Overview

SeekOut is a talent acquisition and management platform that uses artificial intelligence to help organizations find and keep the right people. How it works: it combines external candidate data with a company’s HR systems to build rich candidate profiles, then lets users search and filter by requirements like medical licenses, security clearances, and technical skills. It can identify skills gaps and help with workforce planning, while also offering a talent marketplace that enables employees to explore growth paths and internal opportunities. How it differs from competitors: it pulls from hundreds of millions of candidates and connects external data with a company’s internal data to improve sourcing, screening, and internal mobility, with features aimed at reducing bias and increasing diversity in hiring. What the company aims to do: enable faster, more accurate hiring and stronger talent retention by providing a single platform for sourcing, management, and internal development.
