Entelo is a great sourcing platform!

Pros

  • Entelo provides accurate candidate contact info. Many of the profiles I have sourced via the platform have had the correct email address and my emails were able to reach the prospective candidate. This really helps recruiting efforts. Most candidates in this day and age constantly check their personal email. Engineers in particular are a hard group to reach and just sending an InMail isn't always the best route. Entelo really helps in recruiting for engineers by helping to provide their personal contact details.
  • Entelo's tracking feature is a great strength. Any email you send to candidates on the platform, you can track accordingly. I get a notification when the candidate opens my email, clicks on link in the email, and when they reply. The notifications don't just come through the Entelo platform but you get an email as well so you're up to date.
  • Entelo search is another great feature. You can search for candidates by entering skill, position, company name etc. There's even a diversity filter! Really great search criteria that helps you hone in on your ideal candidates. This is really useful for hard to fill technical positions.

Cons

  • Although, Entelo does a great job in providing contact info, the room for improvement is if they can find more contact info for global candidates. For US candidates, the platform does a great job in finding email addresses. For candidates based in EMEA, sometimes the platform has a hard time obtaining email addresses.
  • Entelo's envoy feature didn't work the best for me. The feature uses AI and predictive analytics to find the best candidates for your open positions and then reaches out automatically to them with the template you create. My issue was the profiles that it reached out to weren't the best fits for my technical positions. I think this feature needs some fine tuning.
  • I think the reporting feature of Entelo could improve. Right now you can't create customizable reports and sometimes the reports you want to export can take awhile to download.

Return on Investment

  • Positive impact that Entelo has had is that it has helped increase the number of candidates we have hired into our organization.
  • It has helped tremendously with sourcing efforts. It is reasonably priced and you really get great value. It helps you find quality candidates and makes the outreach to potential candidates smoother.
  • Our time to fill has cut down for our hard to fill positions. Entelo has done a great job in helping us find and hire technical talent.

Pros

  • Locating Email Addresses. This is a great tool because sending an email to a passive candidate instead of a LinkedIn message is so much more powerful and has a better response rate.
  • Helping with verbiage to get a higher response rate. I liked when they made this update to templates because it really opened my eyes to how my templates previously favored language to me and not to the candidate.
  • Giving snapshot into candidate background and their chance of moving. I like that you can see the tenure and information about their current company while on the profile page. I like being able to see the turnover rate of companies as well.

Cons

  • Once an email is found, send out the email. I wish that once entelo locates the email, it would just automatically send the template I requested. This would streamline my communication.
  • Letting me see the responses in the system. Right now it just says "Candidate replied" but if I was not the original one to receive the email I have no clue if the candidate said to reach back out or to fully leave them alone. A little insight would allow me to more knowledgeably reach out to candidates I have talked to in the past.
  • Templates easier to find. It took me weeks and a call with my account manager to figure out where to edit my templates. They are hidden within another section that doesnt seem logical.

Return on Investment

  • Allowed me to connect with candidates in a unique way. Way more impact than buying Inmails through LinkedIn. So much more value for your money.
  • Provides insight into their current company and their odds of leaving. This helps me in my conversation and identify pain points they may be having prior to our call.
  • Follows up on communication for maximum exposure. The follow-up emails are gold and where I get the most response. Short and sweet and to the point.

Pros

  • It pulls resumes from multiple platforms

  • Sometimes the full sequence is sent, even when somebody replies stating they aren't interested.

Return on Investment

  • We have made hires from candidates sourced on Entelo
  • It is at the top end of the sourcing tool price points

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.

Cons

  • All the profile information isn't up to date and you always need to click through to their profile links (LinkedIn, GitHub, Angel List, etc.)
  • It doesn't do a great job of pulling profiles from Facebook as you are better off sourcing directly from Facebook.
  • If would be great if they could provide email reporting for the time of day to test the best time of day to email candidates so you can a/b test. Also, it would be great if you could provide response rate by List so you can see out of the 'x' number of candidates on a list, 'y' number of candidates responded. If a candidate doesn't respond to my initial outreach I send multiple follow-up emails so it would good to see how many candidates on my List respond to me. If I were to do that now it would be a very manual process and take too much time.
  • They don't have drip/automated email campaign capabilities. It would be great when I send that initial email to a candidate to have the ability to scheudle follow-up emails based. For example, if the candidate doesn't respond to my initial email within 2 days send follow up email 1, if they don't respond to that email within 2 days send follow-up 2, etc.

Return on Investment

  • Entelo saves me a ton of time in being able to manage pipelines, find contact information, and email candidates from one platform.
