Using Loxo's Hiring Manager Portal

A how-to guide for clients and hiring managers

Loxo's Portal is designed to give decision-makers, such as hiring managers, members of HR, and upper management, insight into active searches by offering visibility into the actual Pipeline being used to track their candidates.

The Portal allows contacts to:

  • See candidates in different stages throughout the Job Pipeline.

  • Open candidate profiles to view key background information such as work experience and education.

  • Leave comments or ratings for candidates, which will drive the project forward.

Loxo users can set up their Portals to include additional details that are essential for their specific hiring processes. Continue reading below for more information on accessing and navigating the Loxo Hiring Manager Portal.


Accessing the Portal

Once a Loxo user has given you access to view a Portal for a Job, you will either receive an invitation to collaborate on the Job in your inbox, or the user can share a hyperlink with you directly. The link will be used to open the Portal. Upon opening the Portal, you will be prompted to enter a Verification Code.
​


Codes will be sent from Loxo automatically and delivered to the same email address that the Loxo user entered when they invited you to the Portal. Verification Codes do expire after 1 hour, so you may need to re-open the link to receive a fresh code if the first one has expired before you were able to finish accessing the Portal.
​

Once you've received your invite link, be sure to handle this with the same care as any other sensitive information. Since Loxo's Portal gives real-time access to an actual agency's open project and includes real people's data, it's best to treat your Portal link like you would a password or other login credentials.
