SeekOut and better yourself **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jacob D. | Recruiter, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** SeekOut is a great tool to pair with LinkedIn and other recruiting resources. If you are trying to source for diversity specifically, SeekOut is the superior tool to use. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I think SeekOuts suggestions and UI are a bit overcomplicated, there are a ton of features and filters that navigating it can be overwhelming but once you grasp everything, you can be very effective. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Diversity sourcing is the first thing that comes to mind. It's so easy and intuitive on SeekOut vs LinkedIn, Indeed, or others. And it covers the many facets of diversity ### 2. Very powerful. With practice, you can become a sourcing expert **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** The Github searching capabilities are very helpful for tech and engineering roles. It allows you to find candidates you normally wouldn't from other sites. The power-filters, both in public search but especially for Github searching, are very powerful. The diversity filters have a good success rate compared to other tools with the same feature. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** The design could be more user-friendly. Keyword searching can get complicated to learn and there is no shortcut or easy way to add extra/blank spaces in the keyword search box. The power-filters can override other filters or keywords you are searching for if used simultaneously without knowing what is affected. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** Seekout can work great for whatever your sourcing needs are. Very strong for engineering roles with its Github search capabilities. If you can receive training or learn advanced Boolean/search tactics, you will be able to curate a very strong list and build robust pipelines quickly. If you or your team are lacking in your Boolean search game, you may need to refresh before using as you get the best results from Seekout using their keyword/Boolean search functionality. If not, Seekout's built-in filters and power-filters can still make it easy for a novice to use. You will have access to a large amount of candidate's contact information. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can target a large pool of candidates with many options at my fingertips. It is especially great for broad roles by helping you narrow down the list to the top candidates with all the different filters and capabilities. Using the advanced keyword searching tactics, I'm able to curate a stronger list that I would be able to get with other tools. I am also to generate many emails through Seekout's database and different tools they use to populate contact information. ### 3. My experience with Seekout has helped me to access more diverse profiles. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** I like the AI matching ability that helps to create calibration lists. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I don't like that the already viewed profiles only shrink rather than disappear. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like that it is making more filters around location to better target candidates. **Official Response from Ed Pedini:** > Thanks for sharing your experience with SeekOut!

Expanding Recruiting Tech Stack **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** I enjoy the diversity tags and power filters that can be used in Seekout. It's nice to get access to candidate's email addresses rather than just their LinkedIn profile on LinkedIn and can be a better way to reach some candidates. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I think Seekout's messaging feature and user experience needs some development. I don't think it is a super user-friendly, intuitive platform and the messaging feature can be frustrating to use understanding who is in a campaign and navigating where to see their responses. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** It is a great supplemental tool, but don't expect it to replace LinkedIn Recruiter **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is more cost-effective than a LinkedIn recruiter seat, but I don't think it's quite at the point to replace it, but rather be a nice supplemental too for diversity sourcing to have in your recruiting tech stack ### 5.

The tool is easy to learn and integrates well with LinkedIn. The messaging tools also help in being persistent with hard to reach talent. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** It takes a minute or two to forget that it's not LinkedIn. The filters aren't as intuitive and the LinkedIn messaging is an extra couple of steps. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quickly finding D&I talent. Identifying Tech Talent that's not obvious or on LinkedIn. ### 10.

Great for diversity sourcing! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** The ability to search for diversity, adding in job titles and the "similar title" feature are great. Having the ability to pull email addresses for candidates is great as well. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** The tags are not always accurate, and I'll receive candidates in my search who do not actually match what I put into my search. The years of experience can get a little off as well based on whether or not school exp counts. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** I would suggest saving searches so you don't have to go in and re-enter your searches each time you log in. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to pull emails helps gain a direct way of reaching out to the candidate instead of messaging through another site like LinkedIn. The direct link to LinkedIn is also helpful. ### 12.

When you think about a CRm system that use AI component to search the best talent, there's nothing like this out there. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** One thing that I dislike about seekout is that it's not integreated with our Beamery platform. We use Beamery at AMazon as out ont true data source for keeping track of candidate experience. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** Please give it it try. Everything new is hard to use at first but Seekout has a great team ready to do 1 on 1 training with you. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** The problem I am solving is that talent pool is become saturated and we need to seek out new source for identifying new talent in the market.

SeekOut is great for D&I sourcing **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 16, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** The UI is friendly and feels a bit less busy than LinkedIn Recruiter. In addition, the abililty to source specifically for underrepresented candidates is an excellent feature. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I wish you could open up a profile directly into LinkedIn Recruiter from the SeekOut results. You currently have to open up their public profile first and reopen it in LI Recruiter. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I believe the biggest problem being solved is creating more opportunities for underrepresented candidates. SeekOut makes it easy to target underrepresented candidates specifically. ### 17. Seekout is the app to use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** Extremely useful for IT recruiters like myself. I have found thousands of excellent candidates; the search is easy to use, intuitive, fast, and navigate. The messages campaigns are effective; you can see the LinkedIn profile, get the emails and phone numbers from candidates. If you want to fill a job vacancy, seek out is the app to use. I recommend it. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** In the email campaigns, I get a lot of bounce emails with the fail delivery status, and you take the credit for that. I do not think it is fare you get the credit for a fail delivery status email. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** Make sure you are looking for the correct candidate; take a look at their linkedin profile before asking for the email or phone, because seekout will credit you either if the email or phone is wrong. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can find more accurate candidates with the skills I need for my vacancies; there is a large and bast pipeline. ### 18. A very helpful and resourceful tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Semiconductors | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** As a recruiter, we need to be able to quickly find candidates' contact information, this tool pulls from countless social media profiles and more often than not, has accurate contact information in the form of an email, phone number, or other social media profiles that I can use to reach out to someone that I'm trying to get in contact with. The search function is very useful and very easy to use and even allows for proximity boolean searches. I find myself utilizing Seekout as a first place to begin my searches. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I dislike the fact that sometimes the profiles are outdated or do not have accurate contact info/Seekout stores old contact info that is no longer relevant. The good thing is that you're able to submit comments/feedback to the tool about issues such as this. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Seekout allows me to quickly pull contact information with the click of a button - which saves countless amount of hours that one can spend trying to search for contact information online or through search engines. Overall, Seekout makes our jobs easier with an intuitive layout and time-saving features. ### 19.

Great (Diversity) Recruiting Tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Electronics | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** I'm a big fan of the demographic data that SeekOut provides. I also love the ability to sort, export, and dissect your searches to really understand what the available talent pool looks like and love that it exports in a format that is easy to understand and is shareable with the hiring managers that you may be supporting. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** Every product/tool has a downside to someone, so I'm sure there is something that could be improved upon; but honestly, nothing is coming to mind at the moment. It's a great tool. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm able to view the available talent pool and easily understand where talent is located, along with their demographic information. It helps to take the guessing out of diversity sourcing. ### 22.

Beamery integration & Lever (ATS). I like the power tool & multiple filtering options. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I'm not too fond that when you review profiles, it opens a separate tab in LinkedIn and not via Recruiter.

SeekOut Review, could be better! **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** Love the access to all of the email addresses and access into clicks, responses, etc. things like that that help us to figure out what is working. Love the option to send on behalf of our hiring managers and the fact it can all be automated. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** The messaging tool leaves a lot to be desired. Since the tool doesn't pick up changes to a candidate's profile right away, the tokens don't always work well. This could include sending a message that makes mention of a past company or role. It also picked up an emoji the candidate had added to their name, which looks unprofessional on our end when you say hi (emoji). I've also run into the issue of thinking I was emailing one candidate, but I had reached out to someone else instead. It makes you look unprofessional. We've also been told that the tool scrapes the profiles every two months or so, but I often run into the issue of seeing someone on the tool then I click into LinkedIn, but the person could have changed their job years ago. It also doesn't seem to pick up on LinkedIn url changes as it will direct me to profiles that no longer exist. No way to customize a reach out in a sequence to personalize something maybe the candidate mentions in their LinkedIn summary. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not only using LinkedIn as our one sourcing and reach out tool - SeekOut has access from all over the web from where it is pulling from. Also not only relying on InMails. Also being able to use the hiring manager as a source to attract candidates by being able to send on their behalf without having to have them manage the process of reaching out as SeekOut will automate that. Candidates are more likely to respond to hiring managers. ### 38. Very good experience. Relatively young platform, can't wait to see improvements **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** The filters, the boolean search function is really useful, and I love how the platform is so open to helping its users use their tool as efficiently and effectively as possible. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** Not being able to contact prospects who don't have contact info. We end up having to save their profile to a project on LinkedIn and then message them from their which is a lot of extra steps. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** On a lot of platforms it is hard to combine different filters with booleans, keywords, and be effective and find the people you are looking for. Seekout really helps with this. The results are much more accurate and it is able to find great candidates from all over. ### 39. Great experience with Seekout **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** I can find profiles that are not Linkedin users or I can make messaging campaings to get in touch with as many people as possible Diversity filters are great for making a diverse search **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** That it is not synchronized with Linkedin, and I can get in touch with people who have already been in touch by my colleagues - To make sure that we don't duplicate work, I need to access every profile and check it. It would be awesome if there would be a hint somewhere that shows this info without access to their profiles. Also, for sourcing in Spain, there are not many github's profiles **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Get in touch with many people at the same time and following up with different emails Find profiles that are not in Linkedin DIVERSITY FILTERS ARE A-W-E-S-O-M-E! ### 40.

Great tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** Great tool for targeted sourcing by companies and sectors and very useful for diversity sourcing.

Seek Out = Game Changer **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Semiconductors | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** Seek Out is simply the best tool on the market today. I can find candidates in Seek Out that I have been unable to find using similar tools. I am particularly impressed with the diversity filters and the insight tools, as well as their customer care. Their insight reports were a surprise to me! These reports are straightforward to use, and they provide on point data to help us visually tell the story of what we are seeing in the market and are a valuable resource to share with our leadership and hiring teams. I feel with Seek Out that I have an extended team ready to jump in and help at any time! **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I have yet to be able to use the messaging feature due to our companies email integration permissions. I am excited to get this feature to work but for now am disappointed it doesn't. Our Seek Out Representative has been very active in working with me as we resolve the issue. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** I highly recommend Seek Out; it is a game-changer for any recruiter or sourcer, regardless of their skill level. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am finding very hard to surface niche candidates from various sources, including Git Hub, which I have always found a little time-consuming to search. Seek Out puts these candidates easily in reach in a way that is fast, simple, and effecient. ### 45. User-friendly **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2021 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** It is very easy to use and there are a lot of options you can use with this software such as insights and ratings of their online profiles. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I don't really like sometimes it only shows a limited # of candidates. I rather they just show all the candidate matches at once after calibration. Otherwise, it's not that bad overall. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** My team is using it to source passive candidates for technical roles such as development. I haven't seen much benefits so far since our team is so busy interviewing but we have a Talent Sourcer now who will use it extensively. ### 46.
