Loxo combines an ATS, CRM, and sourcing database in a single platform, a strong fit for staffing agencies managing high-volume requisitions. Weekday is purpose-built for a different goal: getting engineering candidates to respond and getting them on your calendar, with multi-channel outreach across email, WhatsApp, and phone, a 50%+ response rate, a peer-vouched engineer network, and a no-hire, no-fee Contingency plan.

Loxo bundles ATS, CRM, and sourcing into one platform, a compelling offer if you are a staffing agency running dozens of requisitions simultaneously and need one system of record. For a startup hiring five engineers this year, the overhead of migrating to a new ATS, configuring workflows, and training your team is a distraction. Weekday integrates with your existing ATS and focuses on the outcome that matters: getting qualified candidates on your calendar.
Weekday's peer-vouching model has no equivalent in the Loxo platform. Software engineers in our network earn passive income by recommending colleagues they have personally worked with and trust. Every candidate you receive has been filtered by someone with firsthand technical knowledge. Loxo aggregates profiles from third-party sources. Weekday surfaces people who come pre-vetted by people who know them.
Loxo supports email sequences and an auto-dialer for phone calls. Weekday adds WhatsApp to the stack, a critical channel for reaching tech professionals across India and other markets where WhatsApp is the default communication layer. Our three-channel approach (email, then WhatsApp, then phone) is why our response rates consistently hit 50%+, well above what single or dual-channel outreach achieves.
On Weekday's Contingency plan, a dedicated senior recruiter runs your entire hiring process: sourcing, outreach, follow-ups, and interview scheduling. You only engage when candidates are ready to talk. Loxo is a platform your team operates, and operating it well requires trained users, ongoing campaign management, and someone accountable for results. For founders and lean teams, that overhead is real.
Weekday's Contingency plan charges 15% of annual salary, only when you make a hire. A 60-day replacement guarantee is included. Loxo charges a subscription regardless of whether any role gets filled. Weekday puts the risk where it belongs, on us.
Access verified work history and contact details for 80% of the Indian white-collar workforce, plus millions of professionals across the US, UK, and 7 other countries. Our database combines 20+ third-party data providers with our own job portal and Chrome extension to maintain the highest coverage and contact accuracy available.
Search by role, skills, seniority, company, location, and more. Surface the candidates most likely to be a mutual fit before sending a single message.
Weekday's AI writes high-converting outreach emails and sends multi-step follow-up sequences automatically. When a candidate doesn't respond to email, we send a WhatsApp message. If they still haven't responded, our team calls them directly. No other sourcing tool does this.
A trained senior recruiter uses Weekday on your behalf, sourcing, outreach, follow-ups, and interview scheduling included. You only meet candidates who are interested and available. Free if no hire is made. 60-day replacement guarantee included.
Get direct access to the full database, AI filters, and outreach credits. Run your own campaigns while Weekday's team handles WhatsApp and phone follow-ups in the background. Includes multi-seat collaboration and founder-level account management.
Screen inbound applications with Weekday's AI resume scorer at no cost. Prioritize the strongest candidates in your pipeline without lifting a finger.
Weekday plugs into your existing applicant tracking system. No migration required.
