Zoho Recruit is a powerful recruitment platform for managing the process of human workforce hiring and we use it in our organization to expedite and improve the process acquiring our staff and its stable and efficient to use. It executes applicant tracking with ease and simplifies the process of advertising a job, going through the applications and eventually coming up with the successful individuals.

- Simplifies the tricky process of applicant hiring and this ensures that we acquire talented staff all through in our organization.
- Comes with other additional modules such as document collaboration and this further enhances the efficiency and make our operations more accurate.
- Its accurate and overs a complete overview of the hiring process recording and tracking each step ensuring transparency is maintained.
- Since its cloud-hosted sometimes its usage is affected by poor internet connections derailing its usage.
- It has been stable apart from the above problem and we cannot complain in the usage of the platform.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
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

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.

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.

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 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.
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.

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 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 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
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.

- Easy to implement and use.
- Low price.
- Great dashboard.
- Job site can be more detailed.
- Bulk mail function can be better.

We use Zoho Recruit to recruit and place international teachers in schools around the world. The entire organization (2 recruiters and 1 customer service rep) uses it to manage our entire recruiting workflow - from posting jobs, receiving applications and resumes, forwarding candidates on to the schools, moving candidates throughout the hiring process, to following up with candidates at all steps. We also use Zoho to mass email candidates with alerts of newly posted jobs. We also use Zoho's API capabilities to have schools post jobs directly into Zoho themselves.
- Cost as a Third Party Recruiter - We have researched hundreds of ATSs suitable for a third party recruiter and we love Zoho because it does nearly everything it's bigger competitors do at a quarter of the cost.
- Automated emails - in particular we use the automatic e-mails functionality all the time, which you can associate with a particular status for candidate. So any recurring e-mail text can be set up to link to a particular phase of the recruiting process, or anything you want actually, and then any candidate status can be changed to automatically send them the e-mail.
- Job boards - Zoho has excellent options when it comes to posting on job boards. It integrates with indeed.com, Although you do have to pay indeed separately. And it posts to other free job boards automatically like glassdoor.com.
- Ease of use - Zoho is very easy to set up and maintain in terms of integration with your website. You don't even need technical skill, and it can filter all the Jobs and list them in whatever way you want.
- Customizable - one of our favorite things is how customizable Zoho is. From the application form and individual fields to the layout of job listings to particular steps in the recruiting process that you need, you can change anything to suit your needs.
- Support - whenever anyone has a question, or (rarely) a problem, Zoho email support responds usually within hours of an inquiry.
- Updates and improvements - with their new candidate login capability (due out any day now) and (later) automatic job alerts to candidates Zoho will have absolutely everything a recruiter could want.
- Mass email - the mass email is a bit cumbersome to set up - you have to set up a new template, then in a separate place set up a filter for the emails, then put it all together and send the email. It takes about 15-20 minutes when it would be nice if it was easier and quicker. When they introduce job alerts (I'm told in a few months time), the automatic job alerts to candidates will relieve some of the mass email necessity, so that will be helpful.
- Email integration - the email client attached to Zoho isn't very user friendly, it would be useful if Zoho had a plug-in to permit seamless integration with external email clients, like Outlook or MacMail.
- Invoicing - Zoho has no integration or capability to track what happens with clients once a candidate is placed. It would be nice if we could somehow track the fee for a candidate and the total fees we need to charge each client. Or, better yet, if it integrated with an external invoicing tool like Freshbooks.
I have been a regular user of Zoho Recruit and it's a real life saver. As an HR professional it becomes difficult to keep track of interviews and candidates but with Zoho it is a very simplified process. Love how it works and how easy it is to set up. The email automation and the interview scheduling is the part that I like the most, as life has never been made so simple before. I'm surely going to be using Zoho Recruit forever - never switching to any other software. Thank you, Zoho.
- The Email Automation is definitely the star of the software.
- Workflow Automation makes manual work minimal.
- Exporting resumes directly without manually having to add them is superb.
- I really like how it works, but if we as the admin could get a notification of acceptance of the email by the candidate (or email tracking) it would be easier to understand if the candidates have checked our emails.
I am just starting to set up recruiting on my own and researched thoroughly all of the different systems to use. I needed something that would save me some admin time, allow me to record (emails as I was on the move) and also have a good search function.
- Time efficiency - I didn't want to spending loads of time adding CVs and records, I needed to be spending my time developing my business rather than admin! The CV parsing is really easy to use and saves me a whole load of time.
- Searchability - one of the things I really wanted to ensure I could do is have complex searches for candidates and clients. Zoho Recruit lets you easily search on all fields and access saved criteria at the click of the mouse.
- Not that easy to use attached documents, unless I haven't figured out the best way to do it yet. I usually have 3 set documents for each candidate so writing each out, loading to docs, then attaching to the candidate seems to have one step too much in it. However, this is the only thing I have found which I could say wasn't fantastic.
- Functionality of mobile apps isn't that great and much of it is limited although it does give you access to all of the records.
