hireEZ vs. SeekOut

hireEZ is well suited to small to midsize companies in my experience. For companies with minimal budget they will negotiate better terms for a longer contract. You also control the number of seats you pay for and the type. It is basically a la carte pricing.

Diversity teams use this, and powerfilters are very helpful. When looking for volume, Seek out other terms to find relevant profiles well. For example, it might map other candidates with similar terms at the end of the pool search. Also, the bias reducer filter helps make sure there is less bias towards a hiring manager and the recruiters.

• Talent sourcing aggregate (known by Hiretual as AI Sourcing).
• Custom insights based on search criteria.
• Contact information & social link retrieval.
• Applicant Tracking System Integration -- At OnPoint we use Lever as our ATS. Hiretual allows us to export candidate data directly into our ATS and associate said candidates to a specific requisition, & in a specific stage.

• SeekOut highlights diverse talent well. I love that I can filter to view Women in Technology, for example.
• The platform's UI is easy to use and the integration with LinkedIn is superb.
• The ability to run messaging campaigns in a quick and easy format saves both time and effort.

• I have come across many duplicate profiles that could cause me to contact the same person twice in a short period.
• Doesn’t have an “undo” button for if I accidentally mark a candidate as “not a good fit”
• Their “variables” used in creating email templates don’t function optimally. If you use “candidate last name”, and the person has a title, it will use the title instead of name. For example… I sent an email to a doctor and it sent as “Dr. MD”. Not ideal.

Incentivized

• Geographical location search (ex: having the filter be 50 miles radius and we are getting candidates in other countries)
• Not one candidate has been hired in our company using SeekOut
• Other than providing diversity filters, they do not have set ethnicities for the tech industries like other AI companies do

The benefits of a larger universe of candidates and automating recognition of talent we cannot hire, hireEZ has been a big time saver just as a sourcing tool

This platform tends to give you applicants who are not necessarily looking for new opportunities. I have had people be upset that I contacted them or sought them out on LinkedIn. This can be troublesome when the only thing I am trying to do is find qualified applicants. I need active people, who dont mind a cold call

I am a user of three years and have seen the features grow over time. I love how responsive the team is when there is an issue and their willingness to work towards a feature request is unmatched. I also find the accuracy of the data is comparable if not better than most competitors

Using SeekOut is very intuitive. Lots of multi-select boxes, toggle switches, and keyword boxes. If you have any experience with LinkedIn Recruiter, SeekOut is not a far jump in learning how to use it effectively. I will say that adding candidates to projects doesn't necessarily feel like an intuitive process after you've been redirected to LinkedIn to look at a candidate's profile

Both my account representative and the founding partner have reached out to me proactively to offer assistance and my account manager has been very responsive on the rare occasions when I have required assistance. I would highly recommend Hiretual to recruiters if they are "over" LinkedIn. It is a terrific tool!

We have not needed to get in touch with the support team during our time using SeekOut because someone else in our company takes care of that matter. Overall, we have been very satisfied with the ease of use and self-sufficiency of SeekOut and have not found the need to contact the support team.

We had an online tarining with all the recruiters. The trainer was very good, and enthusiast as well. He explained everything very detailed, showed how to search which kind of functions are in Seekout. He showed the program by using examples of search. We could ask questions at the end, and he told that we can contact him any time.

Once the licenses were purchased we were sent an email to activate our account. From there we had full access to the platform and a training was set up. Since I had used SeekOut previously I understood the dynamics of the platform and was able to use it instantly.

I think they are very similar but different in their own right. LinkedIn Recruiter is what most of grew our careers on and are familiar with. The negative with them is there really has not been many updates with them over the years and it seems their system is getting less reliable every day with crashes or glitches. hireEZ has constantly done updates and added new features that make the experience better for the user. Also the functionalities are different and useful for what we do at our company.

While I have not evaluated any other products similar to SeekOut, I am aware Hireology, Entelo, GEM, and others. We have not gone down the path to review these as for now SekOut has covered most of objectives needed. The information provided for both email and phone, along with diversity settings to search have been very helpful for our team.

• The deployment of Hiretual allowed us to reduce our spend via LinkedIn (as it sources from LinkedIn) by 6 figures. It's been a game changer.
• Some of our projects on Hiretual have been so successful that we've been able to close out hard to fill roles much faster than the benchmark for those roles.
• Hiretual is not just a vendor for us, it is also a key partner and trusted advisor.

• It has fantastic features to help recruiters find any specific needs they are searching for to find the perfect candidate.
• The tool is straightforward to use and find the necessary information.
• I like that I can sort and search within the tool for additional skills as well as the talent insights.
