Zoho Recruit for Hiring, Candidates and Job Boards

Managed Zoho Recruit is a subscription where we run your Zoho Recruit applicant tracking system for you at a flat monthly rate. That covers the initial configuration, your candidate database, hiring pipelines, career site, job board publishing, screening rules, interview scheduling, and offer workflows, plus the ongoing changes as your hiring process shifts. You get an ATS configured properly and kept correct without hiring somebody to administer it.

Zoho Recruit is Zoho’s applicant tracking system. It holds your candidate database and resumes, manages job openings and requisitions, publishes to your career site and job boards, parses applications, runs screening and assessments, schedules interviews and collects structured feedback, handles offers and e-signature, and reports on your hiring funnel. It works for internal HR teams and for staffing agencies managing clients alongside candidates.

Most clients are hiring through the system within three to four weeks. The first week covers the audit, the candidate and job data migration, and the pipeline structure. The second and third cover your career site, job board connections, screening rules, and interview workflows. Complex setups, especially staffing agencies running client side pipelines too, can take longer, and we tell you that before you sign rather than after.

Yes. We migrate candidate records, resumes, application history, and job openings from most systems, including Bullhorn, Workable, Greenhouse, Lever, and spreadsheets. We map your existing stages to the new pipeline so history is preserved rather than everyone landing in a single default stage. We check the result against your own numbers before your recruiters start working in the new system.

Yes. We build the Zoho Recruit career site, match it to your brand, structure the job listings, connect it to a subdomain of your own site, and set up the application forms. The goal is an apply flow short enough that qualified candidates finish it on a phone. If you want the careers page built into your main website instead, we can discuss that as separate development work.

Zoho Recruit connects to the major boards including Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Glassdoor, and Monster, alongside free and premium posting options that vary by region. We configure the channels you actually pay for, set the publishing rules so a single opening reaches all of them, and make sure closing a role pulls the listings down instead of leaving stale ads running.

Yes, and agencies are where Recruit is strongest. We configure the client and contact side alongside candidates, set up client specific pipelines and submission workflows, connect it to Zoho CRM where your sales team works, and build the reporting that shows placements and revenue by client. Zoho Recruit has a staffing agency edition and we set up whichever edition fits your model.

An accepted offer in Recruit creates the employee record in Zoho People without anybody retyping it, carrying across the data you already collected during hiring. Onboarding workflows start on day one instead of after somebody finishes a copy and paste job. We configure that handoff and check the field mapping so the record arrives complete rather than needing cleanup from HR.

That is a common starting point and it is easier to fix than people expect. We audit what is there, document what is working, and rebuild the parts that are not, usually the pipeline stages, the screening rules, and the permissions. We do it without losing your candidate history. You do not need to start a fresh account, and we tell you plainly if starting fresh is genuinely the cheaper path.

Yes, if you want them to. We configure the candidate portal so applicants track their status, upload documents, and schedule what they need. Some clients prefer to keep status private and rely on automated stage emails instead. Either way we set the communication rules so candidates hear something on a schedule rather than going silent, which is what damages your employer reputation.

We configure retention rules, consent capture on your application forms, and the EEO and audit trail settings Zoho Recruit provides, then set permissions so hiring managers only see their own openings. We are not your lawyers, so we implement the policy you give us and flag where your configuration and your stated policy do not match. Getting the legal position right stays your call.

The 699 dollar plan covers up to 10 recruiter seats, which fits most internal HR teams and small agencies. Past that we quote based on seat count and pipeline complexity rather than applying a formula, because a 30 seat agency running client pipelines is a different job from a 15 seat internal team. Tell us your headcount and we will give you a number before you commit.

If Recruit is the only Zoho app you run, the standalone plan is the cheaper choice. Once you are on three or four apps, managed Zoho One usually costs less than stacking individual plans and gets everything managed together, which matters because most Recruit problems turn out to be People or CRM problems. We flag that when your usage crosses the line rather than waiting for you to ask.
