SmartRecruiters vs Zoho Recruit comparison

"What I really like about SmartRecruiters is communication and collaboration between candidates and internal clients or managers."

"SmartRecruiters is much more user-friendly; it's much easier for both candidates and recruiters."

"Job publishing and application tracking are the most valuable features. You can keep the flow of a candidate's application into one system. The whole collaboration can also be done within the system, which means that you can schedule interviews and add your feedback and ratings there. You can also communicate with the candidates. The analytics part of it is also very valuable. It is a useful feature that we use quite a lot. We don't really use other features such as recruitment marketing or CRM candidate relationship management in SmartRecruiters."

"If you're a pretty massive company, this is the one that you would want to look into because it has so much functionality built in."

"With this solution, I was able to add diversity to my recruiting, source from multiple locations, show where applicants came from, and use the reporting tools to expand our reach and add meaningful diversity while reducing the cost of recruiting."

"SmartRecruiters is much better than its competitors, and considering the type of features and services it provides, it is probably one of the best solutions in the market."

"Once we implemented SmartRecruiters, it meant that we were able to have a consolidated global overview of all the recruitment activities."

"The all-encompassing ability to manage the process cohesively out of the SmartRecruiter system was valuable."

"The installation process isn't very complicated."

"The solution is secure and also very user friendly."

"Zoho is by far the most comprehensive, and it does all the bits and pieces."

"Apart from the UI being very friendly, the workflow and the integrations are excellent."

"What I liked about it, was mostly the support you could get."

"The customization feature is the most valuable. I can add candidates to the system without having to go into it manually. I can look at a LinkedIn or PNet profile and literally right-click on it and pass that candidate into my database almost completely. It is 100% accurate for 90% of the time. It also has good security. I can't log in without a fingerprint. To log in, I have to give a fingerprint on my smartphone."

"Zoho Recruit is an end-to-end ATS that covers requisitions, multi job postings, resume parsing, screening interviews, offers, and many other tools."

"The product is very user-friendly, we find it very easy to navigate."

"Around 2015 and into '17, I worked at a federal contractor. I had to switch to a different applicant system as I didn't know if SmartRecruiters was OFCCP compliant, which is something that, as a US-based federal contractor, you have to ensure."

"We ran into some serious issues related to language barriers."

"Some features are not as straightforward or user friendly to implement."

"SmartRecruiters' on-click application process could be better."

"There were limitations with the system that we would have liked, but the company in Germany really dictated that, so we couldn't do everything in the system we would have liked to."

"The filters are not accurate. The results are inaccurate when filtering multiple criteria, such as country and hiring manager."

"I don't see the integration of SmartRecruiters with SAP happening quite seamlessly, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Some features are not as straightforward or user friendly to implement."

"The pricing could be a bit more reasonable."

"There is a limit to the number of lines you can extract."

"There is a limit to the number of lines you can extract, I think it's about 600 lines."

"Zoho Recruit could benefit from increased flexibility and customization when creating and sending offer letters to new recruits."

"No ability to automatically update details."

"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."

"The cons of Zoho Recruit include the admin learning curve and the time needed to design and govern advanced workflows and blueprints correctly."

"There's a bit of a learning curve."

"They are pretty competitive. As the product matures, it has much more functionality and different pricing models. It can relatively cost a lot more if you want to use additional features, but, in general, it is competitive in the industry. We work on a yearly license agreement based on the company size. There are the support costs, which are a part of the additional cost based on the percentage of the licensing fee. So, it has a license plus support cost. Then, of course, there are other add-on options that we can purchase and procure whenever we want to based on certain negotiated arrangements."

"I wasn't involved in its acquisition, but I would assume that SmartRecruiters is pretty pricey."

"Back in 2018, when I engaged with their sales, they wanted to charge around $10,000 for an annual subscription. Depending on your organization, that either could or couldn't be expensive. I personally think it's a fair price. However, I engaged them and negotiated a lower price with them. I think I got closer to $6,000. It came with a commitment of three years."

"SmartRecruiters is much better than its competitors. Considering the type of features and services it provides, it is probably one of the best solutions in the market. Others may offer a similar price, but their services won't be that good or the user-friendliness won't be that great. The licensing works based on how many users are there in a company. If you are using other functionalities, like CRM and HRS, the price increases."

"There were implementation costs in the first year to get everything set up and running, and then they have various modules on top, which are optional and available at an extra charge."

"I haven't been so involved with pricing, so I don't have all details, but I know that we are paying per head when it comes to different countries. There is an additional fee for new features that they release. If it is something that we would like to use, we need to pay some extra for it."

"SmartRecruiters is an expensive solution."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The cost of each user depends on the size of our user base."

"It is in the middle price range. Everything is included in the price."

"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."
