Eightfold Candidate Relationship Management vs Loxo

Eightfold Candidate Relationship Management helps employers run scheduled campaigns to engage candidates already in their talent pool. Recruiters can target people by location, experience, functional area, and other criteria, or use AI to select candidates likely to be interested. Communications can go by email or SMS, and automation is intended to reduce campaign effort. Recruiter tools include email authoring, A/B testing, real-time audience filters, scheduled messages, and one-click follow-up. Analytics cover interaction funnels, geography, audience characteristics, and outcomes. Campaigns can be used to nurture alumni, employee referrals, diversity audiences, and other groups. The CRM is part of Eightfold Talent Acquisition, with no additional integration or technology purchase stated for that setup; it can also sync two ways with an existing ATS and manage profile deduplication, cleanup, updates, and enrichment. The product is available through web and API, and pricing is on request. Eightfold says customer data is hosted on AWS with regional data residency and is not used in identifiable form to train its AI models.

Loxo is a recruiting platform that brings together candidate sourcing, recruiting CRM, applicant tracking, outreach, people data, and AI agents. Its talent graph contains more than 850 million people, and every plan includes natural-language search ranked by relevance. Agents can assist with job intake, drafting job descriptions and Skill DNA, building candidate longlists and shortlists, and outreach. Loxo says the automated workflow stops at the shortlist, leaving candidate decisions to a person. The platform is available on the web, through an API, and as an extension. Core includes a Chrome extension; API access is listed for Professional. Core costs $149 a month per user, billed annually and paid up front. Professional costs $199 a month per user on the same billing basis and includes 2,500 monthly credits per seat, pooled across the team; unused credits expire each cycle. A 7-day trial offers full Professional access without a credit card. Enterprise has custom annual pricing.
