Your recruitment homebase

Source, engage, and hire software engineers with ease

Built for the nuances of recruiting software engineers — from the talent to the timelines and beyond.

Find talent

Source candidates based on skills, certifications, and more

When hiring for tech roles, candidates often need specific skill sets — whether programming languages, frameworks, or beyond — which can make searching for the right candidates a challenge and a major time commitment.

In Loxo Source, you can use a combination of Boolean strings, fine-tuned filters, and our AI-powered best-fit candidate matching to help build a database filled with only the most qualified talent. For roles involving coding, you can sort talent by their Coder Score — which is ranked based on the technical requirements of your job description.

Loxo's Coder Score UI displays a candidate's past work information and a good score.

Build pipelines

Build a talent pipeline for high-volume roles

Many leading companies are competing for the same talent — creating what can feel like a shortage of qualified professionals. And the more specialized the role, the harder it becomes to find the right candidates.

Once you build up a pipeline of qualified candidates in Loxo, you can continue to nurture them over time — so that as hiring needs ebb and flow, you’ve always got a solid longlist.

You've got questions...

We've got answers! It's a very mutually-beneficial thing we've got going on here.

How do you assess the skills of a senior software engineer?

Assessing a senior software engineer requires a comprehensive approach that evaluates both their technical expertise and their soft skills. Look beyond basic coding challenges to gauge their ability to handle complex, real-world problems. A senior engineer should demonstrate a strong understanding of system design and architecture, not just writing code. Assess their ability to lead projects, mentor junior developers, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. Use a mix of practical assessments, such as pair programming sessions or take-home assignments that simulate actual work, and in-depth discussions about past projects where they had to solve a difficult problem. The interview process should also evaluate their communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, as these are crucial for a senior-level role.

What are competitive salary benchmarks for software engineers?

Competitive salaries for software engineers vary significantly based on experience, location, and company size. In the U.S., the average salary for a software engineer is around $112,000 per year. However, this number changes dramatically by seniority. Entry-level roles can range from $80,000 to $100,000, while senior software engineers with 5-10 years of experience typically command salaries from $118,000 to over $160,000. Top tech hubs like San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle have higher salary benchmarks, with senior roles often exceeding $150,000. Additionally, top-tier tech companies can offer much higher total compensation packages that include significant bonuses and stock options.

How can I attract top-tier software engineering talent?

To attract top-tier software engineering talent, you must create a compelling employee value proposition that goes beyond salary. Tech professionals are drawn to companies that offer challenging and innovative projects, so highlight your tech stack and the exciting problems they'll be working on. Emphasize a strong engineering culture that fosters continuous learning, provides opportunities for professional development, and values work-life balance. Showcase your team and their achievements, and use your company's blog or social media to give an inside look at your technical culture. A streamlined and transparent interview process is also crucial, as top candidates are often in high demand and won't tolerate a slow or disorganized hiring experience.

How does Loxo help me find software engineers based on specific skills?

Loxo helps you find software engineers based on specific skills by using a powerful Talent Intelligence Platform that combines AI-driven sourcing with advanced search functionalities. The platform allows recruiters to use a combination of Boolean strings and hyper-specific filters to pinpoint candidates with the exact skills, programming languages, and certifications needed for a role. Loxo's AI-powered best-fit candidate matching algorithms can also analyze job descriptions to recommend the most qualified professionals from its extensive database. For roles involving coding, the platform can even provide a Coder Score, which ranks candidates based on the technical requirements of your job description, ensuring you're engaging with the most relevant talent.

What is the average time to fill for software engineers?

The average time to fill for a software engineer role is typically longer than for other positions, largely due to the high demand for specialized skills and a rigorous interview process. While it can vary by company and seniority, the average time to fill for a technical role is generally between 60 and 90 days. Some sources suggest a slightly shorter average of around 35 days, but this often doesn't account for the full recruitment cycle. This extended timeline underscores the importance of having an efficient and streamlined hiring process to avoid losing top talent to competitors.
