Announcing Zoho Recruit

These

days, HR departments and Recruiting professionals are finding it

increasingly hard to pick the best candidate for a job opening among a

growing pool of eager and qualified applicants. But selecting the best

candidate is not the only problem - managing the increased pool of

resumes, e-mail/phone communications and interviews has also become

more difficult.

That's why today we are

launching our newest product: Zoho Recruit. Zoho Recruit is an

applicant tracking system (ATS) that helps staffing agencies and

recruiting departments track their job openings, resumes,

candidates and contacts quickly and efficiently. Zoho Recruit

allows recruiting professionals to spend less time on the process and

paperwork and more time doing what they do best: getting the right

candidate.

Zoho Recruit allows Recruiting agencies, independent staffing professionals and HR departments to:

• Source

  and Reach Candidates. Gather resumes from multiple sources and do the

  initial filtering and resume screening more quickly - without weeding

  out the qualified candidates.
  

• Manage

  Candidates and Resumes.  Manage resumes and track the candidates

  throughout the interviewing process. Zoho Recruit of course features a

  resume database. But beyond that, you can also schedule interviews,

  send automatic e-mail notifications and log candidate activities and

  notes. And once you've made a decision on a candidate you can "lock"

  him to avoid confusion with other positions or clients.
  

• Create

  and Publish Job Openings. Collect resumes easily by creating and

  publishing the job openings in your website - and allow candidates to

  apply directly from there.
  

• Parse Resumes. Populate resume information from different sources like social sites,

  mail attachments and more through and integration with ResumeGrabber.

  Oh - and Zoho Recruit customers get a very nice discount on

  ResumeGrabber.

• Stay

  on top of what's going on. The activities stream allows recruiters and

  sourcers to stay on top of the recent and future activities. For

  example: what interviews are taking place today, who got hired

  recently, what new job openings do we have to fill?
  

• Customize. No

  two recruiting processes are alike. Zoho Recruit can be fully

  customized to your needs. Create custom fields with our easy

  drag-and-drop UI (powered by Zoho Creator).

addition, recruiting agencies and headhunters will find Zoho Recruit a

great tool for keeping track of the different clients and contacts they recruit for.

Like other Zoho products, Zoho Recruit has a generous free edition. It also has a Standard edition (at only $12 user/month). The main difference is that the Standar edition allows recruiters to add more job openings, do mass mailings, customization and more.

Take a look at Zoho Recruit. We hope you'll like it.
