Considered Both Products
Entelo
Chose Entelo
Entelo is similar to SeekOut in general, but I prefer Entelo as I find I have more success finding the candidates I am looking for. It has everything I need and then some, and that is what I like about it. I also love the Chrome extension and its ease of use.
Chose Entelo
Entelo stacks up very well and I would recommend if you are looking for something more than LinkedIn. One of the best tools to source candidates.
Chose Entelo
This is the only automated sourcing tool I've used.
Chose Entelo
I have used Linkedin Talent/Recruiter for years but one significant advantage that Entelo has is the fact that you can obtain candidate personal contact info and tracking of any emails you sent. I felt when I was recruiting for engineers, any Inmails I would send would not be …
Chose Entelo
Not as comprehensive as Linkedin Talent but does provide more insight into candidates experience and skills. However this is something we find out about candidates through our software so not critical for entelo to provide this to us.
Chose Entelo
No we have not explored other alternatives.
Chose Entelo
I've used and demoed several products of which I've used the below;

-Connectifier (solid tool but limited actionable activities)
Chose Entelo
I have used Scavado and it is helpful, but, Entelo is much more targeted and lets me keep track of what I'm doing and who I'm sending e-mails. I wish it would tell me if I've looked at a profile before and there are some candidates that seem to be uncontactable through Entelo, …
Chose Entelo
We've also used Mixmax and ZenSourcer, which are better for automatic follow-ups, but Entelo's product is improving quickly and we're sticking with it for now.
Chose Entelo
Hiretual and Entelo have very similar sourcing capabilities. They pull from the same data sources and are able to find personal and professional contact information. Hiretual is superior for sourcing Facebook and Entelo has the email product(Hiretual doesn't have one) to be …
Chose Entelo
No other platform I have used has the quality and usability of Entelo. Each has one specific feature that doesn't interact well with others. This has many helpful features in a single, trackable resource.
Indeed Resume
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed Resume is by far the most popular product we use to recruit new talent. This is where everyone is and is the most widely known. I can have some luck with the other platforms, but nothing like Indeed Resume. As a Recruiter for a large organization, we needed a versatile …
Chose Indeed Resume
I like that on LinkedIn jobs I can skip directly to candidates profiles to learn more about them
Chose Indeed Resume
Because in terms of the profile we are looking for, the targeted population is more present on Indeed than on LinkedIn, also responsiveness is significantly better.
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed Resume has been far, far superior to ZipRecruiter. I would not recommend the ZipRecruiter resume database to anyone.
Chose Indeed Resume
On all three of these, we can see the contact info and not have to send an email in hopes the candidate responds that they are interested before we can see the info. This to me is a barrier and a huge waste of time considering we are in a tech world where everyone is emailing …
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed Resume is consistent and comparatively easier to use. Moreover, being a user or business owner, everyone looks for a cost-effective option to fulfill their needs. Indeed Resume serves the purpose on a low budget. The greatest thing about this tool is that it offers …
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed is one of my top picks from these competitors because of the quality of candidates we find from Indeed. The resumes are more detailed, the response rate is higher, and there's a larger candidate pool for many positions we look for. I like that Indeed provides a resume …
Chose Indeed Resume
I have not evaluated or used any other products at this time to have an honest comparison.
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed works better for the entry-level roles we are searching for, we find LinkedIn is for higher-level leadership roles. However, Indeed does have a wider variety in general, of all types of roles and skillsets. I've found more luck finding entry-level job seekers on Indeed …
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed allows us to post jobs for free and not pay per posting. We always seem to get more qualified candidates on Indeed than any other site.
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed Resume offers a lot more credibility to the recruiters as the email sent to the candidate is via Indeed, and also Indeed follows up with the candidates on the recruiter's behalf; if the candidate doesn't respond with positive or negative interest. Indeed database of …
Chose Indeed Resume
We use Indeed as part of our tools, but it is becoming increasingly more of that marketing budget
Chose Indeed Resume
UKG Ready does not give us the same exposure that posting directly through Indeed does. We don't understand why and no one seems to be able to fix it. This is the greatest frustration we face, in that our candidates are not automatically being added to our HRIS ATS.
Chose Indeed Resume
It was selected for me. I find it stacks up well just because Indeed is a commonly used resource for employers and job seekers. Its functionality leaves a lot to be desired, it does not have features that an ordinary word processor might. It is a useful tool if you advertise …
Chose Indeed Resume
In truth, we have stuck with Indeed Resume and have not ventured off yet due to the power and simplicity that we have with this single tool. The various aspects of this one tool allow us to simplify our recruit stack so we don't need a variety of tools, thus decreasing the time …
Chose Indeed Resume
I have received more candidates from Indeed than I have from other platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn jobs. It seems like there are many more candidates that are reachable through Indeed Resume. I have only hired 1 or 2 candidates from these other platforms as compared to …
Chose Indeed Resume
I think Indeed Resume and ZipRecruiter are pretty comparable products. I ultimately prefer Indeed Resume for flexibility. If I have one critical position to fill I can pour my entire budget into that one role and ensure that it gets maximum visibility (within my budget …
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed is typically superior to most others, it is just so widely used in amongst the general population. I think LinkedIn Jobs is going to be the winner when it comes to the higher level, executive roles. I believe Monster was going to get an update, but I don't hear of many …
Chose Indeed Resume
Dice allows you to have a much more detailed search on some fairly important features like relocation preference, work authorization, compensation expectations. Dice also shares contact information which allows us to connect with candidates quicker than Indeed does. Indeed has …
Chose Indeed Resume
We post positions for candidates to apply to the positions. We immediately respond with a very basic, specific, and factual questionnaire to identify [the] minimum required skills then review to map to our requirements. We additionally search and reach out to candidates to …
Chose Indeed Resume
From my experience, Indeed Resume has a vast number of resumes and other companies can't seem to have the same number of quality resumes.
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed Resume typically sources less professional candidates. People on LinkedIn are more apt to respond for professional level positions.
Chose Indeed Resume
Indeed Resume is far more cost effective than their competition. Their ease of use on both the recruiter & candidate side is unparalleled. I like the messaging within the system, because it guarantees no spam for the candidates & which automatically increases recruiter …

User Testimonials
EnteloIndeed Resume
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for reaching out to passive candidates and standing out instead of using LI. Candidates are used to receiving the same messages in the same format and by using this tool we have the chance to mix it up and try and stand out from our competition. Entelo has been an awesome addition to my toolbox
Read full review
Indeed Resume has been well suited in areas where there is not a lot of traction or candidates to apply. It has been less appropriate in heavier areas where there are many more candidates available to apply on their own without the invite or having to search for their resume.

Pros
  • Email Tracking. You are able to track your open rates, click-thru rates, and reply rates of your email campaigns. This allows you to a/b test different subject lines and bodies of emails to see what really works.
  • Find personal email addresses. Of all the tools that I use Entelo has the highest success rate of finding personal email addresses of candidates. I would say they hit on about 70-80% of the candidates I want to contact and that number increases for tech talent.
  • Entelo pulls from many different data sources across the web to create an Entelo profile of the candidate. You are able to source all these different sources from one platform.
  • You can filter out candidates that are already on one of your Lists (think Projects on LInkedIn Recruiter), previously contacted, previously viewed, founders, and recruiters which is great so you aren't running through the same candidates over and over again. They also have many of the other normal filters likes company, education, company size, etc.
  • They recently launched a new product, Envoy. Entelo Envoy uses artificial intelligence and deep learning to automatically find, nurture and deliver interested job candidates directly to the email inboxes of recruiters.

  • It uses boolean search functionality, which allows me to target specific candidates
  • I like that it shows me how long it's been since someone has been active on Indeed
  • The messaging functionality to reach out to candidates and have them respond back to you is very user-friendly

Cons
  • Sourcing through Entelo's candidate database is more limited than looking for candidates on LinkedIn.
  • Sometimes profiles are stale on Entelo's database so I would have to look elsewhere to find the updated information.
  • The database is not a great source for non engineering profiles.
Read full review
  • I find it does not always recommend the best resumes to invite to the job we are recruiting for, based off the experience needed or job titles in the candidates resume
  • I don't like how invites don't roll over into a new month if you don't use all of them in a said period of time.

For at least the time being, this appears to be where the talent is. They do an awesome job of getting the right jobs to candidates. As a user of the product for myself in the past the jobs that it sends me are 100x better than other tools

Usability

Overall it is the best product for quick searching and sourcing, but it is costly and prices continue to increase each budget year. We will continue to use it as it gives us the best conversion rate for finding candidates and hiring them over any other job page out there right now.

This tool allows you to do so much for such an affordable rate. If you want to scoop up your competition's talent, you can filter searches for resumes for people who have or currently work at their business. You can also you Bollinger searches for individuals who have experience with a specific type or word. And my favorite, you can set up search criteria that alert you of any new resumes with specific criteria so you are first to reach out. Highly Recommend.

I have used LinkedIn Talent/Recruiter for years but one significant advantage that Entelo has is the fact that you can obtain candidate personal contact info and tracking of any emails you sent. I felt when I was recruiting for engineers, any Inmails I would send would not be read by the candidate, since many recruiters tend to bombard technical candidates with multiple inmails. With Entelo, you feel like your email isn't lost in a crowd since there is a tracking mechanism and the notification of when a candidate opens an email is great! I selected Entelo because of the ease of use, the functionality of tracking emails and contact info. I have sourced many candidates using the platform and I'm very happy! I will continue using Entelo in my recruiting efforts. I highly recommend to any recruiting department that relies heavily in sourcing candidates.

Return on Investment
  • It has made it quicker for me to source for multiple roles thanks to Envoy
  • We were able to make a placement using its browser extension to find a candidate's email address
  • Has given me weekly reports to understand some A/B testing regarding candidate reach out
Read full review
  • Some managers reported decreased time spent searching for applicants.
  • This is another site to check for applications.
  • If you want to make it work for you, it can: decrease time to hire, increase candidate responsiveness, but you are missing out on a large section of applicants, thus decreasing your applicant quantity and quality.
