What is Loxo?
Loxo is a combined ATS and CRM built specifically for staffing and search firms, tracking both sides of the business in one system: client and hiring-manager relationships on the CRM side, and candidate pipeline on the ATS side. Its CRM is powered by a proprietary 800-million-person talent graph that Loxo owns and continuously refreshes, with a Self-Updating Agent that keeps candidate records current as people change roles. For agencies consolidating a fragmented sourcing-and-CRM stack into one system of record, Loxo's pitch is fewer tools and less manually re-entered data.
What are Loxo's key features?
Run client BD from the same place you run search: A built-in Sales CRM tracks hiring manager relationships and job orders alongside your candidate pipeline - so your BD reps and recruiters work off one shared record instead of two disconnected systems.
Your database stops going stale on its own: The Self-Updating CRM Agent refreshes candidate job titles, skills, and locations in the background - so the profile a recruiter pulls up reflects where someone actually works today, not six months ago.
Search your own talent pool like it's a search engine: Natural language and Boolean search surface the right candidate from your private database in seconds - so recruiters stop rebuilding lists they've already sourced once for a previous similar role.
Every call and note lands on the record: AI Notetaker captures calls and emails automatically against the candidate or client record - so context survives even when the recruiter who built the relationship is out or moves on.
Trigger the next step without a manual handoff: AI agents handle routine tasks across outreach, candidate evaluation, and pipeline progression - so the workflow keeps moving without someone babysitting each stage of an active search.
How do staffing agencies use Loxo?
- A boutique executive search or direct-hire agency uses Loxo's sourcing database, contact enrichment, ATS, CRM, and outreach automation in a single platform, eliminating the tool sprawl most agencies accept as standard operating cost.
- A multi-desk agency that's outgrown spreadsheets but isn't ready for Bullhorn's complexity and price uses Loxo as a genuinely competitive alternative, with its separate Sales CRM module handling client BD pipeline alongside the candidate-side ATS.
- An in-house TA team running active outbound sourcing alongside standard applicant tracking uses Loxo's combined ATS-and-sourcing model to avoid licensing a separate sourcing tool on top of their core system.
Who is Loxo best for?
- Agencies where outbound sourcing - not inbound applications - is the primary recruiting motion, and the ATS database needs to power that sourcing directly
- Teams that want sourcing, matching, and outreach automation built into the same system as the candidate database, not split across separate tools
- Tech-focused agencies comfortable with a real learning curve in exchange for AI-native sourcing depth from day one - Loxo's free-tier ATS makes it accessible before a full commitment
What are Loxo's pros and cons?
Pros
- All-in-one platform reduces tool switching and data silos between sourcing, candidate management, and outreach workflows
- Proprietary talent graph and AI models are purpose-built for recruiting, not generic AI wrappers
- Native sourcing with 800M+ verified contacts eliminates manual platform hopping and reduces contact data staleness
- Free tier available to start using the ATS and CRM indefinitely without payment
- Enterprise security certifications (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, FedRamp, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI) support compliance requirements
Cons
- Professional plan and higher require a sales conversation, making pricing opaque for mid-market teams
- Consolidating multiple legacy tools onto one platform requires data migration and workflow retraining for existing teams
- AI agent and source features are only available on Professional tier and above, not on Basic or Free plans
