The Truth About Talent Data

The 100% accuracy myth

In the recruiting industry, data is the most valuable—and most volatile—asset. Because professional information changes by the minute, "perfect" data is a myth. Even standalone data providers face the same "data decay" challenges.

The Loxo advantage is that our data engine is natively integrated into your workflow. Instead of chasing the illusion of “perfect” data, Loxo focuses on accuracy, verification, and reliability at scale. By using Loxo to help enrich partial data and using our AI Agent to keep your database automatically up to date, you eliminate the friction of disconnected tools and significantly reduce tech spend, as these credits and updates are built directly into your platform.

‍How data within Loxo works

Loxo manages a massive, living talent graph of over one billion publicly available profiles and public company records that are being refreshed on a continuous basis.. We don't just aggregate data; we validate it and enhance records through a triangulation method. 

‍Verification & accuracy

We triangulate billions of publicly available data points from a blend of trusted sources, partnerships and proprietary verification processes. Instead of relying on a single source (which creates a single point of failure), we cross-check multiple sources for any given record to validate changes or new information  when publicly available.

Enrichment types at Loxo

• Professional Contact information (email / phone number)
• Company information
• Experience Profiles: Current/past titles and company professional work experience
• Education & Skills: Degrees, schools, certifications, and skill sets
• Contact & Location:  Geographic location and updated contact paths when publicly available

‍Our standards

Loxo maintains data accuracy well above the market average. Our dedicated internal data team continuously manages cleansing and quality control to ensure consistent performance at scale.

• Data integrity & sourcing practices: We provide a professional discovery platform and AI insights. To facilitate our Services, we obtain professional and business-related data from third-party data aggregators and providers. This data is exclusively "Publicly Available Information" that individuals have knowingly made available to the general public via professional social networks, company websites, and public business registries.  We source from a variety of premium global data partners and apply our proprietary cleaning and deduping algorithms to ensure the highest accuracy.  

• Global variations: Data availability, freshness and regulations vary by region, each with its own compliance requirements that Loxo is committed to following. As a result, data coverage is not uniform worldwide.  Some countries have more publicly available data than others and Loxo and all recruiting software companies have to closely follow global regulations and data privacy laws.

• Data protection:  Your private CRM data is private to you. Loxo never pulls your private records or information that you enter in your own private database into our public sourcing pool.  Loxo’s talent graph and proprietary data  are on completely different servers and completely isolated.  We exclusively ingest Publicly Available Information (PAI) that has been collected in accordance with global privacy frameworks, including GDPR and CCPA.

‍Continuous health

Most databases begin to "decay" the moment they are created. Loxo prevents this by turning your CRM into a dynamic, self-updating environment.

Loxo’s Self-Updating CRM agent continuously enriches your records with several layers of data, allowing you to personalize outreach and improve targeting without having to invest the manual time and labor to do this one at a time yourself.

Additionally, Loxo’s Deduplication agent automatically identifies and merges fragmented records, ensuring your team isn't wasting time on three different versions of the same candidate.

‍Our strategic promise

We are relentless in our pursuit of data excellence. We understand that recruiters are often skeptical of data tools—and rightly so. Our goal isn't to claim perfection in an imperfect world; it is to provide the most reliable, verified, and comprehensive platform available.

By starting your search in Loxo and allowing our agents to handle the heavy lifting of enrichment, you spend less time on manual data entry and more time building the human relationships that close deals.
