Zoho Recruit compared to other ATS's

Zoho Recruit compared to other ATS's

 After almost three years of using Zoho Recruit, I decided to go on a free trial of another well recognized ATS for 3rd party recruiters.  My biggest concern with Zoho is maybe it was not as robust as others.  What I have found is that Zoho is at very similar level of performance.  In my opinion, here are some items that would make it better.

* Make the search field function on a partially spelled name or word.  Sometimes you can remember a name closely but perhaps mispelling last name.

* Improve the candidate search field to include functions such as searching by zipcode radius.

* Highlight words/phrases in a candidate record that were used in the search box in order to better see why a record was found in the search.

I'm sure there are more small ones and at this point, I'm most likely to stay with Zoho however what's mentioned above would get me to almost 99% satisfaction !

                                                                                                                  ユーザーの皆さま、こんにちは。コミュニティチームの藤澤です。 今回は「Zoho CRM アップデート情報」の中から通貨機能のアップデートをご紹介します。 CRMの複数通貨機能を使うと、地域ごとに通貨を管理し、顧客の現地通貨で記録したデータを自国通貨に自動換算して分析やレポートに活用できます。 従来は、為替レートを管理者が手動で定期更新する必要があり、各データには作成時点のレートが固定されるため、その後の市場変動は反映されませんでした。 本記事では、この問題を解消する「為替レートの自動更新」をはじめ、さまざまな新機能をご紹介します。
