Overview

About SeekOut

SeekOut is an agentic AI recruiting platform for talent acquisition teams — intelligent search across a billion-plus external profiles, candidate rediscovery within your own ATS, personalized outreach, and labor-market insights for competitive benchmarking and workforce planning. It's built for sourcing and evaluating people outside your organization.

Best forTalent acquisition teams that need to source, rediscover, and evaluate external candidates at scale, informed by labor-market intelligence.

But SeekOut has no bearing on developing the skills of the workforce you already have — it's an external-talent tool for a different buyer with a different job to be done. SkillsDB is internal-workforce-first: assessed proficiency, gap analysis, career pathways, and development for the people already on your team.

Differentiation

Why Teams Choose SkillsDB

Different Problems, Different Buyers

SeekOut helps recruiting teams find and evaluate people outside your organization. SkillsDB helps L&D, HR, and operations teams assess and develop the people already inside it. Neither replaces the other.

Complementary, Not Competitive

SeekOut fills open roles from the outside; SkillsDB grows the people already on the team. Many organizations run both — one for external hiring, one for internal skills intelligence.

Assessed Proficiency for the Workforce You Have

If your challenge is understanding what skills your current employees actually have — not just finding new candidates — SkillsDB's structured assessment, gap analysis, and career pathways are purpose-built for that.
