Zoho Recruit | Formatted Resume

Formatted Resume: Overview

The resumes you receive from candidates do not have consistent designs or a uniform format. To combat this, Zoho Recruit's Formatted Resume lets you generate branded resumes that you can forward to your clients. Additionally, you can choose what information you wish to share with your clients.

Let's say you're trying to submit 10 candidates for review to a Client and each resume is unique. With Zoho Recruit's Formatted Resume, you can generate branded versions using a common template and ensure the profiles you forward follow a certain format.

Template types

Zoho Recruit offers three types of formatted resume templates, namely, Basic, Standard, and Advanced. Each template can be customized according to your hiring needs.

Basic Template
Standard Template
Advanced Template
The Basic Template adds a header and footer to the candidate's resume and lets you hide (redact) information such as contact details, address information, etc.
The Standard Template arranges field data from the candidate record into sections such as Basic Info., Address Info., Professional Details, etc.
Although the various sections are customizable, certain fields can only be placed under their associated sections.
The Advanced Template lets you build templates from scratch in Zoho Writer. Once you have designed the template, you can populate it with merge fields (Candidate, User & Organization details). See More
