Overall Satisfaction with SeekOut

Sourcing, focussed on tech talent (software, product, design); across a number of markets (EMEA, AMER, APAC). We were hoping for the tool to help with diversity sourcing and helping us to discover hidden gems. Sadly, the tool seems not to be GDPR compliant and we cannot risk leveraging it in Europe. Search results / diversity filters (although they do seem fancy), don't really bring any special results. Skilled tech scouts + traditional tools (e.g. Linkedin Recruiter) will bring similar results without spending so much money on SeekOut

Pros

  • Sourcing Function
  • Diversity Sourcing

Cons

  • GDPR compliant
  • Not as effective in EMEA and APJ
  • No positive impact
Never used their support
Linkedin Recruiter is industry standard; GDPR compliant, with strong presence in global markets.

    I'm sorry to hear SeekOut hasn't lived up your expectations! We are actually fully GDPR compliant and have many customers right across Europe. You can find our GDPR statement online here: https://www.seekout.com/gdpr If it helps, we'd be happy to connect your organization to our legal team, who can explore this further with with you. Please contact me directly on epedini@seekout.com if I can help with this.
