. #### Cons I am skeptical about the ability of AI-based on the limited information contained on a LinkedIn public profile to be robust enough to really make a positive impact. The beauty of AI is its ability to process big data and make recommendations based on parsing lots of information. Also, I find there are about 15-20% fewer people with public LinkedIn profiles that are found on LinkedIn's own platforms. Finding a way to add those missing profiles would be an added addition. Finally, increasing the number of home email addresses fro the target talent is an ongoing challenge. While improvements are made, this might be an area where AI can shine. --- ### Best recruiting software - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Asheesh S. - Industry: Human Resources - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Nice #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 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 #### Cons only linkedin results are not enough , add more sources like dice/monster. --- ### SeekOut Basic Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: March 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### Vendor response We appreciate the review, Russ. SeekOut integrates with over 20 different ATS & CRM systems.

Phenomenal software, very easy to use, great algorithms for tough searches #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Search algorithm accurately identifies more candidates than other software we've used #### Cons Resume search from internet; this only really enables us to import LinkedIn profiles vs. resumes from personal websites, etc. Also, getting from the project to the campaign is clunky - I wish you could add to the campaigns like you can to the projects. --- ### Expensive but Unbeatable Search Capabilities - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Staffing and Recruiting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - Reviewed: March 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I'm very disappointed SeekOut increased its price by almost 200% and eliminated their monthly subscriptions. For almost every search, I rely on my custom boolean vs. using only their filters. Because I don't utilize all of SeekOut's features, we're still unsure if the price increase is worth it but will re-assess at the end of the year. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I really enjoy being able to use their pre-populated search features in addition to the custom advance search features. I'm able to narrow down candidates with very particular skills and experience with no problem. I also really enjoy that you can request contact info (not always available /accurate). It's super helpful that your search is automatically saved/attached to the project in which you added your search results, so you don't have to worry about where you left off! #### Cons Not much that I don't enjoy. They could improve by making it easier to navigate back and forth from the project and search page. It would help if they offered more project ranking options. Also, when using * in the keyword/boolean search, it would help if the results would show the corresponding keyword on the profile (just like the regular search feature). --- ### Seekout Review:) - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Evelyn O. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Great team great service. Couldn’t ask for better! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I absolutely love the team, you are always happy to help and no request is impossible. You have great relationships with your clients and it reflects in your product. Keep up the great work 👍 #### Cons Sometimes when I’m enriching data I have to hit the button a few times, not a big deal but if it’s over 100 profiles I’ll need to hit it a few times. --- ### Seekout Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Logan R. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Our experience with Seekout so far has been awesome. The team has been extremely hands on, helpful and very supportive as we implement to our global TA team. The product itself is sophisticated, easy to use/navigate and has unlocked insights/profiles the team would not have access to otherwise. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The product has been easy for the team to grasp and learn from a sourcing perspective. The insights have been extremely valuable. #### Cons The only major con so far for some of our high volume teams would be the limited number of export credits each month. #### Vendor response Thank you for your amazing review! We believe at SeekOut that great people create companies. We're glad our tool is helping you succeed in maximizing your talent. Replied August 2022 --- ### SeekOut is my new favorite platform to Source on! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michelle D. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - Reviewed: April 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

The results I get back are very relevant and I get a very high amount more so than other job sites. The export function is also great and again the ease of use of the entire site is so important to me as I don't have to spend a lot of time on trainings and ramp up time to get used to a new platform, I was able to jump in from day 1. The links in a person's profile is super helpful. #### Cons I'm not sure if this is a Con or a feature that is optional but I'm not able to download a resume or profile. --- ### Easy as 1...2...3 - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Katie F. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · daily - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.
