Don't miss out on these features

Hello there,

Listed below are a few newly released features that'll make your day easier. Check out how these features help you straighten up your hiring process and how you can incorporate them into your existing workflow.

Outlook Add-in


The Zoho Recruit add-in for MS Outlook enables you to view the details of your Recruit account in your Outlook account. We have made the UI to be intuitive and responsive. With this plug-in you can now perform the following the actions
  • Add candidates or contacts from your email inbox
  • Associate job openings and tags with candidates
  • Add notes and create to-dos for the candidates or contacts
  • Parse attachments and create candidate records

Layout Rules


Your recruitment data is often inter-dependent. When you are creating a record for a candidate, not all the fields are necessarily filled. For example, if the candidate is a fresher he would not need the Previous Experience section in the record. This can make the record look cluttered and unorganized.

This is where layout rules enter the picture. Specify rules that trigger fields based on the conditions that you have given. These dynamic layouts are called Conditional Layouts. Conditional layouts in Zoho Recruit offer an interface for you to manage dependencies between fields in a layout seamlessly.

Consider the following examples:
  • When creating a candidate record, the particulars of each candidate differ depending on the experience of the candidate. 
  • Staffing agencies recruiting for the healthcare industry will have different sections of particulars for doctors and nurses.
  • In the IT industry, the particulars of a Java developer will differ from that of a technical support engineer. 
So, the value you enter for one field will decide the necessity for a bunch of other fields. When you are filling the details for a candidate with no experience or is a fresher, the Previous experience fields are not even required - but they are still on your layout. You may be looking at 10 fields when you need only 5.

However, you cannot do away with the remaining 5 fields in the layout - as they are required when filling the details of an experienced candidate. This is where conditional layouts enter the picture. Conditional layouts are created with layout rules, by which you can establish an interface in which certain fields are shown depending on the value entered in a previous field.

As a result you are able to make your layouts dynamic - as the entire structure of a layout changes based on field values you enter. Note that you are not eliminating fields from the layout, you are only controlling how a layout appears based on certain field values.

Mass Conversions


Converting candidates to contacts one by one has become a thing of the past. With the new Mass conversions option, you can convert candidates to contacts (or vice-versa) in bulk.
