However, as organizations face diverse recruiting challenges—from candidate evaluation to HRIS integration and employer branding—alternatives to Loxo may better address specific needs. This comprehensive comparison examines how Loxo stacks up against specialized competitors like Greenhouse Recruiting, Rippling HR Cloud, and Teamtailor, helping talent acquisition teams identify the optimal solution for their unique requirements.

Best alternatives to Loxo

For hiring teams that need sophisticated candidate evaluation tools:

Greenhouse Recruiting

Stackfix Rating:

6.0 / 10

Greenhouse Recruiting is a strong choice for sophisticated candidate evaluation, offering three key advantages over Loxo. First, Greenhouse’s interview scorecards are more comprehensive, allowing for granular skill assessments and nuanced candidate insights, while Loxo lacks depth in evaluation methods. Second, Greenhouse provides robust interview standardization tools through interview kits containing structured questions and guidelines, a feature Loxo doesn’t offer. Finally, Greenhouse includes built-in anonymized screening capabilities to reduce bias in candidate evaluation, whereas Loxo does not offer this functionality.

For companies requiring extensive HRIS integration:

Rippling HR Cloud

Stackfix Rating:

6.1 / 10

Rippling HR Cloud’s native HRIS integration makes it a strong choice for companies requiring extensive HRIS integration. Unlike Loxo, which lacks HRIS integrations, Rippling enables seamless data flow between recruiting and HR systems. When candidates are hired, their information automatically transfers to the HRIS, eliminating manual data entry and potential errors. Additionally, Rippling’s workflow automation and reporting capabilities allow companies to build custom cross-module workflows and gain unified insights across recruiting and HR data.

Stackfix Rating:

8.9 / 10

Teamtailor offers more customization capabilities and candidate experience features than Loxo for companies prioritizing employer branding through careers pages. While Loxo offers basic careers page customization, Teamtailor delivers a strong experience with its drag-and-drop builder, engaging features like team stories and candidate chat, and support for over 30 languages. Teamtailor’s careers pages can be fully customized with video content, custom styling options, and interactive elements that help showcase company culture and attract top talent.

Stackfix Product & Operations Lead

After building HR tech and spending countless hours on vendor selection in my previous roles, I discovered how painful it is to find the right business software. Now at Stackfix, I've dedicated over 800 hours to testing and reviewing software solutions so others don't have to go through the same struggle. I have a particular love for beautiful, opinionated products that do one thing exceptionally well and just work.

Stackfix Comparison

	Loxo	Greenhouse Recruiting	Rippling HR Cloud	Teamtailor

Our rating
Functionality	7 Functionality 7/10 <p>Loxo offers nearly all functionality that an SMB will need: email automation, a career site builder, CV parser, interview scorecards etc.) The most notable functions which is missing is candidate assessments which can incur the user extra costs should they wish to conduct such assessments.</p><p>AI sourcing features are particularly strong. New features now allow you to see why the AI has chosen to source a particular candidate.</p>	9 Functionality 9/10 <p>Greenhouse is a legacy, heavyweight ATS that offers all functionality that most companies, including enterprises will need.</p><p>The only features missing are the more delightful touches for candidate experience (e.g. allowing candidates to upload a video on their application form) or granular reporting functionality offered by newer ATS, such as Teamtailor and Ashby.</p>	6 Functionality 6/10 <p>Rippling's ATS can only used as an add-on to its HRIS. Together, they provides seamless sync between people and recruiting data, enabling real-time visibility into open and filled positions. The platform allows for management of headcount plans and compensation bands, and offers advanced analytics capabilities.</p><p>However, its ATS alone lacks some features key for handling high hiring volumes, such as a CV parser and candidate self-scheduling for interviews. </p>	9 Functionality 9/10 <p>Teamtailor offers all the functionality that most SMBs will need for hiring. In addition to core ATS features (track applicants over a pipeline, create job ad), Teamtailor allows you to compare candidates side-by-side, create highly customisable career pages with a no-code wbe builder, nurture candidates by sending them email sequences and more.</p>
Ease of Use	8 Ease of Use 8/10 <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Loxo has a simple and easy-to-use interface. We estimate an average start-up employee would require around 2 hours minimal guidance to master all the key functionalities of the product.</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Most functions and processes are easy to find and intuitive. Some more complex workflows can feel unnecessarily long-winded. For example, when adding custom questions to an application form, first a form must be created with all custom questions you wish to add and then this form can be added to your original application form. However, there are very few features like this.</span></p>	3 Ease of Use 3/10 <p>Users we've interviewed (and ourselves) find Greenhouse very complex, and difficult to locate key information. There are too many buttons to click to do something, so everything takes longer than it needs to.</p><p>Teams need to invest significant upfront time for training to fully utilize Greenhouse. </p>	7 Ease of Use 7/10 <p>Rippling's ATS is generally user-friendly and straightforward to navigate. However, there is a learning curve for reporting and building automation workflows, especially across HR+ATS modules.</p>	9 Ease of Use 9/10 <p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">Despite its very rich functionality, Teamtailor is very user-friendly. Key workflows such as creating a job opening, customizing an interview pipeline and setting up automations are all very straightforward and intuitive. </span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">An average SMB employee should require around an hour and minimum guidance to use the product proficiently.</span></p>
Look and feel	8 Look and feel 8/10 <p>Loxo is not stunning but it is, visually, more than acceptable. </p><p>The loading times between pages are also fast (~1 second) creating a frictionless UX.</p>	5 Look and feel 5/10 <p>We find Greenhouse visually acceptable but looks a bit tired/ dated both in its internal and external facing elements.</p>	6 Look and feel 6/10 <p>Rippling is visually acceptable, but we find that the layout can be a bit overwhelming at times. Page load times are acceptable. </p>	10 Look and feel 10/10 <p>Teamtailor <span style="color: rgb(9, 9, 11);">has a vibrant, modern design and instant load times that will be an absolute joy to use, for both your hiring team and candidates. </span></p>
Customisability	7 Customisability 7/10 <p>Loxo offers most of the customisations than any SMB will need. These include: customisable scorecards, interview pipelines, application forms (with plenty of question types), custom reporting functions and customisable outreach campaigns. However, some of these customisations are particularly extensive. For example, there is not option to an overall score to a candidate via the scorecard functionality and the careers page only offers basic customisations.</p>	8 Customisability 8/10 <p>Greenhouse offers high customizability. Users can customize fields, dashboards, alerts, scorecards, and even use custom CSS for external elements. </p>	6 Customisability 6/10 <p>Rippling offers less customisation than specialised ATS's. For example, you can't schedule buffer times between interviews, or enable file upload on job application forms.</p><p>However, it provides standard levels of customisability for other aspects like creating career pages and interview pipelines. </p>	8 Customisability 8/10 <p>You can customise most things with Teamtailor, from interview stages, job application forms, reports to widgets on the homepage. It also offers best-in-class customisability for careers pages.</p><p>The only things missing are more advanced customisability with reports and interview scheduling.</p>
Ease of Setup	9 Ease of Setup 9/10 <p>Loxo offers a free plan and purchasing doesn't require you to speak to sales. Completing basic setup takes <30mins and fully customizing key features takes approximately 1 business day.</p>	4 Ease of Setup 4/10 <p>Greenhouse does not offer a free trial and purchasing requires you to talk to sales. Due to Greenhouse's unintuitive user interface, it takes 30-60 mins to complete basic setup. Fully customizing key features takes approximately a week.</p>	5 Ease of Setup 5/10 <p>Rippling doesn't offer a free trial and requires you to speak to sales before making a purchase. The ATS is user-friendly making basic setup relatively simple compared to other ATSs; <30mins to complete. Some key features have a learning curve, therefore, fully customizing takes <1week.</p>	8 Ease of Setup 8/10 <p>Teamtailor offers a free trial without needing to speak to sales. However, to make a purchase, you have to speak to sales due to the custom pricing. It takes <30mins to complete basic setup (posting first job opening, add hiring team members, configure basic hiring stages). Fully customize key features (creating custom workflows, configuring integrations, branding the platform) takes <1week.</p>
Customer Support	10 Customer Support 10/10 <p>Customer service as Loxo is exceptional. E<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">mail, phone and video support is all offered, as well as, dedicated onboarding and setup consultations. A personalised Q&A is available via in-app, live chat with friendly, human agents who offer helpful response within minutes during business hours. </span></p><p><br></p><p>The self-service materials also have great depth and quality. Loxo's knowledge base and training centre a offers videos and articles with step-by-step instructions about how to use specific functions, as well as, tips about best practices to maximise Loxo's capabilities.</p>	6 Customer Support 6/10 <p>While we haven't been able to test this ourselves, users we've interviewed report that it takes longer for the support team to respond compared to competitors such as Lever and Workable.</p>	5 Customer Support 5/10 <p>Rippling's customer support seem somewhat inconsistent. We found it frustrating to deal with Rippling's AI chatbot in order to live chat with a human agent. Users we've interviewed also report having salesy account managers.</p><p>On the flip side, we've also had positive reviews of Rippling's support team being very hands-on and willing to help,</p>	10 Customer Support 10/10 <p>Teamtailor provides excellent in-app customer support during UK and US hours. Our testers found it super easy to connect with human agents, who are always friendly, helpful and willing to go above and beyond.</p>
Integratability	6 Integratability 6/10 <p>Loxo offers API that allows users to build desired integrations where necessary. However, they do not integrate with many third party hiring products. For example, they lack assessment software, background checks and HRIS integrations. Furthermore, some integrations are limited. For example, the integration with Zoom only allows you to click a 'join meeting' button. You cannot create or attend meetings through the Loxo UI.</p>	10 Integratability 10/10 <p>With 450 pre-built integrations with third-party tools and an open API, Greenhouse definitely has one of the richest integration ecosystem out of ATS's we've come across. It integrates with most HRIS's, screening and collaboration tools.</p>	7 Integratability 7/10 <p>Rippling has a rich integrations ecosystem with 500+ pre-built integrations, which includes 8 free job boards and 25k premium job boards. However, it crucially lacks integrations with candidate assessment tools and video interview tools. </p><p>It does offer an API for custom integrations.</p>	9 Integratability 9/10 <p>Teamtailor offers 350+ pre-built integrations covering key areas like HRIS, assessments, background checks, e-sign tools, and video interviews. It also connects to 32 free job boards and 100+ premium ones. It also offers an API for custom integrations.</p>
Ease of Migration	8 Ease of Migration 8/10 <p>Key data is available self-serve via the analytics dashboard. Custom metrics can be created and viewed on the same dashboard. This data can be exported to a CSV file self-serve.</p>	6 Ease of Migration 6/10 <p>We've found the reporting module of Greenhouse lacks flexibility and is not user-friendly. Exporting crucial candidate information, such as DE&I attributes, poses a challenge. Changes made to interview stages during the hiring process can also complicate data exports.</p>	8 Ease of Migration 8/10 <p>Rippling allows users to export key data data via self-serve. Export of most other data are also available via API or on request.</p>	8 Ease of Migration 8/10 <p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(67, 67, 67);">Exports of key data (candidate, job, employee data) are available via self-serve download to CSV.

How we test products

With so many Recruiting software options available, we focus on identifying the best solutions for small and midsize businesses. Our evaluation process reflects real-world usage, prioritizing functionality, ease of use, and overall value. Here’s how we do it:

Functionality

Recruiting software should streamline hiring workflows, improve candidate sourcing, and enhance the overall hiring process. We start by identifying key use cases—job posting, applicant tracking, interview scheduling, candidate communication, and analytics—then test how well each platform supports these needs. Tools that offer essential features without unnecessary complexity score highest.

User Experience & Onboarding

A great Recruiting tool should be intuitive for hiring managers and recruiters. We test each platform’s interface by navigating core features without prior training and track onboarding time—from account setup to managing the first job listing. Platforms that require complex setup or manual adjustments lose points.

Automation & AI Capabilities

Hiring teams need automation to manage high applicant volumes efficiently. We evaluate each platform’s automation features, such as resume screening, interview scheduling, and AI-driven candidate matching. Tools that enhance efficiency without adding unnecessary complexity score highest.

Integrations & Compatibility

Recruiting software must integrate smoothly with HR platforms, job boards, and communication tools. We test how well each product connects with essential business systems and assess whether native integrations or third-party connectors are required.

Pricing & Value

We compare pricing across competitors, analyzing what each plan includes and whether critical features are locked behind paywalls. Hidden costs—such as per-job posting fees, add-ons for AI-powered features, or required enterprise plans—are factored into our assessment. Platforms that offer strong core functionality at a fair price score highest.

Stackfix’s Fit Score

All of these factors contribute to Stackfix’s Fit Score, a proprietary ranking system that measures how well each Recruiting tool aligns with a buyer’s needs. It combines two key elements:

Requirements Met – How many buyer requirements the software fulfills
Stackfix Rating – Our expert assessment of the software’s overall quality, usability, and value

The result? A clear, data-driven recommendation that helps businesses choose the right Recruiting software—without hours of trial and error.

FAQs

What is Recruiting software?

Put simply, Recruiting software (also known as an Applicant Tracking System, or ATS) is a platform that helps businesses manage, track, and streamline the hiring process efficiently. It acts as a central hub for all recruiting activities, allowing teams to post jobs, source candidates, manage interviews, and track hiring progress—ensuring a seamless and organized hiring experience. The key features of recruiting software usually include:

Job Posting & Distribution: Tools to create job listings and automatically distribute them to multiple job boards and career pages.
Candidate Management: A structured system to track applicants throughout the hiring process, from initial application to final offer.
Resume Parsing & Screening: AI-powered tools that scan and categorize resumes to help recruiters quickly identify top candidates.
Interview Scheduling & Collaboration: Automated interview scheduling, integrated calendars, and shared feedback tools to keep hiring teams aligned.
Analytics & Reporting: Insights into hiring speed, candidate quality, and source effectiveness to optimize recruitment efforts.

What should I consider when buying Recruiting software?

Choosing the right recruiting software can make or break your hiring process—so it’s essential to find one that fits your hiring needs, integrates with your existing tools, and aligns with your budget. Here are the key factors to consider before making your decision.

Your Hiring Needs. Start by assessing your current and future hiring requirements. Do you need simple recruiting software for occasional hires, or are you scaling rapidly and require automation, multi-channel sourcing, and advanced analytics? Identifying your priorities will help you choose the right tool.
Ease of Use. Recruiting software should make recruiting faster and more efficient—not more complicated. Look for an intuitive interface that recruiters and hiring managers can use with minimal training. Overly complex platforms can slow down hiring and frustrate your team. That’s why Stackfix rates every recruiting software on ease of use—click into each product above to see how they compare.
Integration with Your Tech Stack. Your recruiting software needs to work seamlessly with your HR software, email, video conferencing tools, and calendar apps. If you use Slack, Zoom, or an HRIS for onboarding, check if the ATS offers native integrations or requires third-party connectors.
Scalability & Flexibility. As your business grows, your hiring needs will evolve. Ensure that the recruiting software can scale with your team, supporting multiple recruiters, departments, and hiring workflows. Look for features like customizable hiring pipelines, automation for repetitive tasks, and integrations with external recruiting agencies.
Pricing & Hidden Costs. Recruiting software pricing varies widely, often based on per-user fees, job postings, or advanced automation add-ons. What seems affordable now could become expensive as your hiring volume increases. Check for extra costs related to resume parsing, advanced reporting, and integrations with premium job boards.
Customer Support from the Vendor. Hiring is time-sensitive, so reliable customer support is essential. If something breaks or you need help setting up workflows, will the vendor be there? Look at response times, support availability (24/7 or business hours?), and self-service resources like help centers or community forums. Stackfix rates each recruiting software on support quality—click into each product to see how they compare.

What are the common mistakes to avoid when buying Recruiting software?

Avoiding common pitfalls when choosing Recruiting software can save you time, money, and hiring headaches down the line. Here are some of the biggest mistakes startups make—and how to avoid them.

Choosing based on features, not usability. Some recruiting platforms have powerful features but a steep learning curve. Make sure you’re picking a tool that fits your team’s workflow, not just one with a long feature list.
Ignoring automation. Many startups still manage recruitment manually when automation could significantly reduce workload. Look for tools that automate job postings, candidate communications, and interview scheduling.
Overlooking collaboration features. Hiring is a team effort, and a lack of collaborative tools (like shared candidate feedback, scorecards, or hiring pipelines) can slow down decision-making.
Not planning for scaling. Startups often pick recruiting software based on current needs, without considering future growth. Will the platform support multiple job openings, hiring managers, and applicant sources as you scale?
Underestimating integration depth. A platform might claim to integrate with your HR software or email system, but does it sync real-time data properly? Always test integrations before committing to a tool.

How much does Recruiting Software typically cost?

Most recruiting solutions range from free to $700+ per month, with entry-level options starting around $70-100 and premium solutions exceeding $250 monthly. Most vendors structure pricing in tiers based on features and hiring volume, so be sure to enter your requirements as accurately as possible in our pricing calculator.

Many top-rated solutions (like Loxo, Breezy, and Zoho Recruit) offer free plans with core functionality, making it possible to start without investment.

For enterprise plans and above, you can expect to speak to sales for a bespoke price. These custom quotes typically factor in integration needs, hiring volume, and compliance requirements. To skip the demo calls, be sure to check out our pricing calculator.
