Loxo vs. Recruit CRM

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. Since then, a few other options claiming to have the same all-in-one capabilities have popped onto the scene — one of them being Recruit CRM.

First things first:
If you’re even asking the question of Loxo vs. Recruit CRM, you’re in a pretty good place compared to some of your competitors — because it means you’ve realized you need more than an ATS to thrive in this modern world.

But here's the thing: at Loxo, we don’t 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. Recruit CRM may do an admittedly good job of following industry trends, but Loxo leads them. That difference may seem subtle, but it's a big one when it comes to standing out in a crowded marketplace.

So while Recruit CRM may be a viable option for some recruiters, let’s dive into why industry leaders are choosing Loxo for their recruitment needs.

Why choose Loxo over Recruit CRM?

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

No hidden costs

Loxo is a true all-in-one platform

Upon initial review, Loxo and Recruit CRM may both look like comprehensive, all-in-one platforms — but with Recruit CRM, you actually have to pay a ton of add-on fees just to maintain access to basic workflow automations, job postings, and advanced analytics. Some of these are even billed per user, which means costs can add up quickly.

So while Recruit CRM may seem like the cheaper option upfront, you actually get way more for your money with Loxo.

Unparalleled data

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

One of the biggest benefits to going with Loxo is our commitment to data quality. While many of our competitors force you to either engage a third-party vendor, Loxo has advanced sourcing, sales prospecting, and contact enrichment built into the Talent Intelligence Platform. You can source from our database of 1.2 billion professionals AND your internal database simultaneously, using custom filters and other metrics to sort your results.

Recruit CRM, on the other hand, doesn’t provide any new or novel data.

UI cards of Loxo's Talent Intelligence Platform

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.

Recruit CRM has a fully text-based interface that can be challenging to navigate quickly, and its job/project view is far from intuitive — with no natural workflow visibility.

Scalability

Loxo was designed with your growth in mind

Your database is your superpower. That means you need to be able to 1) fill it with as many qualified candidates as possible and 2) be able to sort through it with ease.

Loxo allows for unlimited candidate records and custom fields — which means you can fill your database with top talent and then source from it easily, with filters you created.

Recruit CRM's base plan limits you to 15 custom fields and 10,000 records.

“I invest hundreds of hours researching recruiting tech and Loxo is absolutely light years ahead.”

Words on a screen are one thing — seeing Loxo in action is another

Business development is a breeze

Loxo's in-platform Sales CRM is designed to make the entire business development process seamless with the rest of your workflow. Better yet, you can conduct your entire bizdev function in Loxo: from prospecting to designing custom multi-channel outreach sequences and beyond.

Bizdev in Recruit CRM is clunky — with several users reporting they'd rather just stick to manual tracking in spreadsheets.

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.

Recruit CRM may do an admittedly good job of following industry trends, but Loxo leads them. Choose the platform that will keep you ahead of the curve, not catching up to it.

Learning & support when you need it

We have US & Europe customer support teams ready to assist you. Our comprehensive Loxo Learning center is also filled with our best tips and most commonly asked questions — complete with a handy-dandy AI assistant who can help surface what you’re looking for.

Recruit CRM’s customer support team is largely offshore — and users report long wait times on support requests.
