What is SeekOut?
SeekOut is an AI recruiting platform that helps talent acquisition teams search a broad candidate database, score applicants against custom criteria, and run AI video interviews. It serves recruiters and sourcers, mostly at large, US-based organizations.
SeekOut combines candidate sourcing, applicant scoring, and video screening in one platform. Recruiters search across more than a billion profiles, including patents, open-source code, and publications, then build scoring rubrics to rank candidates and launch multi-touch outreach campaigns. A Chrome extension adds sourcing from external sites, and the platform integrates with applicant tracking systems to pull in existing candidate data.
SeekOut is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, with a second office in Bangalore, and operates independently without a parent company. The vendor reports more than 750 customers, mostly large US enterprises such as DocuSign, Atlassian, and Discord, served by recruiters, sourcers, and talent acquisition leaders.
SeekOut AI features and use cases
- Finds candidates across a huge datasetThe Candidate Finder agent searches public profile data and connected ATS records together, reading context across resumes, code repositories, and publications rather than matching on keywords alone. Recruiters reach candidates who would not surface through a standard boolean search, useful for technical or specialist roles.
- Builds a rubric, then scores against itThe Rubric Creator agent turns a set of hiring criteria into a scoring rubric, and the Profile Analyst agent then scores each candidate against it with a stated reason. Recruiting teams get a ranked, explained shortlist instead of reviewing every profile individually.
- Runs AI video interviewsSeekOut's AI interviewer, named Sam, conducts structured, asynchronous video interviews and evaluates responses against the same rubric applied to every candidate. Hiring teams get comparable, recorded results before deciding who advances, instead of running early screening calls by hand.
- Drafts personalized outreach messagesThe Outreach Author agent writes multi-touch outreach sequences personalized to each candidate's background and adjusts follow-ups based on how they respond. This gives recruiters a starting draft for campaigns that would otherwise be written one by one.
- Flags bias in the hiring funnelSeekOut runs audits across sourcing, scoring, and interview data to flag patterns that could indicate bias in the hiring process. This gives talent acquisition and compliance teams visibility into where a process might be skewing away from a fair outcome.
What sets SeekOut apart
- Search covers patents, open-source code, and academic publications alongside standard profile data, which suits technical and research-heavy roles.
- The AI interviewer, called Sam, runs interviews asynchronously, so candidates complete them on their own schedule instead of a live call.
- Recruit Core is available as a self-serve monthly subscription; larger sourcing and full-funnel tiers require a custom quote.
- The vendor states that its AI agents together let recruiters evaluate five times more candidates with fifty percent faster time to fill.

Questions to ask before you buy SeekOut
Before buying, clarify which tier fits: Recruit Core has a fixed monthly price for three seats, while sourcing, integration and full-funnel tiers are custom-quoted with an annual contract. Because the AI interviewer, Sam, evaluates video interviews, Illinois requires notice to candidates and their consent first. SeekOut flags bias patterns across the funnel, but New York City's Local Law 144 requires an independent bias audit and a published summary for automated hiring tools.
Rules for HR in the United States
- No federal employee privacy law, a state patchwork instead
- NYC requires bias audits for AI hiring tools
- Illinois bans discriminatory AI in employment decisions

Questions about SeekOut
Is SeekOut available as a monthly subscription, or only through a sales contract?
The entry-level Recruit Core plan is self-serve: $179 per month billed monthly or $149 per month paid annually upfront, with three seats included. Larger plans that add ATS integration or the full recruiting funnel are quoted individually and billed annually.
Where is SeekOut's customer data hosted?
SeekOut hosts data on Microsoft Azure infrastructure with data centers in the United States. The vendor states that no customer data is stored at its own offices and that data is not used to train models.
Can I try SeekOut before signing a contract?
Yes, SeekOut offers a 14-day free trial of the Recruit Core plan without requiring a credit card. Higher tiers are typically demoed through a sales call rather than a self-serve trial.
