Zoho Recruit is a great platform for the small business who is expanding but on a budget. It is very user friendly and seamlessly integrates with other platforms to give you a one stop for talent management. I have used this with clients as well as my own companies. I highly recommend just going straight for the enterprise edition. The value for the price is incredible. I recommend it to all of my clients who are looking to streamline their recruiting process.

Zoho Recruit suited perfectly to our recruitment automation process and we have been successfully using the tool for 1 month.

Though we found some of the restrictions incorrect and some of the functionality was not up to the mark. Overall it is very good tool and we are quiet happy with the same.

It has a lot of great benefits and features to use for a start-up business, but it is very pricey when you require full access. We may decide to look into it in more detail at a later stage and see if its really worth it.

In terms of IP perspective, I am responsible for educating the recruitment team on the system's functionality. I appreciate the seamless and user-friendly experience in managing applicants from initiation to completion. The system is easy to navigate and ensures a smooth process.

Furthermore, the commendable customer service adds value, especially when dealing with payment or utilizing their premium support services. However, my current rating of two out of five is influenced by the challenges we face during the free trial period. We are encountering difficulties in contacting them, and according to their website, the specified turnaround time is eight days.

Assistance is needed in designing tasks to enhance the recruitment workflow. The aim is to optimize the flow of recruitment processes and efficiently manage the resumes of applicants by organizing and grouping them. Additionally, there is a requirement for the implementation of an automation system to respond to candidate emails, thereby significantly reducing steps and overall working time.

1. Candidate portals, customer portals, and recruitment portals can be created at low prices, and the overall customization is relatively high.

2. There are very few customizable parts of the recruitment website. I hope that features can be added in the future.

3. Candidates hope to support WeChat one-click login to improve efficiency.
