Zoho Recruit Reviews & Product Details

What we value most is Zia AI’s candidate recommendations in the Enterprise plan. They help our HR recruiters identify applicants who appear more closely matched to a role and prioritise their reviews. Having used both Standard and Enterprise during our four months with Zoho Recruit, this assistance is the main reason we prefer Enterprise. Overall, we are very satisfied with the platform and plan to continue using it at BagginsHQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have not encountered any significant issues during our four months of using Zoho Recruit. The main limitation for our needs is that Standard does not provide the Zia AI assistance we value in Enterprise. Beyond that plan difference, we have no substantial complaints and are satisfied with our experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zoho Recruit makes it easy to manage job openings, candidates and recruitment workflows in one place. I particularly like the candidate tracking and application management features, which make it easier to follow progress through different hiring stages. The interface is generally straightforward, and the ability to customise workflows gives us flexibility without making the day-to-day process overly complicated.

Some of the settings and advanced features can take time to learn, and certain options are not always easy to find at first. The interface could be simplified in a few areas to make navigation quicker. I also find that some useful functionality is reserved for higher-priced plans, which can increase the cost as your needs grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Zoho Recruit is how it keeps candidate information, resumes, and application progress organized in one place. It makes it easier to follow up with candidates and keep track of where everyone stands in the hiring process. I also like that it saves time on repetitive tasks and makes recruitment feel more structured and manageable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Zoho Recruit is that some features can be a little confusing at first, and it takes time to get familiar with the different settings and workflows. Sometimes, finding a specific option requires clicking through several sections. I think the overall experience could be smoother with a simpler interface, but once you get used to it, the platform is useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost effective option for Indeed ATS integration. Compared to other ATS platforms we looked at, Zoho Recruit gave us the functionality we needed at a much lower price point, which mattered a lot for a growing company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface not as intuitive as I'd like, and the initial integration and verification process was slow. It took some back and forth to get everything connected properly. But once it was set up, it worked great and has been reliable since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Zoho Recruit incredibly cost-effective and efficient for my recruitment business. I use it daily to interact with candidates and clients, and it helps me manage vacancies seamlessly. The software has all the features needed for effectively advertising positions and interacting with stakeholders. I appreciate its user-friendly interface, which simplifies my workflow and ensures I stay on top of tasks. I also value the ability to scale up as my business evolves, with a pricing point that's hard to beat compared to similar products on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support with Zoho Recruit is quite frustrating. Often, I have to explain my issue two or three times before it's understood, and even minor issues take far too long to be rectified. The initial setup was also cumbersome due to support issues, particularly with verification and integrating Microsoft 365, which took about two weeks. This delay restricted the features I could use and expected this to be resolved within twenty-four hours instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Zoho recruitment application covers all the tasks required in the recruitment cycle with a good division of tasks and the certification cycle, as well as the way to organize, sort and evaluate resumes with artificial intelligence and many modules and the possibility of customizing them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app and the rest of Zoho's apps lack updated user and self-learning guides that cater to the Arabic user, as all available content is in English Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an all-in-one recruiting platform, candidate database, job orders, submissions, client/contact management, interviews, communication, and hiring workflow are all in one place. Resume parsing, database/candidate search, strong applicant tracking, automation, and job posting simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest disadvantage is that the interface feels cluttered, there are a lot of menus, fields, settings, and customization options, which can make it overwhelming for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Zoho Recruit is how easy it makes it to manage the entire recruitment process in one place. The platform has a clean, user-friendly interface, strong applicant tracking features, customizable workflows, and helpful automation tools. It streamlines candidate sourcing, screening, communication, and hiring, while cutting down on the amount of manual work involved. Integrations with other Zoho applications are another major advantage, making it a flexible and efficient solution for recruitment teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback is that some of the more advanced features and customization options can take a bit of time to learn and set up. For new users, the sheer number of settings and tools available may feel overwhelming at first. That said, once the platform is properly configured, it becomes much easier to navigate and use, and it delivers significant value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless integration with the broader Zoho ecosystem. Customization is also solid; we can tailor fields, workflows, and the career site without needing heavy technical help. For a small-to-mid sized team, the pricing is hard to beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can feel a bit dated and cluttered at times, especially when you’re managing large candidate lists or trying to navigate between modules quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the careers page in Zoho Recruit because it was highly customizable and provided a professional, user-friendly experience for applicants. The platform also made it easy to track candidates throughout the hiring process, manage applications efficiently, and keep recruitment workflows organized in one place.

Another strong point was the centralized applicant management system. Having resumes, communication history, and candidate updates accessible in a single platform helped simplify collaboration and reduced the amount of manual follow-up needed during recruitment.

That said, the platform often felt sluggish. Pages could take a long time to load, and updates or workflow actions were sometimes slow to process. This negatively impacted the overall user experience, especially when handling a high volume of applicants or trying to move quickly between tasks.

Because of these performance issues, I was also hesitant to rely on the AI-powered features. While the tools seemed promising, the lack of responsiveness made it difficult to fully trust or integrate them into my workflow, so I ended up avoiding them altogether.

In terms of pricing, Zoho Recruit felt significantly overpriced for the experience provided. While the platform offers a solid set of features and customization options, the performance limitations made it harder to justify the cost compared to other recruiting and applicant tracking solutions on the market.

I was not too happy with it. The recruitment module itself was clunky and hard to use. Setting automations for the pipeline was difficult. Integrating calendars was difficult as well. It felt like everything was too much trouble. The initial setup was a difficult process with a poor end result. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
