I just unlocked this skill which feeds on the life force of my enemies to increase my Intelligence by 30 seconds. When I activate it, a circle of light surrounds me. What's not clear to me is whether enemies need to be in this radius of light for the Soul Harvest to take effect. Or do I activate the skill and then kill my enemies to reap the effect's benefits and how can I tell if I am benefiting from it?

As someone who has only played Witch Doctor and uses Soul Harvest as a main part of my strategy, I can confirm that the monsters need to be within the radius upon casting.
Note that the max for this effect is 5, which is not hard to achieve. Also worth noting: it is very effective to charge headfirst into a cluster of enemies, harvest their souls, then use Spirit Walk to find your best point to attack from.
