Partner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Be Careful selecting this software to build your business" May 6, 2019 3.0 Pros Front line customer support is excellent and they go above and beyond Cons HORRIBLE Quality control. They keep releasing product that simply does not work!! Error codes at the very first step. And then they want you to get online with them and show them how their stuff is broken. I did this for 2 years and I am finally fed up with providing QC services to them when they CLEARLY do not have a functioning QC or testing regime. I am now 2+ years into the build out of our business and having to consider changing the core software that runs our business at immense costs in terms of time, training, business relationships etc. Not sure what I will do, maybe just screwed and have to put up with it for another 2 years. To be crystal clear, their front line support people are excellent - above and beyond and truly great to work with so it pains me to have to write this review. But fair warning their QC is BAD and you will spend a lot of time showing them how their product does not work.. Value for Dollar is good but if you expect this software to grow with you forget i. and pay a little more for something else.

August 2, 2018 4.0 Pros The design user interface is very minimalist and easy to use. It allows us a high degree of customization and tracking for resumes, job postings, reports, candidate status and contacts. I love that their tech support is actually very knowledgeable about their product and can walk you through any process. When they promise to get back to you about an unresolved issue at a certain time, they keep their word and I appreciate that The cloud-based app is great because any member of our team can get on there at any time from any location. Cons Our work requires us to vet the candidates against the job posting. Currently, it doesn’t offer that option, so we have to do that manually on our end. The app is continuing to evolve though, so I hope we can see that added at some point in the future. All else considered, it’s still one of the best Applicant Tracking System out there.

Talent Acquisition Specialist Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Rview of Zoho Recruit" November 7, 2022 5.0 The overall experience is good so far, The interface is easy to navigate and the resume parse feature is excellent as it can parse all of that word or pdf data to automatically create the candidate details inside the system. Pros Zoho Recruit is very easy to use ATS and has an excellent search capabilities. The Email and notes tool are very useful when one wants to go back to a prime candidate’s info, plus ZIA rating tool always helps in providing the matching percentage of candidates with the requirement which we post on ZOHO. Cons Zoho should add location feature while running the search for candidates in Zoho database.

We like all the modules, from CRM, database, search, schedules, emailing and todos. The stuff that really works for us the status of the applicant and the review from our clients on the applicant. Cons the search can be improved. google hire has a cool function of suggesting similar profiles and doing timeline searches. Review Source Rono K.

We implemented this almost a year ago and it has been a great experience so far. Pros It is great at being able to import data from multiple sources without issues. I can import candidate details from Google Sheets, Excel and sourcing solutions without ever worrying about format errors. It is also pretty fast and responsive. It supports a ton of integrations (every tool we use can and is hooked into Zoho Recruit) and it also has a decent number of automation options. Their chat support team is really great too. Cons It has a learning curve. Whenever we have a new user joining that is put on the system, it takes them a while to catch up. Even something as simple as pulling reports and tasks is a little complicated to execute for a new users. Review Source RD Rhonda D.

The customer support is a bit hit and miss but aside from this, top value. Pros What's key as a startup is a place for all your data, manage it easily, increase the time available to me and still maintain cashflow. : Zoho Recruit allows for all of this All versions are absolutely easy to pick up or navigate without any training. Free onboarding session for 1 hour to run through any questions you have Monthly price is different according to your needs No upfront costs RE: Setup Data is easily manageable Cons No Dark Mode - For every application I use and utilise dark mode due to bad eyes.

December 8, 2016 5.0 With many years experience on bespoke and proprietary recruitment software (ATS, VMS, media ad publishing etc), when I founded BluZinc, on a bootstrap, we did a supplier evaluation and shortlisted 3 well know excellent systems, and Zoho Recruit. We have the ability to so some of our own configuration, and although it takes a little time this is also good learning time while actually going through the recruitment process. We hoped the our ideas for innovation would be taken in to development by Zoho and were were right. The services is friendly and you feel like the support team are keen to help. There are a few things missing however the way we are running our executive search and interim placement business, it's meeting our needs. We have no plans to change in the near future. Pros Intuitive, configurable, sales funnel forecasts, emailing templates, extensive reporting, does what we need, extensive search criteria Cons CV radius location search, doens't save information except when connected online.

Capable of spreading job posts in social media, job boards and other websites. Tracks and manages applications with ease and in an organized manner. Integrations with the G Suite is the biggest edge that hooked our team in. The integration made using ZOHO Recruit easier.

Given the number of job hunting software programmes I had used and tested over the previous year in search of the best one, I had drastically lower expectations. Cons Everything is ok for me while using this software. such as services, speed, and features Review Source Kenneth S. SR Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ZOHO Recruit " October 27, 2019 5.0 I have used other ATS's but was never the ADMIN. That in itself can be intimidating, but not with ZOHO . Under SETUP it is very easy to configure to your own liking. Pros For the independent recruiter there is really nothing out there that comes close . ZOHO Recruit is a full suite ATS that can stand on on its own against the big boys. It comes with radius search, scores the candidate against the job order. You can edit the job pipeline and so much more. Cons The career site is not very robust and should show both city & state for the listings.

Director Of Recruiting Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Mobile App in Recruiting" April 4, 2017 5.0 I have worked for several large corporate companies and recruiting firms who use a variety of CRM tools. Zoho provides the best tool on the market for a recruiting firm who is looking for ease of use and extreme mobility. In this modern era a CRM tool needs to be mobile optimized, Zoho has an app that allows you to track your candidates' progress in the interviewing process and makes sure that you can adjust essential data on the go. I highly recommend this tool for anyone looking to increase their efficiency through the use of a mobile tool. Pros My business is extremely mobile and I need the ability to work whenever and wherever, Zoho allow this through both the main site and the app. The use of this tool has allowed me to track my candidates more efficiently and schedule interviews while I am away from the office. Cons Creating new clients should be more automated and allow for parsing like we have on the candidate side. Increased functionality within the mobile app would also be helpful, although the current level of simplicity is refreshing. Review Source Emmanuel E. Talent Acquisition Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "awesome applicant recruitment and tracking software" April 18, 2017 4.0 Zoho Recruit is great value for money. I have enjoyed its ease of use and add on features for collaboration, and integration with websites and job boards. I own a recruitment company and Zoho Recruit has been great in how we manage and track our sales and close on our projects just for a good enough price compared to other software in the market. Pros Zoho chats, Zoho calling and video calling, Zoho share screen, job social, auto email responders, career website design, good customer support - always prompt. Cons web app takes forever to load when the internet is not very strong, perhaps the developers can work on ways to improve how this app works even when the internet is not so great.

It streamlines the whole hiring process quite efficiently. Pros Though this tool is very feature-rich, the features which I liked it from a user point views are: - Integration: We can easily integrate our assessment platform, so that the right candidates can be efficiently filtered out. -The back end workflows is very fluid and user friendly in nature. HR team can start incorporating this ATS without any rigorous training. -Attractive pricing and made in India branding also helps in the buying decision. Cons \-Mobile App could have been better. We cannot do all the required tasks on the go. The UI/UX also needs a ramp up. -Though it works like a charm for small and medium sized businesses but for large businesses customization on this platform becomes tricky. Review Source Patrick A. Assistant Director Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The most feature-filled applicant tracking system out there!" February 26, 2020 4.0 Before having an ATS like zoho we had did all of our recruitment manually (We hire hundreds of people each year) and this took so many people so much time. However, since we've had Zoho recruit we've been able to automate so much of the process which not only has helped us filter the better candidates through, but has also allowed us to do other things apart from recruitment. Pros Zoho recruit is so customizeable! It is so filled with features and functionality, but at the same time gives you so much scope compared to some of the other ATS out there. Cons It does take a while to set up the way you want it. Review Source SM Sascha M. Chief Product Officer E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recruiting with Zoho Recruit is great" March 20, 2024 4.0 Pros We've been liking Zoho Recruit for our hiring needs! It's made filling 8 positions a breeze. The workflow builder is fantastic, and having email integrated at every stage is a game-changer. Zoho Recruit has really helped us stay organized and efficient throughout the entire recruitment process! Cons We've noticed a few shortcomings. The performance, especially loading times, could be improved. Additionally, the interface feels a bit outdated. Another issue is that the publishing marketplace didn't quite meet our needs for the German market. These areas could use some attention for a smoother user experience overall.

Human Resources Assistant Government Administration Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent Recruiting Software" May 26, 2020 5.0 It has helped to automate our recruitment process and we are able to use and customize it to our needs. The email, job openings and offer letter templates helps to create emails, job openings and offer letters quickly and get the process moving. Customer Service is also great, as they always respond quickly to emails and provide timely solutions, including scheduling a demo session. Pros Zoho Recruit meets our recruiting needs in a very unique way. We were able to customize the features the way we want it and it automates processes for the organization. We are also able to collaborate within the system, and it is easy to pre-screen candidates at the beginning of the recruitment process by using the customization features for the webforms and the assessment. It also has a lot of add-ons that can be used for some processes like e-signing of offer letters, background checks, and more. Cons Users can feel a bit uncomfortable when starting out with this software, especially new ATS users, however, after a while it gets really easy and straightforward. They also sent videos that really helped understand it.

Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quality System That Does The Job" November 2, 2016 5.0 We are a recent startup Recruitment Company that selected Zoho for ATS and CRM purposes after reviewing numerous other software options. With the introduction of numerous Cloud products, we quickly established that a wide number of options in the market are extremely rigid with a lack of customisation. If you're willing to get your hands dirty (which we are), you're able to really bespoke the system to your recruitment needs. Of course there are some functionality limitations which could be made better however the customisation is much more extensive then other demos we have gone through. From a CRM perspective for our needs, it ticks all the boxes and from a Recruitment Agency perspective it does a good job of Parsing multiple CV's and has allowed us to setup numerous reports and forecast stages. Overall it does the trick for a startup and growing company who are ultimately looking at their cashflow within the first few years however there are areas we have been informed are on the roadmap which they need to make happen. Customer Support has been extremely good. Pros \- Customisation Options in terms of Field/Layout Management - CV Parsing - App - Smart Device App is really nice - Searching / Reporting Capabilities - Standard functionality is better than others in the market Cons \- Lack of Radius Search from a Candidate perspective which isn't ideal when searching for candidates near a certain location - Lack of Office365 Outlook Integration (this is on the roadmap however isn't ideal) - Skilling / Capabilities is my largest bugbear as it isn't as intuitive as other options from a recruitment perspective - Some rigid functionality where you can't remove and edit certain fields. - No Linkedin stripping functionality Review Source SM Summer M. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works great for our small business" February 9, 2017 5.0 We've used Zoho applications for over five years, so I have a lot of experience with them. Everything works very well for people with very little computer knowledge, and yet you can customize things quite a bit if you know what you are doing. As far as Recruit goes... I have used Recruit before and like it, but they didn't integrate with other services as the time. I had to use Indeed's services and we had quite a bit of issues (with 3 of our companies) with candidates receiving emails from us to schedule interviews. Now that Recruit is integrated with so many job boards, it is an awesome deal for the money, helps to weed through all the resumes, make notes, schedule things and keep a busy office organized. I WILL NEVER TAKE PAPER APPLICATIONS AGAIN. As far as support, I never call in, I just use email, so usually by the time emails are returned (a few hours) I have already figured out what I was contacting them about (they have forums, community help, plenty of places to find what you need). That said, they are always responsive and polite. Pros Easy to use but not so user friendly that you can't use it if you are advanced good customer support a lot of documentation integrates with many other services Cons Sometimes down, but usually fixed quickly Review Source Artem V. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Application tracking system for recruitment firm" March 17, 2018 4.0 Complete and Convenient Application Tracking System for a small startup. this is definitely a very good one. I recommend to try out this zoho recruit software. Itz definitely worth trying Pros some of the features that I would like use are still under construction. for example, to have employers to log into the system and view the profiles of shortlisted candidates. it is involving for Zoho recruit system to be customized further by creating more modules. I think if your recruitment involves a lot of industries you may have to create more modules to accommodate what you do Cons The Parsing tool is not that great when It comes to LinkedIn. If we try to click the parsing button. Itz copying only very limited lines, and we will have to type in the rest which is a little annoying. We will have to get a separate parsing tool for the parsing. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
