Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use SeekOut to find passive candidates to pass along to clients and recruiters to reach out to. As far as I know, we don't have any problems with SeekOut other than the profiles not always being up to date. I use SeekOut several times a week and so do roughly half the employees here.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Searches various industries
Diversity searches
Displays profiles in a way that makes it easy to read over them quickly before bothering to click on them

Cons

Sometimes SeekOut pulls people that have nothing to do with my searches/Boolean strings
SeekOut is not always up to date as far as Years of Experience
SeekOut often pulls people who are currently not at the companies their profiles initially say they are.

Return on Investment

Good for diversity searches
Makes finding tech people very easy
Not so great for go to market searches

Support Rating

I've never used support from SeekOut.

Alternatives Considered

Linkedin Recruiter and Crunchbase

I like SeekOut because I generally find more candidates in a timely manner.
