## Reviews

### "Flexible, Efficient, and a Huge Time Saver for Recruitment" — 4.0/5

> **Owen** | *14 August 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to customise workflows, fields, and templates to match our recruitment process has been a game changer. The integration with job boards is seamless, and the candidate search is quick and accurate. The automation tools and email templates save hours each week, and the mobile app makes it easy to manage candidates on the go.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the more advanced reporting features take a bit of time to set up, and the interface can feel slightly busy until you customise it. A few integrations require additional configuration that might be tricky for non-technical users.

### "Oversold and underdelivered" — 2.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *18 September 2025* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Zoho Recruit is a stable CRM.  They have some integrations that can be helpful but beware, some of the features require additional payment.
> 
> **Cons**: Too much of a communication barrier with your onboarding support team.   They oversell and underdeliver performance and features.   They also want you to share your admin credentials during setup instead of having any type of "partner" or their own credentials.
> 
> We were excited to begin with Zoho recruit but once onboarding started we quickly realized it was not the right tool for us.   We were oversold on on things that the system could do, for example, we were told there was a full integration with RingCentral for phone and SMS.   What they don't tell you that is that you have to pay for an additional 3rd party service to make the outbound SMS work.   We were assigned a project manager, and then 1 week in, that person was removed and put on a different project.

### "Reliable and Pocket Friendly CRM" — 5.0/5

> **Dhaval** | *20 March 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its cost effective and user friendly. Zoho interface is very easy to use for anyone new in system. The CRM is really effective for early age startups.
> 
> **Cons**: I can say I didn't find anything specific to the product but sometimes the portal loads to slowly even if the internet speed is up to the mark.
> 
> We are a recruitment agency, WORKMPLOY, and have been using Zoho Recruit to manage our hiring workflows and client requirements. The platform has been very helpful in organizing candidate data, tracking applicants across different stages, and improving overall recruitment efficiency.&#10;&#10;One of the key strengths is its customization capability, which allows us to tailor pipelines based on different client requirements. The user interface is fairly easy to use and would like to explore more.&#10;&#10;Initially, there is a slight learning curve while setting up workflows and automation. Need more hands on on this.&#10;&#10;Overall, Zoho Recruit is a reliable and cost-effective ATS solution for recruitment agencies looking to streamline their hiring process and improve productivity.
