Loxo’s 2024 Talent Trailblazer Awards

Celebrating those on the cutting edge of the talent industry

The talent landscape has shifted rapidly over the last decade — and talent professionals have had to wear a lot of hats in the process. 

This year, Loxo is recognizing 60 Talent Trailblazers (whether they be recruiters, people leaders, talent professionals, or simply creative-thinkers in the space) who are committed to shaking up the space and making a massive impact on the industry.

It’s worth noting: some of these heroes are Loxo users, but not all of them are. What they do all share in common, though, is their passion for human connection and making a difference in the lives of others. We wanted to take the opportunity to shout out voices in the space regardless of whether or not they use our product. 

Speaking of Loxo, though…

Loxo was born, like most great things are, out of the belief that there must be a better way: to recruit, to hire, to work.

After all: most of us spend more of our waking time at work than anywhere else.

So what could be more impactful than helping people find the best possible fit for them? What could be more rewarding than finding a way for people to feel as fulfilled as possible in the place where they spend the majority of their time?

Human capital is what changes the world. And we knew that if we could knock a platform like Loxo out of the park, we could make a profound difference in a lot of lives — both for recruiters and for the candidates they place.

At the end of the day, though — while technology is important — the future of talent acquisition and recruitment looks brighter thanks to: the change-makers, the risk-takers, the movers-and-shakers, the match-makers.  

Thank you to all of you for your hard work in making this industry better — during the good times and the bad, through changing market conditions, tough hiring markets, and so many other challenges. You and your contributions deserve to be recognized & celebrated. This one’s for you!
