Loxo Review
4.6(168)Talent intelligence platform with a 1.2B-profile sourcing database
Loxo bundles the CRM with a massive talent database and outreach engine, letting outbound-heavy firms drop separate sourcing subscriptions. For exec search it's a category of one; for temp staffing it's the wrong tool, and the sticker price is now among the highest in the SMB segment.
