SeekOut
About SeekOut
SeekOut is a cloud-based recruiting solution designed to help businesses automate processes related to candidate hiring. The artificial intelligence (AI) enabled platform lets recruiting agencies receive candidate recommendations based on job descriptions.
Key features of SeekOut include resume parsing, candidate management, collaboration tools, resume search, and a self-service portal. It uses Boolean search technology to locate various types of candidate profiles, such as public, GitHub, and subject matter experts. Detailed information can be viewed about candidate experience, software development contributions, research papers, patents, and conference presentations.
SeekOut allows recruiters to use Power Filters to sort candidate profiles based on security clearance, in-demand roles, specific companies, and work authorization status.
SeekOut comes with a Blind Hiring Mode, which lets users source talent based on skills and experience by hiding information such as race, gender, or ethnicity. Teams can also generate reports in order to gain diversity insights, view available roles, and measure the company’s performance against competitors.

Seekout as a Talent Intelligence Platform
Reviewed on 2020/03/26
Pros
My favorite use of Seekout is as a talent intelligence tool. My second favorite use is to help find/augment data from preexisting lists.
Cons
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.

SeekOut is Great for building diverse pipelines
Reviewed on 2022/03/29
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

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

I really enjoy using this product, from the availability of the liaisons at Seekout, to the ability to create power filters, to the DEI search functions, as well as the ability to search on other platforms (ie. github, meetups, linkedin, etc).
Pros
The ability to source with power filters and DEI functions.
Cons
The load times can take a while, and occasionally I need to refresh halfway through building a search.

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
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
