SeekOut vs. ZoomInfo Talent

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.

Honestly, I'm not using ZoomInfo because I have researchers who have their licenses to several platforms. So, I don't think I need it moving forward.

• 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.

Incentivized

• ZoomInfo Talent has detailed search parameters to help identified potentially qualified candidates.
• ZoomInfo Talent allows you to download your results via CSV or Excel directly to your ATS/CRM once linked.
• ZoomInfo Talent shows email open info if you send them emails via ZoomInfo.

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

Incentivized

• I think the data (emails and phone numbers) is only somewhat accurate.
• Often there is company data missing that is important.
• ZoomInfo doesn't provide phone support for free; you have to pay for phone support in addition to the platform.

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

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

It's ok. I don't think it's fabulous. Initially I purchased ZoomInfo Talent to replace LinkedIn Professional Recruiter. I found that I was still finding and connecting with more candidates and ultimately placing them using LinkedIn. I don't think it's an adequate substitute for LinkedIn RPS.

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.

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.

LinkedIn is a better recruitment program overall in my opinion. I like the InMail feature which seems to get far better results than emailing from ZoomInfo Talent.

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.

Incentivized

• Negative ROI for 2024. I found often the phone numbers, emails and current companies were not current.
• It's a nice product to have as an add on.
• I don't think training is great; I found it made more sense to hire someone to utilize my sourcing instead.
