Where we go further
Candidates get a reply either way, because the ones you turn down this year are the ones you want applying next year. The career site stays current as roles open and close.
Candidates who actually hear back
Silence costs you the people you wanted most. We build the automation that sends status updates on a schedule, nudges interviewers sitting on feedback, and flags candidates stuck in a stage too long.
Job boards that stay current
A filled role still advertised wastes budget and your reputation.
Screening you can defend
Knockout questions only help when they filter the right people out.
Your account, your data
Nothing sits behind an agency account, so there is no export to negotiate and no leverage held over you. If you bring this back in house, it is already yours.
Who this comparison is for
Teams already running Zoho People and CRM
If your employees and your customers already live in Zoho, your hiring belongs there too.
Companies hiring out of a shared inbox
Resumes in an inbox work until two people are hiring at once and nobody knows who replied.
Staffing and recruiting agencies
Agencies run two pipelines, candidates and clients, and most tools handle only one of them well.
How our managed Zoho Recruit service works
Whether you are moving off a shared inbox or inheriting a Zoho Recruit account somebody configured two years ago, the sequence is the same. We get the candidate data and the daily pipeline right first, then sourcing and screening, then everything else.
- 1
We assess your current setup
First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.
- 2
We audit and load your candidate data
Candidates, application history, and open roles get mapped and loaded so your history comes across rather than everyone starting fresh.
- 3
We build the pipelines and workflows
We test each one on a live role, then connect your career site and job boards so applications arrive in the right place.
- 4
We keep it correct as you change
From there you get the ongoing work, meaning new roles and pipelines configured when you need them, job board channels kept current, automation adjusted as your process shifts, integrations checked each cycle, and a monthly summary of time to hire, source performance, and anything still open.

Straight answers about switching, pricing, and what moves with you.
See Managed Zoho RecruitHow is Cascadia different from Ashby?
The main difference is that your candidates actually hear back. Silence costs you the people you wanted most. We build the automation that sends status updates on a schedule, nudges interviewers sitting on feedback, and flags candidates stuck in a stage too long.
What is managed Zoho Recruit?
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.
What does Zoho Recruit actually do?
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.
How long does setup take?
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.
Can you migrate candidates from our current ATS?
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.
Do you build our career site?
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.
Which job boards can you publish to?
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.
Does this work for staffing and recruiting agencies?
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.
How does Zoho Recruit connect to Zoho People?
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.
