Frequently asked questions
What is SeekOut?

Recruiters use it directly for sourcing across 1B+ profiles, ATS rediscovery and applicant evaluation with AI screening, bring the same capabilities into Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Amazon Quick through SeekOut MCP, or work with the early-access AI Coworker.
How much does SeekOut cost?
Self-serve SeekOut Sourcing Core is $149 per month paid annually upfront ($1,788 per year) and includes three seats, 500 contact credits a month, 1,000 exports and a 14-day free trial. Sourcing teams, ATS integration and the full recruiting funnel are custom, per-seat or volume-based and quoted annually. Applicant Evaluation & AI Screening is an add-on below the top tier.
How long does implementation take?

What AI compliance evidence does SeekOut provide?
Its security page states SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance with data processing agreements, and compliance with ISO/IEC 42001:2023 and 23894:2023. It advertises regular third-party bias audits (latest September 2025), explainable AI reasoning tied to your criteria, human-in-the-loop validation and records prepared for EEOC and OFCCP reviews. It does not claim FedRAMP, ISO 27001 or CMMC.
Does SeekOut train AI models on our data?
No, per its security page: client data is used only to deliver the service to the client, SeekOut does not test its software with customer data, and it states it does not use any client data to train its AI models. Its privacy policy adds that Google Workspace APIs are not used to develop, improve or train generalized AI or machine-learning models.
Which ATS platforms does SeekOut integrate with?
SeekOut integrates with major ATS platforms including Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS and Lever. The integration supports bidirectional data sync, so teams can source external candidates and rediscover past applicants already in the ATS. Custom integrations are available on the full recruiting funnel tier.
