Guidelines for Publishing Jobs from Zoho Recruit

Job Boards are an excellent resource for both agency recruiters and corporate hiring teams. Zoho Recruit has integrated with several premium job boards across multiple geographies to ensure that your job posting gets a wider scope of visibility, which also accelerates your process of finding the right candidates.

Zoho Recruit only acts as a facilitator and is not an official representative of the listed job boards. These integrations have been crafted as an added feature for our users. Please note that the pricing and terms for each individual job board, as opted by users, may vary at the discretion of the service providers, as some are paid and some are offered free.

Also note that all consent for listing, providing services, and any validation of jobs into job boards are at the discretion of the service providers, and not Zoho Recruit.
Notes
Note:
  1. Free job boards are enabled by default.
  2. By publishing jobs to any job board, users agree to share relevant information, including company details, job details, and related data, with the selected job boards during the publishing process. This information is shared at the user’s discretion.
  3. When you publish jobs from Zoho Recruit, the job publishing information is transferred to the regional data center corresponding to the job board’s location. The transfer will be carried out through a structured XML feed that contains the relevant job data.

Before You Post: Mandatory Guidelines

To successfully publish a job on job boards through Zoho Recruit, your job posting must meet the following criteria:

1. Company Profile

  1. When you register in Zoho Recruit, company information is collected.
  2. The company name, user email address, and company website must match for successful job publishing.
  3. To update company details:
    1. Go to Setup > General > Company Details
    2. Click the Edit icon (beside your Company Name)
    3. Enter your updated company information and Save
  4. Only ADMIN users can update company information, but STANDARD users can still publish jobs on the career site.

2. Email Address

  1. Use your work email address. Free email domains (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.) are often restricted by job boards.
  2. If your organization doesn’t have a custom domain but you still want to publish jobs:
    1. Go to the Setup > General > Company Details and click Edit.
    2. Click Request Manual Approval to submit a verification request to Zoho Recruit Support
    3. We will review and may approve your publishing eligibility within 24 hours business hours.

3. Job Posting Date

  1. The publishing date must be within the last 30 days.
  2. After 30 days, the job will be automatically unpublished, with no notification.
  3. To repost an expired job:
    1. Go to the job opening record and click Sourcing Summary.
    2. Click Republish.

4. Specified Location

  1. Every job must include City and State.
  2. For boards with worldwide reach, Country must also be specified.
  3. Do not include location information in the job title.
  1. Job posts must not contain links to external websites.
  2. Many job boards reject listings that include links, even to your own site, especially if they do anything other than direct candidates to the application form.
  3. Avoid calls-to-action like “send an application,” “call this number,” etc., in the description.

6. Clear Call-to-Action

  1. All job adverts include an “Apply Now” button that leads candidates to the application form.
  2. This should be the only call-to-action in the posting.
  3. Candidates who apply will appear in your Zoho Recruit Candidate tab, and you’ll receive daily notifications of new applicants.

7. Job Opening Specific

  1. The job advert must describe a specific employment opening — generally full-time, part-time, or long-term contractor roles.
  2. Most job boards do not accept:
    1. Short-term (hourly) work
    2. Multi-level marketing programs
    3. Third-party solicitations
    4. Indirect or unclear employment offers
  3. Even if legitimate, these types of postings may not be published.

Why Jobs Might Not Appear on Job Boards

Even after following all the steps and successfully publishing through Zoho Recruit, your job might not be visible on the job board. Here’s why:
  1. Once jobs are published, Zoho Recruit generates an XML feed that is sent to the job board.
  2. Actual posting on the job board is controlled entirely by the job boards itself.
  3. If your job isn’t appearing, contact the support team of that specific job board for assistance.
