Xref vs Zoho Recruit comparison

"It is often quicker than playing phone tag, which happens a lot when you're doing reference check. Anyone that has done them before knows that they can turn into weeks of playing phone tag."

"In the terms of reference checks, it shortens that whole process, which in turn gets you to offer the best candidate before they get offered somewhere else."

"The installation process isn't very complicated."

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

"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."

"Simple to use, and a comprehensive enough recruitment management tool, easy to acquire and cost-effective to use, and can cover multiple teams, regions, and skills."

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

"The solution is very user-friendly and it's really easy to work with even when you don't have technical skills."

"I like that the solution is secure and only the admin person has access to download information."

"The CV parsing feature is the most valuable. It can parse resumes for the database. It is easy to deploy, and it is also stable and scalable. Its support is also good."

"It would be great to have a defense industry security check option. To be compliant, we have to have a different tool for that."

"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."

"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."

"One of the other issues is that we need to manually update details and that's time consuming."

"It lacks the functionality for finalizing the process when a successful placement is made. There is no invoicing."

"No ability to automatically update details."

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

"Candidate filtering is a little cumbersome. I would love to see all the design and effort Zoho put in to the administrative user experience also be applied to the manager experience side. Quite a bit of filtering has to be done to get to what you want. Also, you can't get through many candidates because Zoho Recruit has a cap on how many candidates you can view at a time. If you've got hundreds of candidates per job, you may have to scroll through 10 pages."

"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."

"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."

"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."
