We are thrilled to announce that Zoho Recruit is now a LinkedIn Talent Solutions Partner. By bridging the gap between LinkedIn and Zoho’s applicant tracking system, this partnership is a win-win for candidates and recruiters alike.

Kickstarting this partnership, we are now allowing recruiters to incorporate the “Apply With LinkedIn” button on all their job openings. This integration makes job application process a complete breeze for candidates. Clicking this button will auto-populate all the common fields on the application with information pulled from their LinkedIn profiles, significantly reducing manual data entry.

No more complex job applications 

Simplicity is the key to higher conversions. As Talia Wolf, a Conversion optimization specialist, trainer and speaker, has said, “The less you ask of a user, the more inclined they will be to fill in the form.”

Beyond that, a recent study says that although most employers use webforms to hire and screen candidates, applicants don’t feel motivated to fill in a time-consuming application form. 74% of candidates drop off during the application flow. This indicates that there’s something wrong with how we collect applicant information. Filling in the same details for different applications can cause the candidate to lose interest or make mistakes when inputting their information.

How can AWLI help?

AWLI can also help minimize user input errors (especially on mobile devices). Replace the process of manual filling of candidate application forms for all your job openings with AWLI integration.

We’re sure that this integration is going to make job application process a walk in the park for candidates and increase your talent pool. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this new integration, so feel free to share them in the comments section below.
