Indeed Resume vs. SeekOut

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.

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.

• 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

• 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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Never had a moment where it was down or not available. and I do a lot of recruiting at night. Literally never once got an email about any downtime

Never have an issue

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.

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.

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 platform, and from experience, nothing does that quite like Indeed Resume.

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.

While we don't need it to scale, I see how easy it would be to separate by departments and projects

• 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.

Incentivized

• 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.
