SeekOut Reviews

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.

I love that diversity and inclusion is at the heart of this company. It’s a strong focus for my team since we primarily source based on diversity.

I think a lot of the candidates profiles are not updated. I’ve noticed that some profiles are extremely old in Seekout vs. looking at them in LinkedIn. It can be annoying when I find a great candidate and then realize they just started a new job two months ago.

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.

Seekout's filters make sourcing for specific positions so easy! Instead of spending hours going through LinkedIN profiles, I can perform a quick, detailed search on Seekout using their filters that narrows down prospective candidates to those that actually fit the profile. Great tool!

I wish that the lag between updates on LinkedIN profiles was less. The profiles Seekout pulls may be 30-45 days old, so you miss people that recently updated their profile.

Customer support and great option to LinkedIn

The ability to extract ALL data is critical

I like the enrichment features & the ability to export using the SeekOut standard. Makes it super simple to use in conjunction with other tools.

I kind of wish the feature that minimized candidates in your search would actually exclude them from the search results. I don't like that it just shrinks, and changes the frame of my desktop.

I think it is the best AI in the HR systems sector... the Diversity capabilities are superior to any other tool out there. The ability to see github and Linkedin together is genius

messaging is still clunky, ability to share with a hiring manager someone your excited about is harder than it should be. ability to share with another recruiter, "hey this person would be good for your job" is too time cosuming

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.

This software is really easy to use. It honestly does way more than I even know how to use. The team at SeekOut is great at showing you how to use it effectively to produce amazing results!

Sometimes the email or phone is outdated, but they are coming up with the best information they have available.

It gives you the clone candidates and diversity candidates.

It gives you the screened candidates which is time consuming.

- 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.

I love that I can easily track down contact information as I source. This saves my team a lot of time when it comes to outreach, and it limits the number of LinkedIn inmails we have to use. Seekout also has great advanced boolean options that allow me to do more complex searches. Lately, I've been taking advantage of the Github search feature which makes it really easy to find candidate for technical roles.

I don't like that there's a lag between Seekout and LinkedIn, so some of the information can be out of date. Also, while the email finding feature is great, it is not always accurate. I think Seekout's algorithms are improving, so this could become less of an issue as time goes on.

Flaxibility of the different aspects e.g. I can search and see differences when I change the location radius. Also, how I can see trends like where are former employees of a certain company working now

It doesn't have the option to narrow down to specific disciplines when it comes to degrees

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.

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.

finding candidates is made easy. lots of new candidates

not syncing with internal tools properly for live recruiting

Integration and ease of use are both exceptional.

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

My job requires me to perform engineering searches that's heavily focused on academic experience (PhD focus etc) And I really like how they pull information from sources like Github and PhD publications. This provide way more relevant and accurate search results

I'm not a fan of the monthly credit with email and phone number. Similar recruiting platforms (Entelo etc) provides that information for free

I like how user friendly the software is. I have been surprised on how many new candidates I am finding on LinkedIn through SeekOut than I was actually using LinkedIn.

Most emails provided for candidates are company emails and I am not allowed to send emails to other company's per firm policy.
