One of its most useful features is the ability to export profiles in bulk to an Excel file. When several recruiters were sourcing for the same position, we could divide the exported profiles among the team and avoid repeatedly reviewing or contacting the same candidates. The interface is intuitive and easy to learn. Its AI-assisted search can also be helpful for junior recruiters, beginners, or people conducting less complex searches. > > **Cons**: SeekOut was expensive, and the cost was prohibitive for a smaller company such as the one I worked at. They eventually stopped using and the cost was the deciding factor. I also did not find the AI search particularly useful for my own work. I prefer to build searches manually because it gives me more control over the criteria and results. However, this is more a matter of working style than a major problem with the platform. > > I used SeekOut for approximately two years, primarily for candidate sourcing rather than outreach. My overall experience was very positive. The platform was easy to learn, offered reliable and detailed filters, and supported complex searches without making the process unnecessarily difficult. The bulk export functionality was particularly valuable when multiple recruiters worked on the same role, as it allowed us to divide profiles clearly and prevent duplicated sourcing work. Although I preferred manual searches over its AI functionality, I could see the AI search being useful for less experienced recruiters or simpler assignments. I had no major usability complaints. The primary disadvantage was the price, which eventually led my company to discontinue the platform. ----- ### "The Evolution of a Great Talent Sourcing Tool" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 March 2020* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: SeekOut is a product that has done their background research on what the talent acquisition marketplace needed. They listened and made the improvements the market requested. Now as the organization has evolved, SeekOut is not anticipating and leading in innovation in this key software segment. Specifically, what I like about SeekOut is the ability to aggregate data from Linkedin Public Profiles with other social sites like GitHub. I am particularly enjoying the SeekOut expert and other features that facilitate original research on target talent. > > **Cons**: I am skeptical about the ability of AI-based on the limited information contained on a LinkedIn public profile to be robust enough to really make a positive impact. The beauty of AI is its ability to process big data and make recommendations based on parsing lots of information. Also, I find there are about 15-20% fewer people with public LinkedIn profiles that are found on LinkedIn's own platforms. Finding a way to add those missing profiles would be an added addition. Finally, increasing the number of home email addresses fro the target talent is an ongoing challenge. While improvements are made, this might be an area where AI can shine. > > I have used SeekOut as a tool to augment information about target talent audiences. SeekOut's ability to aggregate social data has been a game-changer. SeekOut Expert has been a valuable addition to its offering. SeekOut insights have been valuable in terms of visualizing information that illustrates trends that TA leadership values. Finally, SeekOut's ability to integrate with our CRM has been extremely valuable. ----- ### "Best recruiting software" — 5.0/5 > **Asheesh** | *20 September 2022* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use seekout is very user friendly,AI Match is the best tool to get your hands on at the moment , Love the diversity search results its populate > > **Cons**: only linkedin results are not enough , add more sources like dice/monster. > > Nice ----- ### "SeekOut Basic Review" — 4.0/5 > **Russ** | *17 March 2020* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are several features that the basic version has that we find very useful: - Filters for searches - Ability to exclude/include companies, titles, skills in searching - search down to the city area level - Being able to quickly create projects for searches - Finding contact information (personal emails, some ph \#'s and even work emails) - The AI Recommendation of candidates once a project has been established. Great source of additional candidates possbilities. > > **Cons**: It doesn't integrate with ATS's ... at least not at the basic user level. It does allow for CMS file creation but has a limited \# of pre-mapped tables you can use with other tools (11 in total). This could definitely be improved. Also, direct integration would be an improvement where you could send candidates into your ATS directly without downloading. There seems to be a growing number of outdated profiles in the system. SeekOuts database needs to be updated more often. > > SeekOut has provided our company with a great source of candidates and direct contact information and is a good tool for creating and maintaining talent pools. I've used it to support a client in their contract staffing needs (IT Consulting Co.) very well. ----- ### "SeekOut is awesome for technical searches" — 5.0/5 > **Melisa** | *25 October 2021* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Search algorithm accurately identifies more candidates than other software we've used > > **Cons**: Resume search from internet; this only really enables us to import LinkedIn profiles vs. resumes from personal websites, etc. Also, getting from the project to the campaign is clunky - I wish you could add to the campaigns like you can to the projects. > > Phenomenal software, very easy to use, great algorithms for tough searches ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/46153/seekout?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/46153/seekout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
