"Recruitment"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

It is used for gathering of customer information and making it easier to collate and create a platform for making the best choice.

It does not validate the background of the candidates, using a block chain architecture will take care of it.

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reaching as many people as possible, integrates with google apps, outlook and many other applications.

"Zoho recruit"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

I have used Zoho CRM before therefore was familiar with the back-end operation, which made it much easier to implement.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

The support is not as good as Zoho CRM. The UI is not great. Sometimes working on a laptop I need to reduce the size of the screen to allow popups to be small enough to see the save button that often disappears from the screen. There is no notion of leads that you would have in CRM but you can create custom fields to get around this.

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I run a recruitment agency so wanted a cheap package to enable me to track candidates. It makes it much easier for us all to understand what is going on.

Good starting point when your org is growing and you need to move out from spreadsheets and mail for recruitment.

"a challenge but a good challenge"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

The modular konzept. Even i havent not understand everything so far. But you can do almost anything with it. Is already an amazing software. You can see that there is a lot of brain in it.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

The complexität is a big challenge. I think the Most of the Producers from that Solution are programmer but not user in the recruiting business. We have Employees they need a really good introducing and we would love to have more manuals for the ... how you say? ZOHO for Dummys will by fine

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

we have a huge workflow with more than 70 process steps. There are authorities and institutions involved, there are many documents needed and just over 70 steps to work for each applicant. The Pipline has only 10 points, is unfortunately still dependent on placements. It's all too close, but we're still trying to fix a solution with ZOHO.

"Trial Experience"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

Zoho Recruit allowed us to easily create a career page from which all applicants can be pooled for evaluation. It's helped streamline collecting and reviewing applicant information and offers integrations with other job boards.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

While Zoho Recruit offers integrations with other job boards, we haven't been able to set one up with Indeed. We've been using a trial version to get a feel of the platform, so it may be that not all integrations are offered on trial accounts. It seems like a significant oversight of user experience if trial users are unable to connect with a job board as common as Indeed when determining which ATS they'll choose.

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to have a consolidated way to review applicants from multiple platforms quickly and easily. While we've had difficulty with integrations, Zoho Recruit could be a very convenient way for us to track applicants through our entire recruitment process.

What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

All data in one place that is captured from multiple job portals

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

Webform to capture data isnt the same as the one that's posted in career site. Very tricky to use and UI has to be more friendly with better demo sessions. So far got a hang of the basic things but for long run, it needs lots of improvement for easy access.

"Mixed Feelings"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

So to start I love the amount of option the platform as a whole has to utilize. As a self proclaimed lover of "one stop shopping" setups like this are ideal and efficient (usually). The interface is pretty straight forward which is nice.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

So the company as a whole seems, disconnected. The fact that I have gotten calls from multiple sales departments simply focused on my purchase of the product is upsetting. No shared notes? isn't that what Zoho is? Shouldn't the multiple departments be able to see if the customer has been spoken too? Also, as someone who started in call centers and has moved into now holding an executive position for a corporation... To say you are calling from a customer experience/service and saying that you're the account manager here for all of my needs... Only to be told I have to speak with someone else, and that you only deal with sales... EXTREMELY upsetting. With the vast amount of other services that are available, something as simple as the honesty from a company is important. They couldn't even be honest about their reason for reaching out to me, which was NEVER requested... This leads me to believe that customer service... Is going to be trash and that the only concern will not be their customers but their profit margins. Upsetting as this has a lot of potential.

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Combining the multiple sites that I have to navigate to for different processes. Centrally located means less time wasted. However, there is still quite the learning curve.

"Util y Funcional"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

Algo que me gusta mucho de la plataforma y que destaco es que no tiene limite para candidatos, por lo que no debo preocuparme de llenar el espacio en la nube y estar eliminando candidatos de procesos antiguos. Y debo destacar además que la ayuda en linea que es bastante personalizada y efectiva.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

La experiencia de usuario no es muy buena, es algo compleja de utilizar. Poco intuitiva. Si estás acostumbrado a trabajar con ATSs probablemente no te resultará taaan compleja, pero si no es así, te resultará complicado. Todo lo que contiene la plataforma es muy acertado, útil y beneficioso, sin embargo el proceso de personalización de la plataforma, creación de ofertas, evaluación de prefiltro, etc, es complejo. Encontrar donde editar cada cosa puede volverse confuso.

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sirve como espacio para almacenar la base de datos de candidatos activos en búsqueda de empleo. Muchas de las otras plataformas ATS tiene un limite de candidatos que puedes almacenar en la plataforma, lo que te impide tener ahí una opción que permita a los candidatos añadirse a la base de talentos sin postular a una de las vacantes abiertas. Zoho Recruit con sus características permite solucionar este gran problema.

"Great Experience of the Trial"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

Zoho Recruit is quite easy to use. Intuitive configuration options.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

I am not far enough into the trial to have found anything that I dislike. Couldn't find option to configure SAML based SSO. I'd like to see better security controls for data security at rest. Similar to Zoho CRM, it would be beneficial if there is Box.com connector with two-way sync, to store and share documents in a secure manner. It appears Zoho Recruit allows to configure only 1 recruitment pipeline. It may be adequate, but if there is a need for multiple pipelines, this would be limiting.

What problems is Zoho Recruit solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are looking for consistent recording and tracking of recruitment activities by our staffs.
