### "Zoho recruit is great tool to have for every recruiter"

April 12, 2020

4.0

During our recruitment process, we need a lot of documents from the candidates and Zoho recruit is able to receive these documents form candidates and update their file as well

Pros

Zoho recruit is very slick and is very intuitive. There are lots of training videos available on the Zoho sites and also on Youtube. It has good integrations with existing google systems. The resume parsing feature is good. The integrations of directly importing the resume form the email is also fab.

Cons

I am still using the trial version and found that there was no integration with dropbox. I may be wrong and might know more when I explore a bit more.

### "Professional recruitment tool"

October 22, 2018

4.0

Profissional looking jobs ads. Great tool to archive all curriculums received and to select only the ones meet the criteria’s you want. Recruitment automation.

Pros

User-friendly templates with a very professional looking. Easy to find and to sort specific curriculum which meet criteria’s we want. A single link that can be shared across multiple site jobs or social networks.

Cons

It´s not so user-friendly to create customized templates from the existing ones for example, adding pictures or logo.

November 8, 2017

5.0

Pros

Tracking and detailed information for each candidate as well as automated workflow steps, interview scheduling, and built-in mailing functions.

Cons

Has a slight learning curve for those who haven't used a CRM before. Otherwise an intuitive and easy-to-understand UI.

### "So far so good"

January 21, 2020

5.0

We used Zoho invoicing for our last start up and it worked flawlessly. So we are excited to dig in with Zoho Recruit. It is a much more complex system than the invoicing module, but the same quality and ease of use is there.

Pros

Its feature rich, user friendly and best bang for your buck if you are a start up.

Cons

This is to be determined as we are still ramping up with the system.

Reason for choosing Zoho Recruit

We are a start up and Zoho has scalable options that look like they will grow with us for the foreseable future. Also, they are designed for staffing firms. Also many of the other systems were for corporate recruiting and not on the agency side, which would not serve us well.

### "Great tool when set up!"

March 13, 2017

5.0

I researched a lot of tools for our small but growing business. Zoho is not only highly customizable (which suits our industry) but the price point is incredibly affordable for a small business.

Pros

Looks good, they have thought of a lot of elements for various business scenarios. Some of the features are fantastic and the ability to set up workflows is awesome.

Cons

Support is lacking - you save money by setting up the tool yourself (instead of paying an implementation fee) but support isn't great.

### "Good"

November 11, 2017

4.0

Affordable price, easy-to-use, free guide and webinars, helpful customer service.

Pros

More intuitive and easy-to-use than other recruitment software. Affordable price. Some features are customizable. Free guide and webinars. Helpful customer service.

Cons

You cannot create a group of candidates for a job opening and change their status according to the interviews (e.g. suitable, unsuitable, submit, etc.). You can only create groups of candidates based on some criteria (e.g. skills, location), and then associate the single candidate to the job opening. There are not official video tutorials. You have to pay for each user. For instance, you are a recruiter, choose the plan of 25 dollar per month, and you have just an intern using Zoho as a recruiter, so you have to pay 50 dollar per month. Anyway, it's always cheaper than other recruitment software.

### "User Friendly Software"

September 20, 2016

5.0

Very user friendly and it was easy to customise. Always the team is ready to help you out if you require their support. The pricing of the Recruit is fair enough, and it is aligned as per the industry.

Pros

Easy to understand and it makes my team work efficiently. It also helps me to monitor the performance of my team.

Cons

To be honest there is nothing to pin point at this moment.

### "Great Talent Solution"

February 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Zoho is very user friendly. I picked up most of the tricks within the first 2 hours. I also like the feature which I can import spreadsheet of candidate records. Also great value to the money

Cons

One draw back is that sometimes it doesnt allow me to open multiple tabs on the browse. Or if I open a new tab for a candidate from a search, the bottom for the previous or the next profile are missing. This is so far the old drawback I can think of.

### "Good value, Quick setup"

August 22, 2017

5.0

Pros

The UI is intuitive. Setting up a new job posting is quick. Interaction with candidates is simple. Zoho comes out of the box in a very useful state. If customization of any particular area is desired, nearly everything can be customized quickly and easily by the user, no need to have Zoho work magic behind the scenes.

Cons

EEO reporting is not yet available. Only one assessment can be assigned to a job posting. Support can be slow to respond.

### "Delight experience by using ZOHO, it improves our work efficiency "

July 30, 2018

4.0

It's a useful software for us to manage candidates. It saved time for us to sort out basic information.

Pros

1\. Easy for us to manage candidates pool. 2. Easy to check candidate status. Make group work more efficiency.

Cons

Writing "Note" function is not that smart. For instance, if there are only 1 applicants in total. But I wrote 2 notes for this single person, when I generate a summary sheet, ZOHO will regards two notes as two person, and count 2 applicants in total. Then I will have to delete the duplicate candidates manually.

### "Zoho Recruit put us on the fast track to launch our recruiting business "

December 29, 2018

4.0

It hasn't been very long since we've been using Zoho Recruit, but our team absolutely loves using it. The initial configuration was very easy, almost self-explanatory. Anyone with a little knowledge on recruitment processes can effortlessly start using this, without the need for extensive training. We would like to recommend Zoho Recruit to small businesses, due to its simplicity, and as we don't have the time nor energy to spend on learning large complicated systems to get our work done.

Pros

Features like Candidate management, Resume parser, Client & contact management, provision to add modules of our own, integration with RingCentral phone system and also with multiple job-boards have helped us accelerate the implementation of our processes. The user interface and options are so user-friendly that post sign-up, our team has been using the product effortlessly without the need for any dedicated user training. There are extensive training material available on Zoho's repository for those features and functionality that aren't straight-forward.

Cons

As of now, there is nothing that we dislike about Zoho Recruit.

### "Exceptionally Bad - AVOID AT ALL COSTS"

August 22, 2016

1.0

We've been using Zoho for over a year and all seemed well. We just need a basic ATS as we're in search and do not advertise at all. Then we noticed that candidates, clients and companies are MISSING from the database! When we emailed support (you can't call them) they said it was "a technical hitch and they'll be in touch in due course". We just noticed an entire company (client and all contacts, notes etc) has gone missing too! This has been outstanding for 7 mths now and we've leaving. If you can't get the most basic elements right, then what can you get right?

Pros

Zero

Cons

Records going missing and no one does anything about it!

September 8, 2020

Pros

The UI is very easy to use - I've had zero issues with recruiters reporting that they don't know how to use a function.

Cons

It would be nice to see some more customization around the different ways candidates flow through the system.

November 28, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have used Zoho with my previous company and i have been working with it in new company too. If we count pros i would say they have good interface but not that great where i can think of continuing with them. As, they come in pricier end. All in all it's an okay application where you can track applications for their end to end recruitment.

Cons

Price is what i am going to say as cons because there are better products in market which are better and cheaper.

June 5, 2017

4.0

Pros

I like how easy the interface is to use and customize to make sure that it fit my needs of my recruiting process and change the terms of my industry.

Cons

I have been using the Sales CRM for a few years now for my sales side of the business and have been promoting it for years. I was excited to use the recruiting version of their software but was disappointed that it didn't have some of the key functions that I like.

### "Zoho Experience"

May 31, 2017

5.0

Pros

Having used a number of recruitment CRMs such as Bullhorn, EBoss and chameleon i, zoho recruiter is quite simply head and shoulders above the competition. It is easy to use, set up and customise, it does everything you could want and more.

Cons

So far, so good. To date we have nothing that we dislike, if I was pushed though, perhaps having the same integration with other job boards such as Total , CV Library or Reed.

January 9, 2019

3.0

We have had a very pleasant experience with Zoho to date in regards to using their software. Awesome entry level training ease for new employees as well!

Pros

Loved the simplicity of this product and it's easy to use functionality. Found that it makes a recruitment department's life a little easier if they are small.

Cons

Hard to utilize on large scale enterprises. The functionalty does not support 100+ person organizations from my client's perspective.

### "Zoho Recruit evaluation"

December 17, 2019

5.0

Fantastic. I have tried many ATS and CRM before, and this one is robust, and come with virtually all the applications you need to run a business.

Pros

I enjoy the large number of functionalities (that actually works), including the automation, multi-lingual, portal for Vendor, Candidate and Client. Robust product.

Cons

There could be more video tutorials, and the language of those tutorials could be in US/UK English instead of Indian English, that is sometime hard to follow.

Reason for choosing Zoho Recruit

In addition to a powerful ATS, Zoho offers a large number of applications that integrates well together.

### "Good system for Recruiting"

October 31, 2017

4.0

Pros

The system does the basics that I need to manage my day to day job and is easy to find my way around.

Cons

Transferring data over to the system takes a while as I need to input it onto a XLS rather than being able to parse a PDF or doc file when adding in candidates. Also when putting in contacts, I find that there should be an option to ensure that all contacts from the same client go under the same client.
