Recruitment software for technology companies

Every industry or niche has its own unique challenges — and recruiting for technology roles is distinct from other industries. That’s why we designed a version of Loxo’s Talent Intelligence Platform specifically for the nuances of tech recruitment.

Sourcing for a technology role in Loxo

Your recruitment homebase

Source, engage, and hire technology roles with ease

Built for the nuances of tech recruitment — 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 technology 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 can I recruit passive tech candidates?

To recruit passive tech candidates, you need to shift your focus from simply posting job ads to proactively building relationships and showcasing your company as a great place to work. Passive candidates aren't actively looking, so they won't be checking job boards. Instead, you need to reach them on platforms they frequent and with a compelling, personalized message. This involves leveraging professional networks like LinkedIn and GitHub, using employee referral programs to tap into existing connections, and showcasing a strong employer brand on social media and other online communities. You should engage with these candidates by offering valuable content, like industry insights or company news, to keep them interested and open to future opportunities. It's a long-term strategy focused on building trust and rapport.

What are the most in-demand programming languages?

Based on current trends, the most in-demand programming languages are shaping up to be Python, JavaScript, and Java. Python's dominance is driven by its versatility and its crucial role in the rapidly expanding fields of AI, machine learning, and data science. JavaScript, with its various frameworks and libraries, remains essential for both front-end and full-stack web development. Java continues to be a powerhouse for enterprise applications, cloud-native development, and big data processing due to its stability and scalability. Other languages gaining significant traction include C++ for high-performance applications and game development, C# for the Microsoft ecosystem and Unity game development, and Go (Golang) for cloud and systems programming.

How do you conduct an effective technical interview?

To conduct an effective technical interview, you need to move beyond simple "grilling" and create a fair and insightful experience. Preparation is key; before the interview, define the technical skills and knowledge a successful candidate needs for the specific role. During the interview, start with a few minutes of small talk to help the candidate relax before diving into the technical questions. Instead of brain teasers or "gotcha" questions, focus on real-world, job-specific problems or a collaborative pair-programming session. Encourage the candidate to explain their thought process out loud, as this reveals their problem-solving skills and communication style. It's also important to involve multiple interviewers to get different perspectives and to leave ample time for the candidate to ask questions, giving them a chance to learn about the company and the team.

What is the average time-to-fill for tech roles?

The average time to fill for a tech role can vary, but it's generally longer than for business roles. According to recent reports, it takes roughly 60 days or more to fill 75% of open technical positions. This is about 10 days longer than the average for business roles. Some sources suggest an even broader range, with the average time to hire in tech falling somewhere between 29 and 43 days, while others place the time-to-fill for a technical role between 60 and 90 days. This extended timeline is due to a combination of factors, including the need for highly specialized skills, a competitive market, and a more rigorous interview and assessment process.

How does Loxo ensure data accuracy?

Loxo has dedicated teams and departments that focus on validating and updating data. We don’t rely on customer imports or potentially inaccurate third-party sources. Generally speaking, you can trust Loxo’s independently-verified data even more than your own historical database — which is likely full of manually imported data that may contain errors or be outdated.
