Allows us to manage a large amount of candidates at a large amount of sites and still be very site specific
In terms of what could be improved, sometimes it seems, for whatever reason, that not all of the messaging goes through. I don't know if that's an internal email issue or that's an email issue with them. So I will externally follow up a lot of my communication through Microsoft Outlook as my own redundancy to make sure that my messages get out. So there's a little bit of a concern on consistency of the messaging getting through in terms of scheduling or in terms of sending a resume to a particular hiring manager, especially if you have multiple hiring managers. It does not have an ability to CC hiring managers on the resumes that are sent through. It only goes through to the hiring manager and sometimes you want other members of the team to see the resumes. So, it doesn't necessarily work that way. Those are a couple of different things that they could work on. Otherwise, there is nothing else that I can really think of. If you know the system you know how to work your way around certain things. Once you get hands-on in the system, you understand how the system works and you understand how to work within its environment.

Automation has streamlined high-volume hiring while advanced analytics and parsing still need work
Zoho Recruit is an end-to-end ATS that covers requisitions, multi job postings, resume parsing, screening interviews, offers, and many other tools. It has strong automation features, including custom workflows, blueprints, assignments tools, scheduler, and macros to reduce manual efforts. It caters to higher volume roles, and it has a deep Zoho ecosystem where we can connect with native Zoho platforms like Zoho CRM, Zoho People, Zoho SignFlow, Analytics, Books, and Desk. The AI feature, Zia, is added for candidate matching, recommendations, and smart research that speeds up sourcing and shortlisting. The flexible customization includes career site and portal building that allows us to create branded career pages and employee referral portals, plus candidate self-service to reduce workflow. The API, webhook, and Deluge options are available to integrate with any applications using REST API calls and extend these functionalities to connect with external systems and automate custom logic, fitting my Deluge skills. I integrate Zoho Recruit with Dynamics 360 and the Microsoft platform. For my company, we integrate with 360 for the data migration from Dynamics 360 to Zoho Recruit.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has a really nice scheduling feature, which is very valuable for scheduling interviews. It is an automated feature and one of my favorite things about Jobvite. The other thing that I like about Jobvite is customer service. Their customer service is amazing, and they're constantly improving it and making it better. Jobvite also integrates with LinkedIn."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the interview schedule piece. This allows me to see what interviews are going on. It allows me to put them on my calendar and to track that piece so that I can follow up both with my candidate and with my hiring manager."
"The ability to manage and track candidates in one place, and also when you are scheduling is a plus."
"Having an applicant tracking system like Jobvite helps companies get organized."
"One of the benefits we've had from Jobvite, as we are a high volume recruiting organization in the manufacturing field with around 60 different locations, is that it allows us to manage a very large amount of candidates at a large amount of sites and to still be very site specific."
"I like that the solution is secure and only the admin person has access to download information."
"The solution is very user-friendly and it's really easy to work with even when you don't have technical skills."
"Apart from the UI being very friendly, the workflow and the integrations are excellent."
"Zoho Recruit is an end-to-end ATS that covers requisitions, multi job postings, resume parsing, screening interviews, offers, and many other tools."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Recruit is I can compete with the larger vendors in the business. I am constantly changing the configuration and the solution adapts to my needs."
"Zoho is by far the most comprehensive, and it does all the bits and pieces."
"There are two features I love in Zoho Recruit. The first one is mass customization. I can customize the blueprint how I like, add some steps I want to include, and schedule a date and time to send the emails. I can also use a lot of templates. Secondly, the best thing about Zoho is the customer service. Whenever I have an issue or want to upgrade something, I text them through Zoho, and they respond within 40 seconds."
"Good reporting feature."
 

Cons

"The user experience can be improved."
"It has very inefficient, integration capabilities with the HRS systems"
"Its reporting feature can be improved. Reporting is currently not user friendly, and it is just complicated."
"I'm not a big fan, and I don't find it especially valuable."
"Sometimes it seems, for whatever reason, that not all of the messaging goes through."
"Its reporting feature can be improved. Reporting is currently not user friendly, and it is just complicated. If you want specific reports that aren't available within the system, then you have to pay extra. We don't use Jobvite for onboarding or payroll. They have the option, but we don't use them for onboarding or payroll. We strictly use it just for the recruiting cycle. If we did have a more comprehensive package with them, the reporting might not be so bad. One thing that kind of bothers me is the fact that you can have somebody apply to several different requisitions, and the notes don't merge together because it is requisition-focused. In other words, it is not strictly candidate-focused, which is kind of a pain sometimes. You have to go back and forth with the notes if somebody applies, or you could miss some important information."
"Sometimes it seems, for whatever reason, that not all of the messaging goes through. I don't know if that's an internal email issue or that's an email issue with them. So I will externally follow up a lot of my communication through Microsoft Outlook as my own redundancy to make sure that my messages get out."
"The fact that you can't create a recruiting journey, the fact that you can't have confidentiality, the fact that it doesn't integrate with an HRS system, is really problematic as a company grows."
"It lacks the functionality for finalizing the process when a successful placement is made. There is no invoicing."
"Zoho Recruit could benefit from increased flexibility and customization when creating and sending offer letters to new recruits."
"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable."
"I do not rely on the technical support because they do not always fully understand the issue and they also rely on their Deluge developer."
"I would like them to improve their UX and UI. The front screen or the home page is dull. The tools in the marketplace have flashy home pages and a very funky style. I think that's one area that they can improve. In the future, I would like an option to integrate Zoho by default with other tools, specifically the HR tools. I would love it if I could convert the candidates directly from Zoho. That would be a huge help. They have a paid extension, but it doesn't work well during the trial period."
"There's a bit of a learning curve."
"The cons of Zoho Recruit include the admin learning curve and the time needed to design and govern advanced workflows and blueprints correctly."
"Its automation is currently complicated, and it could be better. The biggest problem is that their instructions, videos, and documentation are terrible. These should be improved. I would like to see an email tracking feature and an option to find email addresses and leads."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is competitive. It is not like they've increased their price in five years, so I'm happy about that. For a specific or customized report, you have to pay a little bit extra."
"Jobvite is a cheap solution."
"Zoho Recruit is an affordable solution in comparison to BambooHR and costs relatively the same as Greenhouse implementation wise. It costs less than $100 per user. Large organizations will be able to get enterprise pricing, and Zoho is transparent with their pricing."
"It is in the middle price range. Everything is included in the price."
"The cost of each user depends on the size of our user base."
"I think it costs about $40 per month for a recruiter account. It comes with ten free accounts. It's well worth the money we are paying."
"The more you scale the solution the more it will cost. If you want the vendor to do the implementation or migration there are extra fees."
"In terms of cost, Zoho is by far the most reasonable for what you're getting. You get the option of monthly or yearly price. It is one cost per person for a license, and it is reasonable. My solutions are $50 per person per month."
