• The system is easy to use and makes it simple to train hiring managers.
• Zoho Recruit functions as both an Applicant Tracking System and a CRM.
• The career site integration is straightforward and makes advertising open roles convenient.

My organization purchased the professional plan of Zoho Recruit. The primary challenge we faced was the need to recruit for multiple positions across various locations. As one corporation with locations nationwide, we needed job listings to appear separately per location on our careers page.

A major advantage of Zoho Recruit over other applicant tracking systems was its ability to offer multiple user seats for every hiring manager at each location, along with administrative functions that allowed me to oversee the process company-wide.

The built-in CRM functionality also proved helpful for saving prospecting contacts for headhunting purposes. I have been using Zoho Recruit for almost four years and have used it at multiple companies.

• It can be difficult to reach customer service promptly without purchasing additional 24/7 support.
• The email functionality becomes confusing when more than four active user seats are in use.
• Data migration can be challenging, as the information and modules do not always align with other ATS platforms.

Zoho Recruit differs from competitors by offering a fully functional CRM within the ATS. It provides significantly more customization options and greater functionality than most other systems. I prefer Zoho Recruit because of its versatility and flexibility across multiple use cases.

Buyers should first consider the specific functionality they require in an ATS. Zoho Recruit is a good choice for companies hiring across multiple locations and needing individual user seats for each hiring manager.

If email integration and CRM features are important, this platform offers solid value. It’s best suited for organizations with a clear structure and experienced recruitment staff to manage the system.

The core functionality and user interface of Zoho Recruit have remained largely the same. While a few new features have been added, it is not the most technologically advanced software available in the ATS space.

Zoho Recruit is ideal for organizations with a dedicated recruiter or an experienced Talent Acquisition professional managing and administering the system. It is also well-suited for recruiting agencies or firms that need a robust solution for their consultants.

• It is simple and easy to use.
• Pushes job postings to multiple sites.
• Great for managing communications with candidates.
• Reminds us to communicate with candidates.

We've been using Zoho recruit for 5 months. Thus far, we have found it to be an extremely simple platform to use. There are not a lot of options for customization. Integrations often disconnect and the mobile app is often non-functional.

The free version offers very little storage. Some resumes do not download correctly if formatting due to formatting. Having to pay extra for specific add-ons even with some of their paid tier's such as mass emails, API calls, or a designated client portal is disappointing. It's not mobile-friendly. Tech support is not good.

Zoho Recruit is the very best tool for small businesses, who can often get lost or struggle to find ROI with competitors.

Zoho Recruit is truly a tool best used in smaller businesses with minimal recruitment activity. Also, this is truly a recruiting tool--it does not feed into onboarding tasks in other systems. The cost of add-ons can be a bit much, and some of these features might be included in a lower-cost solution. Language needs should also be a consideration.

I have not seen Zoho evolve since we have implemented it.

Small organizations with minimal recruitment needs.

The platform allows me to update my clients on their candidate pipeline progress easily. Zoho Recruits is user-friendly. The system is pretty intuitive and email support is helpful.

I purchased Zoho Recruit as an add on to Zoho Desk & Zoho Project, a platform I use to manage my remote team. I use the service as a backup when recruiting. It was designed to streamline the recruitment process and cross manage my recruitment goals with my team. I have used Zoho Recruit for 8 months. I occasionally use the Zoho Recruit Marketplace to find specific tools to help my clients.

While email support is helpful, it can take a long time to get a response. Zoho Recruit is an expensive add-on in comparison with other Zoho products. The product takes effort to integrate it with outside tools.

Zoho Recruit is less effective than some of its competitors. Also, the company often tries to upsell you rather than offer a one-stop-shop alternative. I use it less than services like Greenhouse or Workday.

How many recruiters do you have on staff that need Zoho Recruit access? Do you want to continuously get calls for more Zoho products instead of an all-encompassing service? Is Zoho Recruit financially feasible for your budget if you use other Zoho services?

I have used Zoho Recruit for 8 months and have not observed major changes to the service.

Zoho Recruit is good for small-medium sized organizations. It is a great option for those who only have one recruiter as cost is more than $30 per user.

• It has helped us find many high quality applicants.
• The filters it’s got help us work through applicants.
• We can customize many workflows through it.

My organization needed to be able to sort through and source very specific types of applicants. With other software we used such as Indeed, Monster or LinkedIn, filtering through the loads of applications was a struggle. And even when we had a big number of applicants to sort through we struggled to find those perfect fits. Zoho solved these issues and made it easier to sort through and find multiple perfect fits.

• Sometimes we get flooded with candidates and if you're not careful when sorting, it can get overwhelming. For example, the last job I posted had an application feeding right to Zoho and I received over 1300 applications in one day.
• Sometimes we don’t find someone to meet all needs. Although this is rare, I would say maybe one out of 20 jobs we may come up empty. We can lower our standards with some of the jobs but then that's when we get overwhelmed with applications.
• There is a bit of a learning curve when bringing on new users.

I feel like zoho stacks up very well and the cost can be significantly better than their main competitor Linkedin Recruiting.

What type of people they are looking for. Do they need advance searches for specific qualifications

I believe Zoho Recruit can meet the needs of most organizations no matter how big or small. If they have higher than entry level positions, then this tool can bring a lot of value.

• Customizable workflows: Zoho Recruit provides customizable workflows that allow organizations to create tailored recruitment processes that match their specific needs.
• Integrations with other Zoho applications: Zoho Recruit is part of the larger Zoho suite of business applications, and it can integrate with other Zoho applications such as Zoho CRM and Zoho People, which can help streamline overall business processes.
• Collaborative recruiting: Zoho Recruit allows for collaboration between team members, making it easier to work together during the recruitment process.
• Candidate tracking: Zoho Recruit provides tools for tracking candidate progress throughout the hiring process, including interview scheduling and email communication.

Zoho Recruit helps my organization manage job postings, applications, and candidate information in a single platform. This streamlines the recruitment process and helps my HR team save time and effort. Zoho Recruit allows my organization to centralize all candidate data in one location, which can make it easier to manage and track candidate progress throughout the hiring process. It also provides features for collaboration between team members, which can help improve communication and coordination during the recruitment process. I've been using Zoho Recruit for the last 2 years.

• While Zoho Recruit offers integrations with other Zoho applications, it has limited integrations with other third-party applications, which may limit its functionality and usability for some organizations.
• While Zoho Recruit offers customizable workflows, some users have expressed that there are limitations to the customization options available, which may not fully meet their organization's needs.
• Some users have found that Zoho Recruit has a steep learning curve, which may require additional training for some users to fully utilize the platform's features and functionality.

Zoho's tiers are very rigid, and I would hope they would make their product more modular and allow customers to buy modules separately. For a small startup, the professional and enterprise-grade turn out to be very expensive, and we could easily trade some features we don't use for features we would like to use.
