Reviews of Zoho Recruit

Efficient software
Comments: The whole process from the beginning of the candidate to the end of the contract is agile and in a very tight way because I can see how the whole process of the candidate goes or in what stage of the process he stayed and I have to get another candidate
Pros:
The search for candidates could be a long and confusing process but with the help of Zoho Recruit the process has been easier and more orderly to carry from the search of the candidates, a follow-up of each process, the scheduling of the interviews and the final stage of hiring With the reports of Zoho Recruit I can have a detailed list of all the candidates who have registered on the company's employment page to see their profiles and thus be informed of each one's experience and be able to choose the best option for fill the vacancy The configuration of the account is quite simple to perform as everything else of the platform that is very easy and agile that provides support to the recruitment area and can take the order of each candidate
Cons:
The filtering for each candidate is not complete for example the age that is so important to know there is no way to look for it and sometimes the candidate is good but age does not apply and I can see it until I enter the curriculum but not by search
A 6+ year proud user of Zoho Recruit
Comments: I've been using Zoho Recruit for the past 6 years, which has saved a lot of time communicating with our clients and candidates.
Pros:
The workflow automation that sends out a mail/WhatsApp message on every action helps us be in regular touch with our candidates and clients.
Cons:
More AI features can be added to help us in sourcing relevant candidates.

Terrible Software
Comments: These guys have totally missed the point here. It’s the most difficult software to navigate - maybe it would have been easier to use the free version, but I have the full version and it’s impossible to navigate, the jargon used, pointless pipelines. I cannot find documents , assessments, it’s absolutely useless and I wouldn’t recommend it as all. All other Zoho software apps at least make a bit of sense to beginners, but this is down right frustrating.
Pros:
Nothing. If I HAD to choose then possibly the fact that it publishes job opening on multiple boards.
Cons:
Not at all user friendly. At all. And most of the job boards it posts to aren’t in South Africa.
Great and easy to use
Comments: My overall experience ahs been very positive.
Pros:
The setup was easy, it's functions are easy and I love the Mass Emailing option
Cons:
I wish it could send more mass emails daily

Pros:
i like the payroll processing feature of zoho recruit, its very easy to navigate and in single click you will have all the information of the organizations payroll summary with dashboard and insights

There are too many features in the zoho recruit, out of that most of the features are not in use for the small firms, they can remove those features and reduce thee pricing for small startup companies

The platform's comprehensive applicant tracking system and customizable workflows have greatly streamlined our recruitment processes. The intuitive interface made it easy to navigate and manage candidates effectively. The seamless integration with other Zoho applications enhanced our overall workflow efficiency. While there were some minor areas for improvement, such as reporting capabilities and occasional glitches, Zoho Recruit has proven to be a reliable and valuable tool in our recruitment efforts.

Cons:
While Zoho Recruit offers a range of valuable features for recruitment, there were a few aspects that left something to be desired. One drawback was the limited reporting and analytics capabilities, which made it challenging to extract in-depth insights from recruitment data. Additionally, the user interface, while generally intuitive, could benefit from a more modern and visually appealing design. I also encountered occasional glitches and performance issues that hindered our workflow efficiency. The customer support, while responsive, could be more proactive in addressing our queries.
