Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SeekOut to help expand our sourcing reach. The business problem that SeeKout addresses for us is sourcing diverse candidates. We use SeekOut to explore different types of candidates that might not necessarily show up on LinkedIn. We are able to cast a wider next and it addresses our needs by really expanding on the search.

Pros and Cons

Pros

SeekOut automatically initiates a good search when you use the clone feature
SeekOut's searches are highly customizable
SeekOut will do well at using your feedback on candidates by changing the search as needed

Cons

SeekOut isn't always able to connect to LinkedIn on some candidates
When you clone a candidate, it is sometimes difficult to widen the location
I'd like to see an option for just US candidates as whole, not all of North America

Return on Investment

Increased diversity. SeekOut makes it easy to source for diversity.

We have a SeekOut CSM who is very helpful in trainings and sharing up to date tips/tricks and features with us. He is always keep us in the loop about how to get the most out of SeekOut.

Likelihood to Recommend

SeekOut is well suited if you want to get a gauge of the candidate market for a specific role. The breakdown and data that SeekOut provides on a specific search is very helpful. It is easy to see what the breakdown of location, title, gender, race, etc. would be.

It is a little hard to do outreach on SeekOut as some of the contact information might not be up-to-date or it doesn't always connect to LinkedIn.
