Loxo vs. Crelate

Loxo has been at the forefront of recruitment technology innovation since 2012, consistently setting the standard for what a modern Talent Intelligence Platform should be. Because we believe modern recruiters need more than a “better ATS” in order to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market.

While Crelate may seem like a viable option for small staffing firms, it falls short when it comes to advanced features, customization, and scalability. From an intuitive user interface and powerful AI-driven sourcing to robust automation capabilities and seamless integrations, Loxo offers a truly comprehensive solution that Crelate simply can’t match.

Why choose Loxo over Crelate?

Let's dive into some key differentiators between the two platforms.

All-in-one

Loxo is more than an ATS

While Crelate offers basic ATS and CRM functionality, Loxo provides a comprehensive Talent Intelligence Platform. Loxo offers multiple sales pipelines, unlimited custom fields, and extensive customization capabilities to adapt to your unique workflow.

Crelate’s limited customization options, single sales pipeline, and restricted number of custom fields can hinder your growth.

Loxo Source, Contact Data, Outreach, AI, Recruiting CRM, ATS and Sales CRM all in one platform

Unparalleled data

Loxo helps you find (and contact) the candidates no one else can

One of Loxo’s standout features is its advanced sourcing and data enrichment capabilities. With an integrated database of 1.2 billion professionals and powerful search functions, finding the right candidates is faster & easier than ever before — plus, Loxo's outreach functionality is seamlessly integrated with the rest of your workflow.

Crelate struggles with database searchability and relies on external providers for both sourcing and outreach — making your entire workflow clunkier as a result.

Superior design

Loxo is a platform you'll actually like using

It sounds simple, but good design can go a long way — and one of the things our customers tell us they love the most about Loxo is the fact that it has a visually appealing interface, intuitive workflows, and candidate avatars.

Being able to scan through tons of data quickly is key to you doing your job efficiently — and Loxo makes it as easy as possible for you to do that at both a 30,000 foot view (with a Master Pipeline view of all people across all jobs) and on an individual level.

Crelate’s interface is often described as “old-school” and not intuitive, requiring users to be superusers to navigate it effectively.

Scalability

Loxo was designed with your growth in mind

Loxo offers robust automation capabilities, dynamic workflows, and AI-powered features that grow with your business. With Loxo, you’re investing in a platform that evolves with your needs.

Crelate’s limited advanced capabilities and less functional automation sequences can hold you back as your agency expands.

You didn't think that was it, did you? 

Business development is a breeze

Loxo’s integrated Sales CRM makes business development seamless. From prospecting to designing custom multi-channel outreach sequences, you can manage your entire bizdev function within Loxo. Crelate’s single sales pipeline and limited visibility make the work tedious, while Loxo provides clear activity tracking and visibility across your team.

Innovation that keeps you ahead

At Loxo, we don’t just respond to market trends – we set them. Our commitment to innovation means you’re always working with cutting-edge tools designed to give you a competitive edge. Crelate has completely stopped innovating, while Loxo continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in recruitment technology.

Learning & support when you need it

While Crelate frequently drops the ball on data migrations, Loxo’s team ensures a smooth transition, ensuring you can hit the ground running — and our comprehensive support and training resources mean you don’t need to be a superuser to leverage the full power of the platform.
