Introducing SeekOut Workspaces: Recruit's AI-Guided Workflow for Faster Hiring

No, it’s not just you. It's getting harder to make a good hire.  

Despite surging application volumes, recruiting teams remain small and under-resourced due to tight budgets. Talent leaders are expected to maintain full pipelines while managing inconsistent workflows across remote teams in different time zones, making it increasingly complex and challenging to identify the right talent.

SeekOut customers are finding success by leveraging warm talent pools through ATS integrations. They are focusing less on cold outreach and more on targeting past applicants that have already shown interest. Teams are accelerating their hiring timelines because they can skip the initial screening stage and move talent directly to interviews. 

In response to these hiring trends, we're excited to announce SeekOut Workspaces, an AI-powered collaborative workflow for resource-constrained and distributed teams. Workspaces enables efficient sourcing across all talent pools, including warm contacts, while ensuring consistent best practices and seamless team collaboration. This intuitive, reimagined approach guides you through the entire sourcing and hiring process, enabling you to focus on high-value actions and hire quality talent faster.

How Workspaces simplifies your hiring process 

Workspaces takes recruiting from a time-consuming, fragmented process into a streamlined, AI-supported workflow that delivers the speed, quality, and consistency that hiring teams need to get ahead of their talent goals.  

• Accelerates time-to-hire. Job-based recommendations leverage AI to automatically match profiles to open roles, removing the need for manual searches and queries. You'll stay productive and move your search along faster. 

• Improved quality of hire through cross-channel search. Workspaces unifies active and passive sourcing by searching across public profiles, alumni and your ATS to find the top talent regardless of channel.  

• Scaled hiring best practices to support distributed teams. Recruiting teams can share and collaborate in Workspaces, partnering on shortlisting decisions and adding notes to profiles.   

• Enable consistent recruiting workflows. Workspaces provides uniform processes for the entire team regardless of team size or location to ensure more fair and equitable hiring. A guided workflow emphasizing high-value actions makes getting started with hiring simple and intuitive, even for new team members. 

"The interface is very intuitive...You just create a Workspace and go!" - Trey DeNina, Sr. Recruiter at Jacobs Engineering  

Workspaces empowers a hiring process that matches the pace and demands of today’s environment while keeping everyone on the same page.
