Could be great **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelly G. | Associate Sourcer, Technology, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2025 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** Ability to access email or phone numbers **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** We couldnt integrate into Linkedin recruiter or greenhouse due to security reasons so it was useless to me **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** accessing candidate contact information ### 2. Game Changer for Sourcing! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eric P. | Senior Digital and Technology Recruiter, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2022 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** I love the search capabilities within SeekOut. The Boolean function provides a lot of advanced searching techniques and their pre-made Power Filters take out some of the extra work needed to identify candidates. They have several pre-designed filters that make life easier to get very specific searches to be spot on with our needs with multiple candidates identified. I can then pair that up with the Messaging features to get in contact with candidates and help identify passive talent to garner interest within the A&F organization. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** Not much that I have to complain about. Since the platform is based on a candidate's public profiles they can be a bit out of date but normally not by much. Also with the email identification feature we do not always receive the right email for a candidate, but more often than not, it is the proper contact. **Recommendations to others considering SeekOut:** Great tool that has a lot of capabilities and features to help with sourcing needs. There also is a huge diversity metrics factor with SeekOut that is extremely helpful for insights about a role, organization, location, etc that help us keep it top of mind. Also, SeekOut works with its clients to create custom power filters which are helpful and tailored for our needs so we do not need to re-invent the wheel with every search. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** SeekOut has helped us identify unique and hard-to-find talent. There are also several insights that help us use data to tell a story and properly cater our searches moving forward, as well as identify companies that have the talent that we are targeting. There are a lot of diversity metrics within the platform that also help keep it top of mind. ### 3. My go to platform for sourcing all types of candidate profiles **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Anna C. | Senior Technical Sourcer @ Reality Labs Research at Meta, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** 1. Easy to use platform - it's super user friendly and I can see all the different options and features 2. Different features allowing you to source in a variety of ways - boolean, smart search, cloning, source by copying/pasting job description 3.

Greats filters that breakdown location, education, experience and other filters 6. Super responsive, friendly and helpful customer service - I've used the chat bot to ask for help mulitple times and I'm so impressed that I get a real human response and help within a few minutes. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** 1. The cloning and copy/paste job description to source features don't yield very relevant results for niche profiles, you have to play around with the filters some more, but that's okay! :) **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Talent mapping and diversity sourcing. ### 4. Amazing Sourcing Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Vanessa G. | Team Lead -Strategic Sourcing & Relationship Management - Novartis US, EMEA, MX, Canada, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 02, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** We have seekout for over a year and a half, this tool has improved our searches, we usually are assigned to niche roles, very complicated skills and seekout is always our first option to start our searches, it´s really easy to use, it has this amazing expert and healthcare options, we can improve and help into Diversity which is one of our big objectives. In this year only we have achieved over 16 offers accepted just from the Sourcing Team which is a really big number in terms of the specific roles we received! It´s always good to have thee support of the people i seekout, they help us in any of the searches, share tips to improve. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** Sometimes the data is not accurate with LinkedIn, we don´t find the profile or even the contact information is incorrect. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have improve our D&I hires, our searches are faster and we can find the information about studies or articles for each candidate in the same space. Seekout is always a helpful tool to find the best talent for our Niche roles and Senior positions, we use the tool as our primary one, due to the results we have. It´s a critical tool for our team! ### 5. Great resource for TA Professionals **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Victoria P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 21, 2023 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** I enjoy using this tool to find leads along with contact information. I appreciate the versatility of the filters and that it has diversity enhancements. I also like the time stamp of someone's last activity on LinkedIn and how enriched each other their profiles are. Great customer service and shout out to Josh for spending 30 minutes with me sourcing and helping me best utilize the platform with some tips and tricks. I really enjoy the People Analystics. It is fairly easily to use and appreciate I can do a candidate search easily capture the analytics of the search instead of having to use a separate platform. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I really don't like the amount of leads that do not have more recent contact information or when you select to review information but no information was available. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allowing me to source passive talent with diversity boosters. Can be challenging to identify diverse talent without data but Seek out has the data avaialble to properly boost diverse sourcing efforts through using the platform. ### 6. Favorite Sourcing Tool! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sofia V. | Diversity Talent Attraction Partner, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** My favorite parts about seekout are the many customizable filters and space for long boolean strings in the keyword box, the ease of viewing profiles and the way it connects to LinkedIn, and the ability to gather email addresses to avoid having to inmail candidates. I use this sourcing tool al the time and it's my favorite to use. Right now my current company doesn't have access to the diversity filters yet, but that absolutely used to be my favorite feature about Seekout in my past roles! **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** My only wish is that you could source by candidates open to work link on LI Recruiter. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easier to reach out directly to candidates via email instead of inmail. More effective in using detailed boolean strings than other platforms. ### 7. Great tech to find diverse entry talent **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** John H. | Manager, Recruiting - GTM, SE & Partner Ecosystem, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** My favorite part about Seekout is the ability to source diverse candidates. Working in tech, the talent pool of female to male is usually a 1 - 2 ratio, making it harder to find diverse talent. With a tool like Seekout, you can find the best diverse candidates, quickly!I also really like how detailed you can get on it's search features. I think it's better than the industry standard, Linkedin. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** I think their email messaging tool could have a bit better of UI/UX but it's still good. I compare it to other tools I've used and it looks a bit more old school than others. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** Seekout is helping us add more diverse talent to the front end of the hiring pipeline. The more talented diverse talent we enter into the pipeline, the better chances we have! ### 8. Not very helpful for contacting leads **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** 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. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** 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. **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to gain talent insights about a geographic area is helpful for my business in understanding the talent pools available in the current market. ### 9. Super Impressed with SeekOut Platform! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** 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. **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** 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! **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** SeekOut is finding me more qualified candidates and showing me exactly where the things I'm searching for are on the candidates resumes/profiles. This specifically is something other platforms are lacking in my opinion - they come up in the searrch but doesn't show me where. This is benefiting me tremendously beacuse it is cutting my sourcing time down by a lot. ### 10. Powerful tool for our sourcing needs! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Megan A. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2024 **What do you like best about SeekOut?** 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! **What do you dislike about SeekOut?** 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! **What problems is SeekOut solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's expensive to pay for every single job board out there. Having the results of all the job boards in one place is amazing! ## SeekOut Discussions - [What other tools can I use with SeekOut?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/15039-what-other-tools-can-i-use-with-seekout) - 1 comment, 2 upvotes - [Will seekout include prospects with private profiles in LinkedIn](https://www.g2.com/discussions/50615-will-seekout-include-prospects-with-private-profiles-in-linkedin) - 2 comments, 1 upvote - [Will there be a way for AI to conduct its own searches on its own searches?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/50433-will-there-be-a-way-for-ai-to-conduct-its-own-searches-on-its-own-searches) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [Can yo make messaging more like Word format](https://www.g2.com/discussions/34477-can-yo-make-messaging-more-like-word-format) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [How often is the data replenished?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/16085-how-often-is-the-data-replenished) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [View SeekOut pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/seekout/reviews/seekout-review-6550784?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-14+01%3A42%3A46+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=c3193f59-9365-4396-95a8-927ce639abe8&secure%5Btoken%5D=8ac3d07accf25412a5e9fe4913d12024e2fb37f902ff6a0f00b3a0658908db2b&format=llm_user) ## SeekOut Features **Platform Basics** - Interoperability - Performance - Reporting **Platform Basics** - Interoperability - Performance - Self-service - Automation **Platform Functionality** - Sourcing and Candidate Identification - Interview Scheduling - Applicant Tracking **Career pathing** - Employee Profiles - Career Paths **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Platform Data** - Platform Search - Visualization **Platform Data** - Platform Search - Dashboard - Alerts and Notifications - Analytics **Opportunity matching** - Opportunity Database - Opportunity Matching **Agentic AI - Recruiting Automation** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Platform Content** - Automation - Content Library **Platform Functionality** - Dashboard - Talent Management - Diversity - Talent Acquisition **Analytics and integrations** - Skills Analytics - Reporting - Integrations **Platform Additional Functionality** - Sourcing and Candidate Identification - Applicant Tracking - Unbiased Sourcing **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Dashboards **Agentic AI - Talent Intelligence** - Multi-step Planning - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Decision Making ## Top SeekOut Alternatives - [Eightfold AI](https://www.g2.com/products/eightfold-ai/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (194 reviews) - [Gem](https://www.g2.com/products/gem/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (265 reviews) - [hireEZ](https://www.g2.com/products/hireez/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (254 reviews)
