Rediscover top talent already in your ATS

Q: What is talent rediscovery?

Talent rediscovery is the process of using AI to resurface candidates who previously applied to your company but were not hired. These candidates already know your brand and have expressed interest — SeekOut matches them against your current open roles using their updated skills and experience.

Q: What percentage of hires come from existing ATS data?

44% of great hires already exist in your applicant tracking system. Most companies receive an average of 250 resumes per job opening, but many qualified candidates are never reviewed or are passed over for roles that were not the right fit at the time.

Q: How does ATS rediscovery work with SeekOut?

SeekOut connects to your ATS and uses AI to match past applicants, silver medalists, and alumni against your current open roles. It highlights updated resumes, current skills, and relevant experience so you can quickly identify candidates worth re-engaging.

Q: Is rediscovery faster than external sourcing?

Yes. Talent rediscovery is up to 5x faster than sourcing from scratch because candidates already exist in your system, have prior familiarity with your company, and their application history provides valuable context for recruiters.

Q: What are silver medalist candidates?

Silver medalists are candidates who reached the final stages of your hiring process but were not selected — often because another candidate was a slightly better fit. These runners-up are pre-vetted, already engaged with your brand, and can be hired significantly faster when a matching role opens.

Your next great hire may already know your company. With SeekOut, you can reconnect with candidates who previously applied or interviewed but weren’t selected. Their skills and experience may now be the right match for a new opportunity.
