SeekOut Product Updates

Our team has been hard at work implementing a lot of new features that you have given us input on as well as of customers have asked for. These include:

  • Unified Profiles
  • More Likely to Move Jobs Filters
  • Export Talent Insights to Excel
  • Personalized Outreach to GitHub Candidates
  • ATS Rediscovery
  • Referrals

Unified Profiles: As you know we pull in a lot of data about people beyond just what they say on their profiles. We try to get the actual work they’ve done and bring that to be searchable and discoverable so you can engage with folks. If you do a search for someone in accounting for instance, we’ll bring back links to papers they’ve written about accounting. If you search for ‘natural language engineer’, we won’t just pull back the candidate’s public resume data, we’ll now show any papers & patents they’ve done, as well as any code from GitHub directly within the Public Profile. Of course, you can click through to see the exact code. What this means is that many more candidates come back from every search you do because we are pulling in more than what they say, and the people that come back are much more relevant and you can see why they are relevant.

More Likely to Move feature: What this does is it applies a machine learning algorithm to predict which candidates are most likely to change jobs in the next 12-months. Let’s say you’re looking for ‘certified public accountant’ in Chicago. All you have to do is click on the More Likely to Move button, that will filter out to only show candidates who SeekOut predicts will move jobs in the next 12-months. This algorithm is very precise and will help you target your candidates better.

Export Talent Insights: Our customers love the Talent Insights feature but have been limited because they previously could only export Talent Insights as a PDF. With this update you can now export to an Excel Spreadsheet, all the data from our Talent Insights so you can put them into a Word document, PowerPoint presentation or other document to share with your leadership.

Personalized Outreach to GitHub Candidates: Our new GitHub engagement feature builds a paragraph of text for you to use in your outreach messages which highlights the work that a candidate has done on GitHub. By taking advantage of this automatically created summary of the candidates work on GitHub, SeekOut will help you write a more engaging message and get more responses from the candidates you care about.

ATS Rediscovery: You have a ton of data in your ATS and in theory it should be very valuable for you but unfortunately ATS’s often have very stale data and most of them have relatively poor search. SeekOut’s ATS Rediscovery solves these problems by updating the profiles of anyone in your ATS and then allowing you to use all of SeekOut search features to find them again. With SeekOut you can target your search at anyone who is already in your ATS. See who in your company is working with them and how long ago they were updated. You can even target silver medalists and other attributes in your ATS combined with the power of SeekOut search. Click through to see their record in your ATS to see the full details of your interaction with them. Want to target candidates who have never applied to your company? You can do that too with just a click of a button

Referrals: SeekOut now allows your team members to upload their connections and then for you to filter to only find candidates who are connected to someone on your team. Once you’ve found the candidate and you see who they’re connected to, SeekOut makes it easy to reach out to that internal team member and ask for feedback. When you reach out, they get an email with a link and with just a few clicks can tell you whether they recommend the candidate or not and whether they’d be willing to reach out and talk to that candidate on your behalf. As soon as your internal teammate has given you feedback on the potential referral, you’ll see the info in your project.

Announcing Unified Profiles | Find More Qualified Candidates Faster

SeekOut’s mission is to help you find the best candidates by giving you the most powerful search over the most comprehensive candidate database. Our candidate profiles cover not just what users say about themselves but also what they’ve done. These Whole Person Profiles let you discover the best candidates and understand their true skills. We’ve just launched a major update to our Whole Person Profiles.

Unified Profiles
We’re improving the way we display Full Person Profiles so SeekOut Premium Tech and SeekOut Expert customers can more easily understand the full background of each candidate. In addition to the public profile details, key matches, and expertise tags we’ve always shown, we now augment candidate results with information about a candidate’s Open Source code contributions, academic research, and patents. We call this Unified Profiles.

A Comprehensive View of Each Candidate
You’ll still search SeekOut using any of our search capabilities – keywords, Power Filters, Boolean strings, or SeekOut Robot. But where you used to see a more limited profile, you’ll now see information about the GitHub contributions of each software developer – including SeekOut Coder Score and links to their actual code. And for any candidates who have been awarded patents or done academic research, you’ll see these accomplishments directly on their profile.

Many of these strong candidates don’t bother to describe their detailed work on their LinkedIn profile, so they aren’t discoverable with other tools. By unifying these profiles, SeekOut helps you find more candidates – and the candidates you discover will be even higher quality.

More – and More Qualified – Candidates for Your Hard-to-Find Roles
Let’s look at an example. Before today, if you were trying to find a software developer in Nashville with 5-10 years of experience and expertise in IOS, you’d find about 1300 results. With SeekOut’s new Unified Profiles, the same search will return 160 more qualified candidates.

Even better, SeekOut will show you more information about each candidate.

Where you used to see the what the candidate says about themselves, you now see full details of their software expertise, their coding expertise and Coder Score, as well as links to their actual Open Source code contributions.

Similarly, when sourcing Life Sciences or Engineering talent, SeekOut’s Unified Profiles now search and display information from the patents, research, and papers of expert candidates. This means you find more qualified candidates.

For instance, a search for magnetic resonance imaging angiography will now reveal more than twice as many candidates. And it will be much more clear which candidates have the specific background and skills you need. See how the unified profile below shows specific  expertise gleaned from the candidate’s patents and research.

Improve Your Candidate Discovery Today
If you’re a SeekOut Premium Tech or Expert subscriber, Unified Profiles are active on your account today. If you’re not yet a Premium Tech or Expert subscriber and would like to see how this new capability can lead to more effective talent acquisition strategy, let us know. We’d be happy to show you.

Custom Pictures Added to Blind Hiring Mode

You’ve asked—we delivered! We’ve updated Blind Hiring Mode in SeekOut to let users customize the images that replace the candidate’s photo. If you don’t like the default image of the cat, you can change it to an image of your favorite pet, animal, or virtually any custom image you prefer.

To change the cat picture follow these steps:

  1. Click on your name in the upper right hand corner of SeekOut
  2. Click on ‘Account’
  3. Click ‘Change Blind Hiring Picture’

What is Blind Hiring Mode in SeekOut?

If you’re unfamiliar with Blind Hiring Mode, it’s a SeekOut feature that mitigates unconscious bias by removing names, photos, email addresses, educational backgrounds, and other identifiable information from a candidate’s profile. This ensures talent acquisition professionals only evaluate qualifications when considering candidates for open roles.

Many people are opened minded and believe they don’t have biases, especially recruiters striving to increase the diversity in their organization. However, everyone has unconscious biases that influence their decision-making without them knowing it.

Examples of unconscious bias in candidate assessments:

• Appearance bias – The photo a candidate includes on their public profile can lead to biases based on their appearance.
• Name bias – Uncommon names can result in assumptions about the candidate’s nationality and if they’re a native English speaker.
• Education bias – The college a candidate attended can trigger unfair conclusions about their intelligence and work ethic.
• Age bias – A candidate’s age—whether they be older or younger—can cause biases about their skills, professionalism, or work ethic.

If you want to learn how SeekOut can help you prevent biases in your candidate assessments and accomplish your diversity hiring goals, request a demo today!
