SeekOut's People Insights feature gives you a bird's eye view of any talent pool. From any search, you can zoom out to see the aggregate data about those candidates' location, employers, titles, skills, employment history, diversity and more.

Below is one example of a chart automatically created using People Insights.

SeekOut customers use this information to recruit more strategically. These are the most common uses of People Insights:

Typical search results focus in on individual candidates, but looking at candidates one-at-a-time can prevent you from seeing holes in your search strategy. Zooming out with People Insights enables you to understand the broader picture and adjust your search accordingly. Do the candidates coming back from your search have the appropriate range of current job titles or was your search constructed in a way that was far too broad or narrow? Did your search bring back the level of seniority you need for the role? Examining the aggregate view of the search results can quickly reveal where you need to adjust your search.

It's crucial to work effectively with hiring managers. People Insights helps you have a productive conversation with hiring managers to agree on the most essential requirements of a role, improve job descriptions, and set expectations about the difficulty of filling specific roles. Our customers will enter the criteria from a JD into People Insights and present the hiring manager with the results. Does the search bring back too many candidates? If so, collaborate with the hiring manager to agree on additional requirements to focus the results. Are there very few candidates available? If so, determine how to make the JD more realistic.

Instead of starting with a search, use People Insights to map the talent for your roles. Where do they live? What companies do they currently work for? Which schools or educational backgrounds can you target to reach most effectively? People Insights provides you with answers to these questions, enabling you to understand the talent landscape more effectively, rather than searching without a strategy.

People Insights gives you the ability to study your competition. You can understand the composition of their workforce – how many employees do they have in each role? Where are they located? What percentage are underrepresented minorities? How many have a specific set of skills? and more. This helps you understand your talent gaps, differentiate yourself from your competition, and reach out more effectively.
