Your search is only as good as what it's built on...

Yet every day, recruiters are running precision processes on top of imprecise foundations:

“The job description we got doesn't perfectly match what the hiring manager told us on the call..”
“We're working from a JD that was copied from the last time this role was filled, two years ago.”
“The requirements are so vague they could describe three completely different candidates.”

One source of truth across the entire job workflow

Because every part of Loxo leverages the same Skills DNA, search, matching, scorecards, and candidate submissions all stay aligned — and recruiter intent doesn't get diluted or reinterpreted like a bad game of Telephone at every downstream step.

Skills DNA

Go beyond a job description

Using real-time market data, company context, and role-specific skill mapping, the agent builds what we call Skills DNA: a structured definition of the role that captures core competencies, separates must-haves from nice-to-haves, maps required experience levels, and reflects what is actually available in the market.

Buildable

Work with whatever input you have

Simply paste in a client's job description, pull from an intake conversation, or start from a thin job order. The agent converts the information into structured Skills DNA automatically.

Flexible to your needs

Editable, versioned, and built to keep improving

 Skills DNA is not a one-off output. It's a persistent, structured object that recruiters can edit as role requirements evolve. Those edits feed back into the system and improve future searches over time.

Catch misalignment before it costs you

The Job Description & Skills DNA Agent is not built to simply make job descriptions faster to write (though it does do that, too). It was designed to make the foundation of your recruitment efforts more trustworthy. Instead of discovering a brief was off after a shortlist comes back wrong, you see that misalignment upfront — before the search is already in motion.

Better matches from the first search: That early-stage alignment means the gap between candidates who look good on paper and those who are actually right for the job shrinks. 
Submittals that hold up: When every recommendation traces back to a structured, market-informed definition the client aligned to, it becomes defensible. 
Consistency across every recruiter: When every search starts from the same trustworthy foundation, quality stops being variable. 

Frequently Asked Questions

If you've got questions about Loxo's Sourcing Agents, you came to the right place.
Don't all AI tools already write job descriptions?

Yes, but the difference is that they stop at text. Once that text exists, most systems are still trying to interpret it or break it into keywords to power search and matching. In Loxo, matching isn't based on the job description at all — it's based on Skills DNA, a structured role definition that exists before any job description prose is generated.

Further, a prompt gives you a single generated output that doesn't persist beyond that moment. Skills DNA becomes the foundation for everything else in the workflow — reusable, editable, and continuously improved as role definitions evolve. Every downstream system reads from it directly!

My recruiters just paste client job descriptions. Does this still work?

Yes, and that's expected. When a recruiter pastes a job description, the system doesn't rely on it as-is; it automatically converts it into Skills DNA through reverse extraction — so the structured foundation is always created, even when the original input is messy, incomplete, or inconsistent.

What if the hiring manager's JD and what they said on the call don't match?

That mismatch is one of the most common problems in recruitment. With Loxo’s Job Description and Skills DNA Agent, both the job description and intake conversation get translated into Skills DNA, which makes differences visible — and therefore resolvable — before a search goes sideways.

Will the Job Description and Skills DNA Agent invent requirements, compensation, or benefits it doesn't have?

No. LLMs are used to generate language, but structured fields like requirements, compensation, and compliance language come from controlled sources — recruiter input, market data that's clearly labeled as estimated, and customer configuration.

What about bias and compliance?

Matching and scoring are deterministic and explainable — every output can be traced back to the underlying structured criteria. The Skills DNA defines the role, and evaluation logic operates separately with explicit rules. That separation is intentional, and it's what keeps the system auditable.

Does this replace the intake call?

No — like we said, real recruiter judgement is invaluable and irreplaceable. Intake is still where the real expertise lives. What the Job Description and Skills DNA Agent does is capture the output of that conversation in a structured way so it isn't lost or reinterpreted at every downstream step.
