User Testimonials

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

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.

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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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

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

Usability
No answers on this topic
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

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.

Alternatives Considered
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.

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.
