SeekOut Messaging Update

Improvements to increase candidate response rates

We’re excited to announce a redesign of our messaging features to make your outreach to candidates more effective. Read on for more details. 

Support for multi-channel sequences 

You’ll have the best candidate response rates when you reach out multiple times over different channels (email, phone, LinkedIn, etc.). SeekOut now supports creating steps of different types to manage these multi-channel campaigns. When you add a step to a campaign, you have your choice of an automated custom email or using a pre-created email template. You can also add manual steps reminding you to call, text, send an InMail, or connect on LinkedIn.

When it’s time for a manual step, a new task will appear on your Messaging To-Do list. Once you’ve completed the task, check it off and SeekOut will move on to the next step.

More control over message timing

You can now specify the interval between steps in hours as well as  days. This can be helpful if you want to follow send a follow up email shortly after sending a LinkedIn connect request, for instance.

You can also choose which days of the week messages should not be sent. Many recruiters find messages on Saturdays have low response rates, for instance, so you may want to uncheck Saturday.

Edit form fields and preview messages for a specific candidate

We know you want your automated messages to be as natural sounding as possible. Sometimes that means using a different version of the candidate’s name or other field. You can now edit any of the candidate fields by clicking on the candidate’s name.

If you want to see how a message will look for a candidate prior to sending, you can preview any step for a specific candidate.

More efficient use of templates

SeekOut Messaging lets you create templates so it’s easy to reuse steps in multiple campaigns. You can use the same final message in all your multistep campaigns, for instance. Templates are also useful for SeekOut customers who send Quick Messages instead of creating automated campaigns. 

With this update, it’s easier to create, edit, and find templates. The newly revamped Templates section shows you all your available templates and also lets you search for them. 

When you want to use a template in a multistep campaign, just choose Template as the step type.

Improving the Basics

If you’re new to messaging with SeekOut, we’ve improved the setup process. It’s simpler to get started with message campaigns or templates.  

And more!

There are many more improvements to SeekOut Messaging, including tips for creating the best outreach sequences, a more consistent UX, and a simpler campaign creation flow. Try it out and please let us know what you think.

Engagingly yours,

Team SeekOut

P.S. If you’ve already been using SeekOut Messaging, all your campaigns will continue to work as before. You don’t need to make any changes.

February 2021 Product Update

Millions More Candidates

At SeekOut, we’re constantly expanding and updating our database of candidates so you can efficiently find the talent you need. Read on to learn about our latest updates.

More Profiles = Better Search 

We’ve added over 140 million new profiles, including: 

  • Over 128 million new candidates in our Public Profile database cover all industries and roles 
  • Over 4 million additional software engineers who are working on GitHub, where we’ve analyzed their work, including rating their abilities with the SeekOut Coder Score 
  • Over 7 million experts ranked by their in-depth knowledge demonstrated by their patents and research 

You’ll see improved results across the board in SeekOut, especially for the most hard-to-find candidates. Let’s break down the numbers! 

  • 20% more African-American candidates 
  • 38% more female candidates based in the U.S. 
  • 58% more candidates with a security clearance (wow!) 
  • 28% more candidates returned for in-demand roles (such as UX designer) using Power Filters 

In addition to the increased number of candidates, we’ve updated the engine, which updates, matches, and de-duplicates the profiles in our database. Hence, candidate information is enhanced. 

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses. 

Expert Improvements 

Find Prominent Contributors 

For companies searching for deeply technical experts, SeekOut Expert search uncovers millions of candidates who can’t be found elsewhere by mining papers, patents, and publications. These kinds of works typically have multiple authors – the average is five – but not all authors contributed equally. The authors are listed, starting with the author who contributed the most to the work. Being a first author is a big deal.  

The last author listed often is an advisor or supervisor of the project. For this reason, you can glean an understanding of a candidate’s experience from the order of authors.  

To support this, we have added a new Prominence filter that gives you the ability to filter by candidates who have been the first or last author on a paper or patent. You will find that filter under View All Filters in SeekOut Expert search. 

Select Has been first author to see Expert candidates who contributed the most to a publication. Select Has been last author to show candidates who are likely to have been special advisors or supervisors on a publication. 

Expert Overview At-A-Glance 

Some details on Expert profiles have been rearranged to make it quicker and easier to see contributions from the candidate. 

This update is live on Expert licenses. 

Open Search Across North America 

The United States and North America (Non-U.S.) locations have been combined into North America. Previously, if you were looking for candidates in and out of the United States, you had to perform two searches: one for the US and another country. 

To search for candidates in the US and other countries in North America at the same time, choose North America as your location and check the box next to each country you want to search for. 

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses. 

Customize Tags & Statuses across your organization 

Admins can now manage tags and statuses across their organization.  

Click on your initials and select Team Administrator, then click on the Org Settings tab. Tags and statuses can be added, edited, and deleted from this page. To see more information about this feature, see our support center article titled Tags and Statuses. 

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses.

Autumn 2020 Product Updates

The SeekOut team has been hard at work throughout the fall listening to your suggestions and building new capabilities. Please read on to learn what’s new!

SeekOut Dark Mode

Many of us are spending more time than ever this year on computer or TV screens, which can be hard on the eyes. You may now toggle on Dark Mode to suit your lighting conditions and personal preference.

Give it a try by clicking your initials in the top-right corner and toggling Dark Mode on!

 

AND/OR Diversity Filters

Each new hire has the ability to shift the dynamics of your team, so it’s important to be intentional about diversity when building your talent pipeline.

When selecting two or more Diversity filters, you now have the ability to find candidates whose profiles contain all selected diversity tags or candidates whose profiles contain at least one of the selected diversity tag.

For example, you can search for candidates who are both Female AND Veteran, meaning female candidates who have served in the military: 

Here is an example of an OR search; SeekOut will look for candidates who are either Hispanic OR Black or African American:

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses.

More controls to prevent unconscious bias

We’ve added the ability to redact more information when searching for candidates or sharing projects. You can now hide education details, links to social profiles, and salary information — and enforce those redactions when sharing with a hiring manager.

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses.

Simplified new user license creation

Team administrators already have the ability to create new users, reassign licenses, and run usage reports. But until now, you needed help from your Customer Success Manager to ensure that your new users received their activation links.

Now, SeekOut automatically emails your new users with their personal activation links. However, if you would like to send something more personal (perhaps you want to point them to internal training resources), you can copy the activation link and paste it into a personalized email:
 
 
 
 
If you aren’t a Team Administrator yet, and you’d like to be set up as an Administrator for your organization, please contact your Customer Success Manager or send an email to [email protected]. 
 
 

 

 

Discover candidates with startup experience

Many of our customers want to find candidates who have experience working at startups. Our new Startups Power Filters let you target candidates who are at startups now or have worked at a startup in the past. You’ll find these under the Lists of Companies section in Power Filters.

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses.

Send emails when candidates are most likely to respond

Our new Candidate Messaging enhancement now supports schedule-sending campaigns at a Specific Time based on your time zone and the Best Time according to the candidates’ time zones. This may be the difference between a candidate seeing and responding to your email, or your message getting lost in a candidate’s inbox.

Attach files in your Messaging campaigns

You asked so we built it: SeekOut now supports file attachments in messaging campaigns. You can now attach job descriptions or recent press mentions. We support all attachment types, but we recommend sticking with .pdf, .gif, .jpg, or .png files to ensure that your messages don’t trigger spam filters or anti-virus checkers.

Rediscover “warm” candidates in Taleo

Rediscover and reconnect with “warm” candidates who have already applied for a role at your company. In addition to our previous integrations with Greenhouse, SmartRecruiters, and Beamery, we now support candidate rediscovery within Taleo.

Connect with your account executive to learn more about ATS Rediscovery or request a live demo here.

Integrate multiple ATS/CRMs with SeekOut

If your organization uses an ATS to keep your recruiting pipeline organized and a CRM for candidate outreach, you can now integrate with both at the same time.

Check out our full list of supported integrations here.

Integrations are available by request. Please connect with your Customer Success Manager or send an email to [email protected]. 

Even more candidates

The SeekOut index continues to grow. We now have over 446 million candidates in our public profile database.

Until next time

We hope these changes make your sourcing and recruiting easier and more enjoyable. As always, we’re appreciative of your partnership, so please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can continue to improve SeekOut to make you more successful.

SeekOut Product Updates
Introducing a More Efficient & Powerful SeekOut

For leading enterprises and recruiting teams of all sizes, SeekOut is the go-to tool to fill the top of their talent funnel. Today, we’re releasing a more efficient, more powerful experience for our users.

There’s a lot in this update, including:

  • Better use of screen real estate and more readable profiles

  • Candidate Cloning & improved AI Matching

  • More customization options to make SeekOut fit the way you work

  • New, consistent navigation across the site

  • A new dashboard that makes it simple to continue what you were doing or start something new

  • Even faster searching

Jump right in to the new SeekOut or read on for more details.

More Efficient

A key goal of this update is to make our users more efficient. This starts with the basics, including switching to a compact, easy-to-skim font called Rubik. The navigation bar is now on the left side to better use the horizontal screen space and leave more space for the candidate data and insights.

We’ve made the overall user experience more consistent. Whether it’s switching between candidate lists and insights or navigating pop-up windows, there are fewer concepts to learn.

Beyond the visual appearance, every search returns results faster in the new UX compared to the old one. And you can start a search from anywhere with the unified search box at the top of every page.

To help you understand candidate expectations without leaving SeekOut, we now display highly accurate salary information for many candidate roles. In the cases where we don’t have salary information, we provide a link to other sources of salary information.

AI Everywhere

With this release, SeekOut’s AI and machine learning capabilities are even more useful.

AI Matching in SeekOut is more streamlined, letting you create a new AI Matching project in seconds and giving you the flexibility to adjust any requirement quickly.

Candidate Cloning is a brand-new feature that gives you the power to automatically find others who are similar to your best-fit candidates. It’s based on our AI Matching engine, so it gives you the flexibility to combine AI with manual filters (or even Boolean) and learns from your feedback.

If you have a list of candidates you’ve found with another source, you can upload the list and get full candidate details with SeekOut’s AI-powered matching and bulk enrichment.

More Discoverable

The SeekOut homepage is now a dashboard that lets you quickly start something new or jump back into your previous project. From the dashboard, you can get to Search, AI Matching, Insights and more with one click.

We’ve reimagined Power Filters to make them simpler to find and easier to reuse. As before, Power Filters give you instant access to complex searches with just one click. Now, you can search for Power Filters, see a clear description of what each one does, and use the Recent Power Filters section lets to get to your favorite filters quickly.

More Customizable

SeekOut has more than 40 filters to help you focus your candidate searches. To make it easier to use your favorites, we now support customized filters for each talent pool. Just select the filters you use most often and arrange them in the order that makes the most sense to you. When you need any other filters, they’re always available through the View All Filters pop-up.

Thank you

We hope these changes make your sourcing and recruiting easier, more efficient & fun. We’re inspired by the creative ways you use SeekOut and are so grateful for your partnership. Please let us know how we can continue to improve SeekOut to make you more successful.

P.S.

Our team has made many other improvements to SeekOut during these strange lockdown days. (Some people fill their downtime by baking bread; we just write more code.) If you haven’t seen our industry-leading Diversity Sourcing improvements that find 3X more diverse candidates, Enhanced Clearance Filters for finding 2x more candidates with US security clearances, Company Alumni search, Referrals for harnessing your team’s connections, GitHub Issues Search for identifying collaborative technologist, Levels Filters for targeting employees with the right seniority & much more, please reach out for a SeekOut demo today.

Go beyond the boardroom with actionable diversity sourcing strategies

Leaders across the globe today are making commitments to increasing Diversity and Inclusion in their workplaces and communities, but the challenge is finding actionable ways to drive change.

From day one, SeekOut has been committed to enabling our customers to take actionable, specific steps to improve diversity in their organizations by finding and including highly qualified, diverse candidates in their recruiting pipelines. 

This summer, we introduced several significant updates to our existing diversity filters:

  • Our Black or African American filter now finds twice as many candidates as before with improved accuracy of search results.
  • Our new Asian filter is available in all global indexes with the exception of Asia.
  • We expanded the availability of our diversity filters to additional global indexes.
  • The accuracy of our diversity filters has greatly improved.

Read on to learn why SeekOut was rated #1 for Diversity Recruiting on G2:

  • Build a diverse recruiting funnel: SeekOut’s diversity filters for Female, Hispanic, Black or African American, Asian, and Veteran candidates deliver up to five times as many candidates as other sourcing tools. To use a diversity filter, simply apply a filter on any search, or click on the diversity category graphs shown within Insights.
  • Understand the diverse representation of different talent pools: Understand diverse representation at a company, geographic, or candidate experience level so you can build an actionable recruiting strategy to achieve your company’s diversity and inclusion goals.
  • Reduce unconscious bias: Reduce the bias inherent in manual, Boolean-driven diversity searches, and use our Blind Hiring Mode to focus on experience and skills by hiding information related to gender, race, or ethnicity.

Check out this video by our co-founder and Head of Product, John Tippett, and request a live demo here.

SeekOut’s diversity filters are global. Here are the details on filter availability:

Female: All indexes
Black (or African American): United States, North America (Non-US), Europe

SeekOut Product Updates
Announcing Enhanced Clearance Filters

SeekOut is excited to unveil the latest innovation to our AI-powered Talent Search Engine: Enhanced Clearance Filters, a game-changer in helping our customers find cleared candidates for their mission critical government, defense, aerospace, and intelligence roles.

Enhanced Clearance Filters deliver 5 times more cleared candidate search results than any other tool, provide the industry’s most precise control over clearance level searches, and is directly integrated with SeekOut’s AI-powered talent search engine so you can discover and engage great cleared candidates instantly. 

From systems engineers to hypersonics experts, sourcing cleared candidates that have specific, hard-to-find skillsets is one of the top challenges we hear from our customers. 

It’s no surprise that this is top of mind for many SeekOut customers. Over 10,000 companies are searching for cleared candidates, and nearly 1% of the total open jobs in the US require a security clearance. 

These companies are pursuing an elusive pool of cleared candidates. Many cleared candidates do not list their clearance level on their public profile.  

Until now, recruiters have had two primary strategies for sourcing cleared candidates: 

  • Build complex Boolean strings to find profiles with the right clearance keywords, but these traditional search techniques fail if the candidate never listed the clearance on their profile.  
  • Target specific companies, titles, and locations where cleared candidates are known to work. This can be effective with a handful of companies, but doesn’t scale effectively to find large numbers of cleared candidates.

 

Cleared Candidate Sourcing in SeekOut 

At SeekOut, our AI-powered talent search engine builds a comprehensive view of each candidate by combining: 

  • What candidates say on their public profiles 
  • What candidates have done, including contributions on GitHub, research, papers, and patents
  • What we can infer about a candidate using AI and machine learning. 

To power our Enhanced Clearance Filters, we infer each candidate’s clearance level from their recent job experience. 

More specifically, we analyzed 25 million US job postings to discover which combination of company, title, and location require a security clearance. From this, we create a model of the clearance requirements for any role. If a candidate is in a role which requires a particular clearance, we infer they have the security clearance even if they don’t list it on their public profile. 

Here’s an example: AcmeCorp has had 20 open roles for Electrical Engineers with some roles in Denver and others in Chicago. All the JDs of the Denver-based roles list TS SCI clearance as a requirement, but the Chicago roles do not. SeekOut infers that any AcmeCorp Electrical Engineer in Denver have TS SCI clearance – regardless of what they choose to write on their public profile. 

This groundbreaking approach powers SeekOut’s Enhanced Clearance Filters, delivering the industry’s most powerful cleared candidate sourcing solution, including: 

  • 1.9M cleared candidates search results – 5 times more than any other solution 
  • 12 precise levels of clearance and access filtering – from Public Trust to Top Secret to Yankee White 
  • Results you can trust — SeekOut’s explainable AI describes how SeekOut infers a candidate has a particular clearance level. 
  • Integration with the SeekOut AI-powered Search Engine – Use all of SeekOut’s powerful search capabilities in combination with Enhanced Clearance Filters. Simply add the appropriate clearance filters to your existing searches to get the results you need. 

Learn more about how Enhanced Clearance Filters work on our website or on the support page.

Spring Product Updates

The SeekOut team has been hard at work this spring listening to your feedback and building new capabilities based on your suggestions. Please read on to learn more and keep sending your product suggestions to [email protected]

Updates to SeekOut’s Search Capabilities & Features

Referrals: Harness your team’s connections to find great candidates
Most recruiters will agree that referrals are a great source for good candidates. You can now use SeekOut to find candidates who are connected to you and your team and request feedback from your colleagues about these candidates.

To enable this feature, please contact your Customer Success Manager or [email protected]

 

“Companies with recent layoffs” Power Filter: Help great candidates recently impacted by layoffs find their next great role

Many companies have recently conducted layoffs, at least in some part, due to COVID-19. As a result, many talented candidates are looking for new roles. This filter identifies candidates at companies that have conducted layoffs so you can easily identify and reach out to them. This Power Filter is continually monitored and updated by our team so you can be confident that you have the most recent information at your fingertips.

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses.

Enhanced Index: Millions of new candidates, phone numbers, and email addresses

We are continuously updating the quantity and quality of the data in our talent search engine. With our recent updates, you now have access to 434 million candidates in our Public Profiles index, 55 million new candidate phone numbers, and 35 million new email addresses.

This update is live on Premium, Premium Tech, and Expert licenses.

GitHub Discussions: Identify the most engaged GitHub Candidates

SeekOut analyzes the discussions that happen on GitHub to understand which candidates are asking and answering questions and how engaged they are with the repository. You can use this information to find more candidates on GitHub and better understand these candidates’ abilities and areas of expertise.

SeekOut now shows the candidate’s activity level with GitHub and gives a link to the discussions they are a part of.

This release also adds 2.8 million more GitHub candidates to the GitHub index, bringing the total to over 25 million candidates.

This update is live on Premium Tech and Expert licenses.

Revamped Expert Candidate Search

For customers who recruit deeply technical experts – patent-holders, researchers, academic experts, etc. – our Expert subscription is an incredibly valuable tool. With this spring’s release, we’re making it even more useful:

  • We now include candidates from additional fields and industries, including Social Sciences and Economics.
  • We have added the h-Index and i10-Index for each candidate. These indexes measure how frequently a candidate has been cited across papers.
  • We have combined all expert candidates into a single database. These candidates are housed in the “Expert” tab. (Previously, we had split the candidates into two separate Engineering and Life Sciences pools.)

This update is live on Expert licenses. Connect with your account executive to learn more or request a live demo here.

Enhancements to Ways Your Team Can Collaborate

Credit-Pooling: Share credits for contacts, exports, and more across your team

We’ve made it possible to turn on credit-pooling across your team. Here’s how it works: if your organization has ten standard SeekOut licenses and turns on credit-pooling, each user will now share a pool of 5,000 contact information credits each month instead of each user being limited to 500 contact information credits. This is helpful because workloads can vary between team members across the year. What’s more, pooling credits can also conserve credit usage; if one of your users retrieves an email address for a candidate, the other users will have access to that candidate’s email address without expending any additional credits.

If you would like to enable credit-pooling for your organization, please contact your Customer Success Manager or [email protected].

Team Administration: Segment your organization into smaller teams 

Our larger customers have requested an easier way to manage and monitor how SeekOut is working across the organization. With this update, you can now segment your users into smaller teams and manage those teams independently.

Enhancements to Ways You Can Engage With Candidates

ATS Rediscovery: Rediscover “warm” candidates housed in your SmartRecruiters or Beamery Applicant Tracking System (ATS)

Our new integrations with common Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) allow you to rediscover and reconnect with “warm” candidates who have already applied to a role at your company.

In addition to our previous Greenhouse integration, we now support integrations with SmartRecruiters and Beamery. We’re excited to share that our SmartRecruiters integration won first place at the SmartRecruiters Hiring Success conference in February!

ATS Rediscovery is available by request. Connect with your account executive to learn more or request a live demo here.

Email Messaging Playbooks: Increase your candidate response rates with SeekOut’s customizable playbooks

“How do I increase my candidate response rates?” is one of the most frequently asked questions we hear on the Customer Success Team. To help you get the results you need, we’ve created seven new messaging “playbooks” – or blueprints of email nurture campaigns to be delivered over time – that you can use as a starting point. Customize these emails to make them your own or use the content as inspiration for your own creative email campaigns!

“Send on Behalf”: For hard-to-fill roles, vary your sender in SeekOut Messaging

With SeekOut’s Messaging feature, you can now have your candidate outreach emails come from your hiring manager or a member of leadership. An email from the hiring manager can often elicit higher response rates, leading to more candidates in your pipelines, and at the end of the day, more hires.

SeekOut Product Updates
January Product Updates! Chrome Extension, Team Admin, and more!

Announcement: We have 3 exciting announcements to kick off the new year!

As always, our product updates are driven by direct feedback from our customers, and we received some particularly valuable input from several of the 39 new enterprise customers who joined the SeekOut family over the last quarter.

We are incredibly appreciative of this feedback and partnership who are using and contributing to SeekOut every day.

Update #1: SeekOut Chrome Extension Enhancements

Our first update is a significant enhancement to our SeekOut Chrome Extension, which is available for free download with no subscription required.

This enhancement delivers a brand-new user interface as well as exciting new functionality leveraging the power of the SeekOut sourcing engine directly in your browser with when searching for candidates in Google, GitHub and LinkedIn.

  • Find contact info in one click from a candidate’s LinkedIn page

Download the extension for free and see it for yourself!

 

Update #2: Simplifying the Admin User Experience

The second major update in January was an improvement to the admin user experience.

Many of our large customers are using SeekOut across multiple departments and teams who each have different sourcing and recruiting objective and goals. This new feature allows the admin to allocate licenses by across each of these teams, significantly simplifying license management. This means you can spend less time managing licenses, and more time finding great candidates.

Update #3: Improvements to GitHub Emails Algorithm

Our third update is an improvement to the quality of our contact email and phone numbers for candidates in our GitHub index. This means that you’ll get additional information on your candidates when searching GitHub.
