Introducing hiring manager reviews in Zoho Recruit

Introducing hiring manager reviews in Zoho Recruit



We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking update to our Corporate HR Edition that streamlines your hiring process like never before. Say hello to our enhanced version of Candidate Submissions and Hiring Manager Reviews, designed to make your recruitment journey faster, more efficient, and entirely paperless.

Seamless Candidate Submissions 

When a recruiter submits a candidate profile for an open position, a dedicated record is created in the Submissions sub-module. This record acts as a centralized hub, storing all relevant information related to the submission. No more juggling between emails and files—everything you need is in one place!


Effortless Hiring Manager Reviews

Hiring managers receive instant notifications via email and in-product alerts, right in the notifications menu. With a few clicks, they can now review submitted candidates directly within the system. The intuitive interface allows hiring managers to swiftly approve or reject candidates, making the decision-making process a breeze.


Increase Collaboration, Enhance Team Productivity

By digitizing the submission and review process, Zoho Recruit promotes collaboration among recruiters and hiring managers. With real-time updates and notifications, team members can instantly access candidate profiles, share feedback, and make decisions collaboratively. This enhanced collaboration not only speeds up the hiring process but also fosters a more productive and cohesive team environment, leading to better decision-making and high-quality hires.


Customizable Workflows for Tailored Solutions 

We understand that every organization is unique. That's why we empower you with customizable criteria-based workflows. Imagine triggering automated actions such as sending email alerts, updating fields, executing custom functions, or adding specific tags, all tailored to your specific needs. This flexibility ensures that your hiring process aligns perfectly with your organization's requirements.


Workflow actions for submissions

  • Notifications: Receive instant notifications via Email, Zoho Cliq and Slack when a submission meets specific criteria, ensuring you never miss a potential candidate.
  • Custom Functions: Execute personalized functions, such as scheduling follow-up interviews, without manual intervention.
  • Tags: Categorize submissions with relevant tags for quick and efficient candidate sorting.

Real Life Use Cases

Scenario #1: Streamlined Communication 

Imagine a scenario where a recruiter submits a candidate for a technical position. The hiring manager, immediately notified, reviews the candidate within the system and approves the submission. Simultaneously, an email alert is triggered to the recruiter, ensuring they are aware of the status change promptly.

Scenario #2: Efficient Candidate Tracking

Say, a recruiter submits multiple candidates for various positions. Workflow alerts can be set up to tag submissions based on the hiring manager's department. As hiring managers review and approve candidates, the system automatically updates their review to both the related candidate & submission, making it effortless for HR teams to track candidates across different roles and departments.

Automate your review process

Say you've configured an end-to-end blueprint process and do not wish to disrupt it by manually adding review. You can handle hiring manager reviews using the system transitions Approve Submission and Reject Submission to handle the submission and review process within your blueprint.



This update ensures that your hiring process becomes not just efficient, but also tailored to your unique organizational needs. For more information, refer our help article or contact our customer support team at support@zohorecruit.com.
