"Easy to use and very functional"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

Its fairly straight forward and has all the right tools for a recruiter. I can manage my candidates and clients all at the same time.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

Just one thing - where I have to associate a candidate/client with a job before I send through a profile to a client. Otherwise it's great

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

Recruiting for my clients - it helps keep track of all documents and candidates, and allows for sharing with my team.

"Works well for me"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

I been using the free version for a year and have found it user friendly. I'm now going to the paid version to have access to the ability to view resume's easily, which I have been waiting for. I have a small recruitment agency and also use the Zoho Mail. Both work well for me.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

I find the free version is quite limited and was holding off on going to the paid, unless Zoho added a decent CV viewer, so that I could quickly scan CV's from a search list.

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

I like that I can easily post jobs to my website and like the better CV viewing capability on the paid version of Zoho.

"Zoho REcruit Review"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

1. Ease of use with minimal training. The system is very intuitive. 2. Seamless info sharing between the desktop version and Android mobile version. 3. The Chrome Extension makes resume parsing very easy, similar to other larger software solutions.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

1. Parsing can be inaccurate, but this is found with other solutions. 2. The Account data does not blend well with the Zoho CRM, even when you are logged into the same Zoho Account. Could have better integration with 3rd party job boards to help facilitate job postings.

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

We are an boutique executive placement agency and we utilize both Zoho CRM and Zoho Recruit to manage our clients and candidate information. For minimal investment relative to larger applications, we were able to ramp up quickly with both systems without having to spend too much time on training.

"User friendly dashboard"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

The dashboard functionality is very user friendly. It is clear, concise and easy to understand. All of your apps are on a single interface and it is very convenient.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

Some of the apps limit the number of records you can see per page (ex. 50 on the CRM app). It would be great to be able to scroll through all contacts on a single page. The surveys do not link seamlessly onto campaigns and would like to see this experience improved.

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

We need to have integration of leads and track recruits efficiently. Zoho apps allow us to do both from a single dashboard without having to go to different vendor apps.

What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

Just getting to know it as in the testing phasem btu heard good things so want to check it out for myself.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

Want to see, as part of my testing, if the service has improved on Zoho (from experinces a number of years ago). I have a hearing difficulty which makes the help videos difficult to understand, it would be easier if the speakers had English as first langauge.

"If you want to remove a user, for a start up business this can be time consuming and costly"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

the ability to have a pre done recruitment CRM is brilliant so far so good, would like to trail it a little longer to get a better feel but so far not had a problem

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

The feeling of being held to Ransome for the data I upload, the inability to amend the users as and when the business sees fit, some times it feels like there is a lack of understanding when it comes to what we the clients need, for Zoho recruit and workely there is much to improve, the CRM has difficulties in using API's with My Wix website, as well with the Wix domain, and what you are left with is a candidate portal with Zoho logos all over it, its hard to keep some form of ownership to what you pay for.

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

my problems with zoho recruit are:- Wix API integration Candidate login has zoho logo all over it unable to remove users for the next month without being charged for it after you have made a payment for the previous month. getting charged £50 instead of 50 euros

"Don't think - Just Start using Zoho Recruit- Flawless !!"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

The best feature about Zoho Recruit is the Ease of usage and customisation which can be done across the platform. I pivoted from a different ATS + CRM, the pricing is less than half of what I was actually paying earlier. In every aspect, technology and smoothness are astounding. Really, no complaints of any kind. The Zoho Recruit has deep integration with the Zoho suite of applications. The sync between Zoho Cliq, Zoho Sheets, Zoho Docs, Zoho Spreadsheets is too good.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

The only thing which I miss is the Kanban view in the jobs hiring pipeline stages, I wish if it could be added later on. Other than that, absolutely no complaints.

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

The main benefit which I have realized after using Zoho Recruit is that I can arrange all the data much more organized. I can have a clear glimpse of all the hiring stages in a jiffy. I don't need to shuffle across different tools and applications in order to achieve good sync. All the data pertaining to the Candidate / Client is synchronized in a much more organized and professional manner.

"One stop shop..."
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

Recruit includes most features used during the entire recruiting/interview/onboarding process within one platform. The cost is reasonable and familiarizing oneself with the tool and its features/functionality set takes no times at all. The platform also offers quite a bit of front end/back end customization/branding.

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

Although the tool offers a large feature/functionality set, I found it to be a bit buggy at times. The UI/UX are too simplistic; the client branding/customization functions are very limiting in terms of uploading/logo placement (SO SMALL), new field creation. I also found it a challenge to change some backend customizations/fields and there isn't much forum/direct customer assistance that can be found during the trial phase.

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

Our organization operates within the technology space, consulting for larger companies (data mining). We often assistance in hiring/placement to these companies. We work with multiple recruiters and rely on email and meetings in order to conduct this process. It has become quite cumbersome, with interviews and/or people falling thru the cracks. We are looking for an Applicant Tracking Tool that could manage the process for us. We happen to be testing 3 at this time.

"Zoho has helped us run our Recruitment agency seamlessly "
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

I started using Zoho Recruit about a year ago and during this time we have noticed their continuous improvement. Searching through the our database is now seamless and must faster than it was in the past. They send weekly updates on jobs posted , number of applicants etc When we had to migrate CV's from our old account to a new one Zoho customer services was very helpful and they helped us achieve this very vital need for our new business

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

They have not taken some countries into consideration which we consider unfair and shows Zoho is an organisation that is not willing to go the extra mile for their clients. When searching for CV's in our database we always need to search using location and option for my country and its cities do not appear

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

We were able to build a database of CV's and source when needed.

"search for candidates"
What do you like best about Zoho Recruit?

With Zoho Recruit the search processes of candidates is easier to find the perfect curriculum that fits more to the vacancy of the job I have a more detailed follow-up of each applicant and to be able to know in which stage it is to have the order that must be followed In Zoho Recruit I can have a detailed list of all the candidates that have registered in the company's employment page to see their profiles and, therefore, be informed of each one's work experience and be able to choose the best option The platform has a very basic and simple initial configuration to fill each required field to complete the processes

What do you dislike about Zoho Recruit?

It would be nice to have filters for a more detailed and quick search of candidates The support is not so optimal to solve the questions I ask because I respond with something I already do and do not have a follow-up on the problem

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

The whole process from the beginning of the search of the candidate until the end of the contract is agile and I can see how the whole process of the candidate goes or in what stage of the process he was not admitted
