What it does
SeekOut is a recruiting search tool built around finding candidates. Recruiters search over one billion profiles drawn from LinkedIn, GitHub, academic papers, patents, and a company's own applicant tracking system. The AI reads a job description and finds people with a similar skill set even if their resume uses different words for it. Sam, SeekOut's AI, also screens and ranks inbound applicants automatically, and a Bias Reducer mode hides details like name and photo to reduce bias in early screening. It connects to an existing applicant tracking system and offers a Chrome extension for sourcing from LinkedIn directly. It is made by SeekOut, and more than 750 companies reportedly use it today.
Where it can help
This fits a recruiting team that struggles to find passive candidates through job posts alone, especially for technical, scientific, or hard-to-fill roles where keyword search misses good people. A sensible pilot is one recruiter or one team trying the entry Recruit Core plan for a quarter, which starts at about one hundred forty-nine dollars a seat per month billed yearly, as a planning figure to confirm with sales. Larger setups with inbound screening and full funnel automation are quote-based and can run tens of thousands of dollars a year. A free trial is a low-risk way to test data quality on your own roles first. One thing to watch is data freshness, since profile data can lag after someone changes jobs, so verify current employment before reaching out.
