The upsides of Seekout are the easy search features. The platform returns many results for various search/boolean combinations. The Smart match and Duplicate features are also very helpful in generating results that match well. I also like the talent insights provided about a market area.

SeekOut does not do a very good job of providing valid contact information on the profiles returned. For example, I have run many searches where there are, lets say 150 profiles returned as a match for my search....however, only 50 or less have actual valid contact info. I can see that the person exists...but have literally no way of contacting them...which defeats my primary purpose for using seekout. I am a headhunter seeking hard to find candidates. SeekOut is only helpful for me in this endeavour about 25-30% of the time, due to the lack of contact information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SeekOut has made sourcing a dream for me and my team. We are all experienced recruiters who have sourced on all different platforms and SeekOut has quickly become one of our "go-to's". It allows us to find more canidates with more specific qualifications that we're looking for. It also allows us to create projects where we can "replicate" candidates that we like or even our current employees and find resume matches which is super helpful. I also like the GitHub feature, I've never used a feature like that before so it has been super cool to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside, which really isn't a flaw on SeekOut as it is a problem with compatability with my company's system. I am not able to use the email campaigns feature due to my Microsoft email account not letting me log in through SeekOut. But, like I said, this is not SeekOut's fault at all, but it would be super cool if it worked. I just send the emails out myself instead of using the mass email feature!

I really like the fact that SeekOut pulls from everything in order to create profiles of candidates. It's not limited to just one job board. I love that candidates' LinkedIn profiles are linked so we can easily click and message from our accounts. The new Outreach feature makes candidate contacting and email campaigns seamless. Really enjoying the platform! And the customer service is amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some aspects are still a little buggy, but as soon as the issue is brought to the attention of the team, they work to correct it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite aspects of SeekOut are the ability to get validated contact information, as well as export candidates into either .pdf profiles or listing them on an excel spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While a potentially nice feature, the Insights are often a bit too broad whenever needing very esoteric data for niche roles within highly specialized industries such as biologics, gene therapy, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

good candidate reach in multiple countries in APAC region, especially where Indeed or LinkedIn is not as widely used. I've been using this tool to help source candidates in India. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's not free and the cost depends on your home country versus the ability to toggle between paying for the posting in the country(ies) where it will be posted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the most helpful aspect of SeekOut is the helpful capability of removing unconscious bias. Despite any attempts otherwise, bias CAN seep into your sourcing. SeekOut has a variety of tools at your disposal to pull a curtain over those potential prejudices and consider candidates strictly based on their merit and credentials. Moreover, it is fairly easy to use. Linkedin has a number of similar types of seach functionalities, but the Power Filters readily enable dynamic searches with little effort. The tool is mostly seamless in it's integration with our ATS, as you can import candidate profiles with their phone numbers and contact info--all while tying them to specific requisitions within the ATS. It is fairly convenient. I find myself reaching for SeekOut OR even it's Chrome extension which lets me pull contact info from Linkedin searches directly. I probably use it 3 or 4 times a week despite having a Linkedin Recruiter seat. Moreover, when I was ramping up on how to use the tool, what the capabilities were, how the algorithm was searching based on what I was inputting, the customer chat feature connected me with a knowledgeable, capable support specialist. She did end up needing to escalate some of my queries because I was keen to understand precisely where SeekOut was pulling the information at a granular level so I wasn't precluding certain candidates from my search by adding search terms or filters--or if I was, that I was at least aware that I was doing it.

I think the panel to view the SeekOut profile has a ton of helpful information, but my natural instinct is to pull up the Linkedin profile from the view. I wish there was perhaps something a bit more intuitive about the candidate profile when you are on the search page, but I'm not sure if I am going to Linkedin because I'm accustomed to it from years of recruiting--or if I am typically finding the info I need more quickly. I don't know what, if anything, would make it more helpful on the SeekOut side in terms of how info is displayed, what is displayed, how it is organized... but it is one of those things that you intuit and know based on how you use it. I think it could also be more convenient if the Smart Search, which let's you get a quick candidate pool with relative ease, could also NARROW/REFINE those parameters with Boolean, i.e. under the additional search options--if you could just add a boolean field. Otherwise, you have to switch between smart search and boolean. Sometimes, I've got the candidates I want largely in the field, but I may want to do something more semantic in the searching with something that isn't necessarily a skill those is going to populate on a Linkedin skills list. It just doesn't seem like a stretch to have that as something you could add in to narrow your candidate pool while using the Smart Search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing is it made so easier to review CV's across the world. Now your recruitment is not limited to only your country, it helps in expanding the learning curve. The diversity tab, the usage report weekwise, monthwise, the messaging credits, emailing the candidate, getting passive candidate contact details, every is so easy and user-friendly to navigate the tool.

The best job portal ever I have come across, no limitation at all and its so user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its all going very well with SeekOut, it is so user friendly. Couldnt find anything lacking right now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer service, the ability to find quality passive candidates, power filters, DEI filters, incredible boolean search abilities, and overall ease of use! The continued training and accessibility to customer support are spectacular. It really is the best sourcing tool that I have ever used! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about Seekout. It really is an amazing resource with great customer service and an amazing AI to find the talent needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One advantage is that it provides email & phone for many candidates. Also, the built-in AI is superior to LinkedIn's version. Customer service is much better, too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think they are working on improving the candidate messaging features. I've worked with it for a couple of years and have seen continual improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Seekout has some filters to help sort candidate demographics- if you're doing diversity recruiting, Linkedin's search limitations mean you have to do a ton of different Booleans for the tool to be able to capture enough data to be useful. Seekout does make it slightly easier to figure out what you're looking at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seekout doesn't have enough filters. It's relying too heavily on Linkedin's data, which is self-reported by candidates and often missing, incorrect or outdated.

Compared to tools that have ai features and can find data from across the web, Seekout's search results are only slightly better than Linkedin's in my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
