Contact information alone can’t transform your hiring outcomes. But when accurate, natively integrated contact details are embedded within a talent intelligence platform, they bring new possibilities for recruiters to engage with top candidates faster and more effectively. While traditional applicant tracking systems (ATS) lack native contact integration, data-rich talent intelligence platforms, like Loxo, offer a game-changing advantage: precise, automatically enriched personal contact information that enhances every part of the recruitment process.
The limitations of legacy ATS solutions
A standard ATS requires users to import data or purchase separate tools to track down candidates’ contact information, often resulting in tedious, fragmented workflows. Most ATS platforms were not built to search, analyze, or enrich contact details directly, forcing recruiters to jump between systems, restart searches, and rely on third-party tools like LinkedIn Recruiter or ZoomInfo, which were primarily designed for sales rather than recruiting. In contrast, a talent intelligence platform offers natively built-in contact information and real-time updates, keeping contact data accurate and integrated at every stage.
How built-in contact data changes recruiting workflows
With contact information embedded into the platform, talent intelligence workflows simplify outreach and follow-up, offering a smooth, unified process. For instance, with Loxo, recruiters don’t need to open multiple tools or work from separate spreadsheets. Instead, the platform provides automatically enriched profiles with personal contact details, emails, and social links, which are ready at the click of a button.
Whether it’s through direct emails, texts, or personalized sequences, a talent intelligence platform enables recruiters to efficiently reach candidates across multiple channels. Instead of interrupting the workflow to search for details or compose messages from scratch, recruiters can set up templates and sequences to reach out with high-touch, personalized communication.
Enhanced productivity through automation
In addition to accurate contact information, the automation capabilities of a talent intelligence platform allow recruiters to work smarter. Automations ensure follow-up reminders, contact updates, and candidate engagement without manual tracking. When recruiters import data, upload a resume, or source candidates directly, the platform finds and enriches contact details automatically—saving time and eliminating the errors that often come from manual data entry.
Automating these functions doesn’t just make individual tasks faster; it improves efficiency across the entire hiring lifecycle. Recruiters can dedicate their time to building relationships and fine-tuning candidate fit instead of managing data and manually reaching out.
The value of accurate data at scale
With a talent intelligence platform, recruiters can build a growing, continuously updated talent pool rather than beginning each search from scratch. The ability to search, organize, and communicate with candidates seamlessly within one system creates a compounding effect: as the platform continuously enriches contact information, each new search yields a more robust, up-to-date candidate pool.
This approach saves time, enhances engagement, and reduces recruitment costs over time. The end result is a faster, more effective recruiting experience that brings higher-quality candidates into your pipeline—without the hassle of multiple disconnected tools.
A complete solution for high-impact recruiting
Accurate contact information, combined with unified workflows, automation, and omni-channel outreach, empowers recruiters to reach more candidates in less time, optimizing hiring processes across the board. By centralizing all recruiting activities, a talent intelligence platform like Loxo streamlines every step, enabling teams to operate with speed, precision, and personalization at scale.
