Considering a Loxo alternative? Start with what your agency needs

Replacing an agency ATS is a different decision from adding a candidate source. Loxo combines ATS, CRM and sourcing products. CandidateForce is an option to evaluate when your immediate need is registered regional candidates and a connected hiring workflow for European vacancies.

A decision for your hiring team

Separate your system of record from your next candidate source

Loxo’s published plans combine recruiting operations with different levels of sourcing and automation. CandidateForce should be assessed on the profiles, contact access and employer workflow it actually offers. If your agency already has a client CRM, an additional sourcing channel may solve the immediate vacancy without a full migration. If you want to replace that CRM, document the requirements before evaluating either subscription.

What you are comparingLoxoCandidateForce
Main product scopeLoxo positions its platform around an ATS and recruitment CRM, with sourcing, outreach and data capabilities that vary by plan. [1]Candidate search, job distribution, a hiring pipeline, translated chat and interviews are connected in the employer workspace. Access depends on the plan or contact unlock.
Commercial modelPublished plans use per-user subscriptions and annual commitments. Sourcing and additional capabilities depend on the selected tier. [1]One contact costs €25. A prepaid 50-credit pack costs €800, equivalent to €16 per contact. Subscriptions are a separate option for continuing recruitment.
Candidate discoveryLoxo combines searches of an agency’s private database with its own sourcing products, depending on the plan. [2]Search registered candidate profiles by occupation, experience and language. Check location, availability and willingness to relocate before choosing whom to contact.
Starting a smaller evaluationAssess the plan, users and migration requirements for the agency workflow you intend to run. [1]Job posting and candidate search are free. Contact data and messaging are unlocked with credits or a suitable subscription.

A contact unlock is not a hire. Job advertising, candidate data and recruiting subscriptions are different services.

Before you choose
01

Write down the migration requirements

Client records, candidate history, permissions, notes and reporting must be checked separately from candidate sourcing. Ask what data can be exported and imported, in which format and at what cost. This page does not claim that CandidateForce migrates or replaces every Loxo function.

02

Test the pool against a live mandate

Take a real European client vacancy in logistics, production, construction or hospitality. Define the language, experience and location constraints, then inspect available profiles. A relevant shortlist is the strongest reason to add a source; a feature count alone does not demonstrate that fit.

03

Match spending to how you recruit

For intermittent searches, contact packs give a defined purchase unit. For continuing recruitment, evaluate the current CandidateForce subscriptions as well. Compare that total with the users and functions required in an agency suite, keeping the scope of the two purchases explicit.

When CandidateForce fits

Your next mandate needs a different candidate pool

Evaluate CandidateForce as a regional sourcing and recruitment channel when a client is open to suitable candidates from the Balkans. The agency can begin by inspecting profiles rather than migrating its whole operating system.

When another option fits

You need an integrated agency ATS and CRM

Keep Loxo or another agency suite in the evaluation when client records, sourcing automation, reporting and a unified system of record are central requirements. Validate each feature in the plan you are considering.

  1. What you can do on the platform

    Candidate database
    • Search candidate profiles
    • Post jobs and collect applications
    • Manage the hiring pipeline
    • Message candidates directly
    • Message candidates in their language (auto-translated)
    • Schedule and run interviews
    • Track status from first contact to start
  2. Test a real vacancy before changing your recruitment stack

    Distribution

    Choose one live role, define the required skills and languages, and review the available profiles. Keep the shortlist, candidate conversations and interview decisions together. A small, measurable search tells you more than switching every recruiting channel at once.

Registered on regional portals

Workers create their profiles on connected Western Balkan job portals, not scraped from elsewhere.

Complete profiles only

Candidates appear once their profile reaches the required completeness, so the data is usable.

Experience and qualifications

Work history, language level, driving licences and certificates are visible on each profile.

FAQ

Common questions

This page does not claim feature-for-feature replacement. Loxo is positioned as an agency ATS and CRM suite. CandidateForce offers its own candidate pool and recruitment workflow. Assess client CRM, permissions, reporting and migration individually before deciding to replace an existing system.
