Zoho Recruit for internal recruitment
The Human Resources team use it to manage the whole recruitment process: adding candidates, scheduling interviews, uploading files pertinent to candidates such as curriculum vitae, and others, add notes, adding relationships to job openings, status follow-up, as well as adding some custom fields we use to register test results and psychometric evaluations.

Great For Startups and Small Agencies
Zoho Recruit is currently being used by our recruiting and sourcing team. Zoho Recruit allows us to track our client activity, post jobs, manage candidates, manage our recruiting workflow, the source for top talent and keep track of all of our job openings, in one place. We benefit from using Zoho because they offer unlimited job postings (for example, if we have the same job posting in multiple cities, with Zoho Recruit we can post each role individually).
- Allows for unlimited job postings. While there may be other bells & whistles with other ATS's, we've stayed with Zoho Recruit for this top reason- we can post as many jobs as needed, at the same time. No need for reshuffling job postings. This saves us a lot of time.
- Manages the staffing agency workflow process. Where staffing agencies differ from HR Team, Zoho Recruits' staffing agency technology allows us to jump right into managing our workflow with a technology that is already set up to support how we need to do this.
- Connecting clients to candidates, managing emails, scheduling interviews - all in on place. We have the capability to use the software in a way where we don't need to work outside of it- from posting the job to managing the offer details, we can do all of it in ZohoRecruit.
- Integrations- Zoho Recruit does work to add on additional integrations with job boards, etc.
- User Interface - It's a bit outdated, and can use significant refreshing. Having the ability to train our new team members on an easier-to-use UI would save us a lot of time. Although Zoho adds on new features, their UI isn't the best to work with.
- Career Site - Very limited. Without having to hire a developer, the average user is stuck with the limited functionalities of Zoho Recruit's career site. There is no option for our candidates to sort through jobs, we have limited UI control on the layout experience, no room for video, etc.
- Mobile app- The app has very limited functionality and does not allow us to manage the entire recruiting process via mobile. And at times it crashes or freezes.

It's a Go Go for Zoho!
Zoho Recruit is a platform used to help get job applicants. Usually it's tiered to small/medium size businesses or organizations but within our large organization (10,000 + employees) we found use for this tool within different divisions as it's easy to use, has a great user interface, and has allowed for our process for recruiting to really be streamlined.
- Very simple user-interface.
- Database management is well organized.
- Background screening is key.
- Applicant tracking is great.
- Lack of external facing customer portals.
- More elaborate customization of pipelines.
- Greater range of email templates.

Zoho Recruit - Great recruiting product
We love using Zoho Recruit because it integrates perfectly with other Zoho products and is super easy to use. Because most of our team uses other Zoho products, they also use Recruit and were able to pick up this tool relatively easily since it is very intuitive like most other Zoho products.
- Intuitive to use - things are easy to find and to make sense of.
- The pricing is fair.
- Integrates with other Zoho products.
- Support could be better for this product.
- Mobile system needs to be improved.
- More ways to be able to visualize the pipelines.
This is just one of the exemplary services that the Zoho suite has to offer us in terms of business management, which in this case, encompasses the direct administration of human resources operations. We liked Zoho Recruit very much because it synthesizes all the HR tools in a single software, with very high integration capabilities.
- Like other HR-based services, Zoho Recruit allows you to track the behavior of candidates during the execution of your hiring process, so that you can create constant notes of any problems that may arise and that may prevent a proper job.
- The relationship between employers and candidates can be measured, which is excellent for creating reports on the development of each hiring process, and employees can then be evaluated on their ability to manage and communicate correctly with each candidate under their direct care.
- Hiring sessions can be recorded using a variety of methods. It does not necessarily have to be done using an audiovisual recording tool (which is possible through different integrations) but a convenient recording system that allows you to note down important data, and where even the candidate's photographs can be saved.
- We believe that some features of Zoho Recruit's support service could be improved, although this is probably a general service by the Zoho team for all their programs. The staff is not sufficiently explanatory, and therefore we have not been able to meet our expectations for troubleshooting.
- We like that using Zoho Recruit is so convenient, and that it interfaces well with the other services that the entire Zoho suite has to offer: Zoho Recruit is a good alternative for human resources, which shows a reliable and easy-to-manage operability, so that all registration and follow-up processes are simple.
- Zoho Recruit has difficulty integrating with other services that are not directly part of the Zoho suite, which is demonstrated by wanting to use a funnel management based CRM to include employee information, and Zoho Recruit's platform not allowing it because it doesn't meet some integrations beyond their suite.
- You can't create portals where people can post their resume and quick contact information, and this can be a bit limiting for those who directly need employees to send their information to an easily accessible service where it can be conveniently reviewed and separated from the rest.
- In terms of deployment, Zoho Recruit does not have such good adaptability when working from mobile, as evidenced by its application tracking function with the mobile version of the Zoho Recruit website, which does not let you send direct messages to candidates because the platform is closed unexpectedly.

Help recruit new hires with Zoho Recruit
We use Zoho Recruit to track candidates, as an ATS, and to manage and schedule interviews. It solves the issue of having multiple places where these things are stored and helps us to stay organized by making sure everything is one place and there is no overlap. We just have a few people in our company who use this software and they are those who work in hiring and managers.
- Background screening.
- Applicant tracking.
- Interview management.
- Job board.
- Scalable.
- Billing.

Great Job Applicant Management Software
Zoho Recruit is working great to help with the onboarding management of applicants. We use it to recruit and manage job applicants. What makes it so nice is it simplifies the managing of the people, keeps everything in a central location and really helps us manage the job postings and applicants that come from it.
- Pushing job postings to multiple sites.
- Managing the applicants in a central location.
- Helps with recruiting communications and tracking.
- Great to track resumes submitted.
- I wish this also had the ability to manage employees once they are hired.

Zoho Recruit is helpful for you
We use Zoho Recruit to track applications and prospective new employees as well as to post new jobs. It is primarily used by our HR department although another large department that handles most of the process of hiring within their department uses it as well. It enables us to easily track and manage a prospective hire through the entire process as well as makes it easy to post new opportunities within our company.
- Job posting
- Tracking prospects
- Managing the interviewing process between departments
- Termination process tracking
- Equipment issued
Zoho Recruit is a very powerful tool for managing the end to end hiring process for our organization. It is being used by the HR and all the key heads of departments and CXOs. Zoho Recruit is also integrated with other Zoho products that we use in the company, hence other teams make use of the tool or some of its interconnected features too.
- Managing interview candidate
- Managing the evaluation process
- Internal HR processes
- Candidate / internal communication
- Application tracking and shortlists
- Limited customisation possibilities
- Support could be better
- UX could be better

Zoho Recruit gets the job done in organizing my candidates!
We use Zoho Recruit as an applicant tracking system. Our company does two things - hire entry-level business development reps and outside sales roles for our clients. Only the recruiting department uses Zoho Recruit (2 people). It is good for organizing candidates and making sure none slip through the cracks since it is such a high volume of candidates we're speaking with.
- Easy-to-use interface.
- Organizing applicants and candidates.
- Reminding me to reach back out to candidates at a particular time.
- Doesn't download every resume properly if it is weirdly formatted.
- Hard to add a resume to current candidates.
- I can set reminders, but it doesn't send me an email on it like ATS's I've used in the past.

Best Resume Tracking Tool for anyone serious about being professional in their Recruitment process
As a small startup that is sourcing candidates across roles from various free and paid sites and sources, we needed an efficient tool that would help us track candidates through the recruiting process and also to prevent duplicates from multiple sources. While Excel does work, it is cumbersom to use in the long run, cannot be shared easily across multiple resources and does not have automated workflow rules. Zoho Recruit solves all these problems and then some.
- Zoho Recruit provides automated workflows that be defined to trigger emails for changes in the pipeline stage of a candidate.
- Zoho Recruit provides the ability to create email templates that can be triggered from the candidates profile without having to retype them.
- Zoho Recruit enables resume parsing from doc, docx and pdf files which automates the data entry of candidates.
- Zoho Recruit allows for the creation of a simple career website with the open job positions auto populating from the application onto the site.
- Zoho Recruit allows for the creation of vendor portals enabling you to better manage the flow of resumes from recruiting vendors.
- Zoho Recruit should allow for customization of pipelines based on department/role to be hired.
- Zoho Recruit should allow for customization of the vendor portal allowing the vendor to type in key data points about candidate profiles that are typically not found on the resume, such as notice period, current salary and expected salary.
- Zoho Recruit could simplify the blueprinting process built into the tool which allows for smooth flow of candidates through the system.

Great to know the right person to get the job done
I’ve worked with Zoho Recruit for over a year and we are growing as a small business. This software allows us to show our vacancies within our business on social media and take possible candidates to fill vacancies as our needs began to grow. The business problems that it addresses are the vacancies open which we need to be filled with candidates that have a certain worker profile. It is mainly used by our IT department.
- Easy to use and very intuitive to the user.
- Very nice dashboard makes it easier for the user to make decisions.
- The price is very affordable
- Sometimes the integration with other software is suspended and connected again later.
- The customize phase of the software should be easier.
- The editing is still restrictive.

Why Zoho can help your small to midsize company grow
Being a small firm and starting up Zoho has allowed us to manage our database as it grows. From a free standpoint it is great to help mitigate the upfront cost to a startup like myself. The more I grow and use it the more it has to offer and feel, it is a perfect software to use in my industry.
- Zoho's easy to use resume database and tracking system has helped manage a lot of data. Its ease of use and full function - I will need as I grow.
- Job board posting and client track is another great feature. It truly allows me to go from first contact to hires using the system.
- I will say the staff and support team have always been quick to reply and very helpful.
- I think it's easy to use, but can be a bit daunting learning how to use it. I highly suggest reading all of the help links they offer to get used to the system.

Best HR solution for your startup
- Job posting, linking a candidate to the job, and parsing use directly.
- Posting a job to a third party app like Naukri.com and Indeed, etc., directly from the application platform.
- Customizing candidate forms for the various types of job vacancies.
- Well-managed pipeline structure which helps to map the overall process of recruitment.
- Scheduling interviews
- Control over the candidate activity like blocking their logins for preventing misuse.
- There should be more customization options for making our own pipeline for recruitment
- Need to add feedback forms for each progress and interview. We struggled over a year to capture feedback of an interview
- Need to improve assessment capabilities, like include more features
- Unclear if we can decide pipeline for each and every job
- Unclear what we should do if we make slight changes to our selection process
- Support team needs to improve support.

Money well spent
We use Zoho as our main CRM system for recruiting. It helps us to track candidates through the pipeline and for business development.
- great for housing resumes
- love that I can toggle from indeed, monster and career builder
- The LinkedIn feature is great when you want to hover over a company
- there are a lot of features on the dashboard
- wish I was able to make better templates
- wish the app worked like the desktop

Zoho Recruit has streamlined our recruiting processes!
We use Zoho Recruit to build applications for our training program and staff roles in our office, and to track applicants all the way through the application and on-boarding process. We also use Zoho People for personnel information, so we can easily transfer information from Recruit to People when an application is accepted.
- It has been easy to set up and manage application forms and information forms for conferences and other recruiting events.
- Forms are super customizable.
- We have had some trouble recently migrating application information into Zoho People after applicants have been accepted, but customer support has been really helpful.

Great functionality at a great price
We use Zoho recruit as out Application Candidate Tracking system here at Compustaff. We are a recruitment consultancy. It manages all our candidate interaction and indeed out work flow. We use it to import candidates into the system, we import their CV/resumes and manage the interaction with them through the complete hiring process.
- Phrasing CVs/resumes well is critical. To key in all this information takes a long time, zoho recruit does it accurately and usually in less than 30 seconds.
- Adding relevant notes on the fly is great, it's easy to do and easy to retrieve.
- It's just so easy to use, it's great. No fancy frills, it just does everything well and and very quickly.
- It's great value for money.
- Perhaps I would like the dashboard to be a little easier to read, easier on the eye.
- I would like to be easier to update data job data to social media sites.
- More templates for standard emails, etc.

Excellent value for money
We are a small recruitment agency who have recently started trading. We use Zoho recruit for tracking all of our business activity. It allows us to keep track of candidates, clients and vacancies.
- Zoho has all the features expected of a recruitment CRM system. Between my business partner and I we have used a few systems and have found Zoho to be a comparable system for a fraction of the cost.
- Zoho is easily modified to what you require. Although we are fairly IT capable, we are by no means complete experts, and we managed, within a very reasonable time to create and apply elements which were of use to us.
- Great cloud based system - sign in from anywhere.
- Good response from customer service.
- As a browser based system, it can get a little confusing with tabs / working with other web pages. That said we have created a link to sit on our desktop which keeps it separate. However, this means you cannot have multiple pages up at the same time i.e. a candidate and a client page.

Zoho - Second time around - much better product
Zoho is currently being evaluated for utilization in our recruitment division. Once the product is evaluated there we will also evaluate it for use in business development and operations. Overall the product currently helps us track candidates, their licensure, the ability to work and the ongoing communication with our potential candidates.
- Parsing seems to be very effective and accurate.
- Costs are well documented and are reasonable.
- Zoho provides good customer support when needed.
- Fields are able to be modified as needed.
- Integration with Outlook, e-mail and templates seems to be a bit clunky.
- Templates are not as easy to use as we would like.
- The ability to flow chart fields (parent, child) not included (that I am aware) on this product.
February 02, 2017
A great buy for the money
Zoho Recruit helped our company get up and running on a small budget and continues to deliver value over time as we continue to use it and the other peripheral products like Zoho Invoice and Zoho CRM all of which communicate well and share work flow and data across the platform. I have been able to scale up and down with new and former users with ease.
- Ease of implementation compared to other ATS/CRM platforms out there.
- Careers page was very easy to set up compared to other ATS/CRM platforms out there which literally require advanced programming skills to implement.
- Zoho Recruit talks to all other Zoho products like CRM, Invoice, Accounting, etc., - Easily integrates with third-party tools like Phone Bridge, etc., - Is a great value for the money as they do not charge you extra for this feature.
- My personal feeling is that the Zoho CRM could just be included as a module into Zoho Recruit as a scaled down feature compared to the full blown capabilities of the CRM alone.
- Zoho should work to expand more job board integration.
- Radius search currently lacking :-( but on the roadmap to be delivered early next year :-) Lacks integration with finance software. Some fields are locked down and can't be re-labelled but to be fair this is minimal. Skill setting needed some tweaking but happy with where we have got to with that now!
- Radius search currently lacking and this is definitely important tool to have.

The best bang for your buck
I am using Zoho recruit on a daily basis for all of the positions I have to fill. It's easy to learn and user-friendly. Posting to boards is very easy and marketing my positions is too. The only down point about Zoho Recruit is that it's not suited for a competitive recruiting environment.
- Posting my positions to free job boards
- Easy to fill forms
- Easy to market my positions
- Allow a sales tracking system to be implemented
- [Add] marketing management, newsletters and other stuff recruiters need to do to stay "top of the mind" for their clients.
- Ability to manage my newsletter and my marketing towards my clients on Zoho

Zoho Recruit A Must Try For ATS
Zoho Recruit is our one and only trusted source for applicant tracking, we use it for all job postings, follow-up, searching and engagement. Our organization has found this solution easy to use and free flowing with customizations. My only major concern is the difficulty in which there has been to get the jobs page to post to my physical site and when you call IT they say they'll call back, and never do!
- Running in-depth searches
- Fully customizable and easy to set up
- Intergraable with the HR platform Zoho People
- Need better technical support like the CRM for premium paying customers
- The abilty to shrink the screen to real time size automaticlly
- Directly intetrgrate all campaigns and surveys

Zoho Recruit - A great tool for small teams and large.
We use Zoho Recruit to share information across offices; we track candidate communication, resumes, client interaction and lists. The information is searchable - and we use the reporting tools to track metrics and create call lists. Additionally, saved searches allow for a quick call list to be generated when a new job order comes in.
- Lists - can quickly generate lists based on criteria.
- Saved documents - Zoho catalogs resumes and cover letters for easy retrieval with a date stamp on when they were received.
- Being able to code candidates allows them to be searchable and listed by skill and location.
- When searching for a name, it brings up much too broad of a list.
- Adding candidates from LinkedIn sometimes has a lengthy delay and takes up to 2 minutes to be able to search from them, though I have found a workaround by navigating to the home page to find activity of adding a candidate.
- Would be helpful if it were more intuitive with adding duplicates.

Applicant tracking system for startups or growing businesses
Zoho Recruit software is a good tool for recruitment management. It is everything you need to start your recruitment. Ideal for startups or growing businesses.
- Clear interface, easy to use.
- Good price.
- Integrated with other Zoho apps.
- Old-fashioned style Careers website creation tool.
- Overall design a bit old-fashioned.
November 21, 2016
Its the best software for recruitment management I've seen, don't hesitate to use it.
Zoho Recruit is a simple to use system that we use to manage the recruitment department end to end.
- The CV parsing facility that auto populates the candidates profiles is super.
- It's very good for mass emailing of candidates, the parsing splits out skill sets and makes it very searchable.
- The step by step process flow makes things very simple for the user.
- Some of the more high tech functions like customised email require some technical knowledge to set up.
