SeekOut Named an IDC Innovator for Talent Intelligence Platforms

SeekOut is excited to announce that we’ve been named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Talent Intelligence Platforms, 2020 (doc #US46115220, March 2020). IDC Innovators reports present a set of vendors chosen by an IDC analyst within a specific market that offer an innovative new technology, a groundbreaking approach to an existing issue, and/or an interesting new business model. It is not an exhaustive evaluation of all companies in a segment or a comparative ranking of the companies. IDC INNOVATOR and IDC INNOVATORS are trademarks of International Data Group, Inc.

Defined by IDC, Talent Intelligence (TI) is the gathering and subsequent analysis of internal and/or external labor data in order to inform talent strategies and tactics. TI platforms help HR professionals create a holistic view of talent pools around the world by aggregating labor market data such as skills, functions that enables them to be more efficient and effective when finding, engaging, and eventually retaining talent in a labor market that is short on skills and diverse talent.   

SeekOut helps talent acquisition (TA) teams gain a competitive edge with our comprehensive database of candidate profiles for in-demand professionals in many sectors. The database is powered by an intuitive machine learning-powered people search engine compiling information across sources such as GitHub and Google Scholar to help you search untapped talent pools.
