How to Use the Extension
Once you have the extension installed, click the extension icon in your browser's toolbar to open a pop-up. Click Sign in and login to your SeekOut account if you're not automatically logged in.
When you are viewing a profile online that you want to save, click the SeekOut icon in the Chrome toolbar to open the extension. With the extension, you can:
Add a candidate to a project
Get verified email addresses and social profiles (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) for the candidate
Example:
Once you have candidates in a SeekOut project, you can:
Export to a spreadsheet
Get suggestions for similar candidates from the AI-powered SeekOut candidate recommendations

Any time you search for candidates in Google, we will automatically enhance the results with the candidate's photo, current company & title, location, educational background, and key skills. If you have the candidate in a SeekOut folder, you'll see that folder listed as well.

Q: What else can I do with a SeekOut subscription?

Q: Am I going to get blocked by using the SeekOut Chrome Extension?
No.
Your use of the SeekOut Chrome Extension is private. Websites you visit are not able to detect that you have the extension installed. This is important because some sites put you "in jail" if they see you are using other extensions on their site.
Your browsing history is private. The SeekOut Chrome Extension does not inspect any page or save anything about your browsing history that doesn't have to do with candidate profiles. If you visit a page other than a LinkedIn profile or Google Search, the extension doesn't look at that page or store the web address.
I have another question that wasn't answered here.
