Zoho Recruit's Chatbot: Now Integrated with Candidate Portal

Zoho Recruit's Chatbot: Now Integrated with Candidate Portal



We're thrilled to announce a powerful integration between Zoho Recruit's chatbot, powered by Zia, and the Candidate Portal! This exciting update simplifies the recruitment process for both recruiters and candidates, fostering a more engaging and efficient experience.

Introducing Zia in the Candidate Portal 

Imagine having a personal AI assistant guide candidates through their job search journey directly from their portal account. That's precisely what Zia offers!

Effortless Job Discovery



Zia transcends simple keyword matching. By analyzing uploaded resumes or manually entered details, Zia intelligently recommends jobs that align perfectly with a candidate's unique skill set and experience. This ensures candidates discover only the most relevant opportunities, saving them valuable time and effort.
Example

John, a marketing specialist with social media campaign expertise, uploads his resume to Zia. Zia analyzes John's skills and experience and recommends several open marketing positions that require social media expertise. Previously, John might have come across these postings, but relevant keywords might have been buried within the job descriptions. With Zia's analysis, John sees these opportunities front and center, increasing his chances of landing his dream job.

Effortless Application & Job Tracking 


Managing multiple job applications can be a hassle. Zia simplifies this process by providing candidates with a clear and organized list of all the jobs they've applied for on your platform. This allows them to easily track their application status and stay informed.
Example

After applying for several positions on your Zoho Recruit platform, David feels unsure of which applications he's submitted. He chats with Zia, who displays a comprehensive list of all his applications, including deadlines and any updates from recruiters. With this information readily available, David can prioritize his follow-ups and feel confident that he hasn't missed any important details.

Additional Points to Remember 

  • To access the chatbot, candidates must provide grant consent for using their information.
  • When displaying matching jobs, Zia only shows the job title, location, and type for each opportunity.
  • Zia can currently display a maximum of 10 relevant jobs at a time to candidates.
  • Client-contact details are not revealed to candidates through Zia.
  • The information Zia uses is based on the fields you've enabled in your Candidate Portal setup.
By integrating Zia with the Candidate Portal, you're creating a more efficient and candidate-centric recruitment process. Zia helps attract top talent by providing a smooth, informative, and personalized job search experience.
