Resume Harvester | Zoho Recruit

Resume Harvester | Zoho Recruit



We are thrilled to announce the release of the Resume Harvester feature in Zoho Recruit, available starting today. This tool is designed to streamline your recruitment process by automating candidate searches and sourcing across multiple job boards, helping you find candidates passively and save valuable time.

What is Resume Harvester?

Resume Harvester is a feature in Zoho Recruit that lets recruiters search and import candidate profiles from across multiple job boards at once. It also includes a way to automate candidate sourcing, allowing recruiters to specify criteria, which they can then suspend or clone.



Availability

  • Plan: Professional & Enterprise (including Zoho One and PeoplePlus).
  • Edition: Corporate HR & Staffing Agency.
  • Permission(s) Required: Source Boosters.
  • Search Limits:
    • Professional Plan: 50 active auto searches at one time.
    • Enterprise Plan: 100 active auto searches at one time.

Manual Search

The Manual Search option allows recruiters to search for candidates from multiple Source Boosters simultaneously. This feature simplifies the talent sourcing process, making passive hiring more efficient.


 
Recruiters can specify details such as job titles, keywords, and locations, and Resume Harvester will fetch relevant candidates from the selected job boards. The search results are organized into sub-tabs for each job board, which makes it easier to view and compare candidates.

Auto Search

This automated function of Resume Harvester further enhances efficiency by finding and adding candidate profiles that meet specified criteria.

Recruiters can set parameters like job title, location, experience, and required skills, along with advanced criteria such as expiry dates and candidate limits. Once configured, the auto search runs continuously, adding top candidates from the selected job boards until the set limits are reached.


This not only saves time, but also ensures a steady inflow of potential candidates without manual intervention. Notifications alert recruiters if there are any issues, such as permission or login problems, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted recruitment process.

IRL Examples

Use Case #1: Corporate HR Department

Pain Point
A corporate HR team is overwhelmed with the need to fill multiple positions quickly. The manual process of sourcing candidates from various job boards is time-consuming and inefficient.
Solution
By using Resume Harvester’s Manual Search, the HR team can perform simultaneous searches across multiple job boards with specific criteria tailored to each open position. This streamlined approach reduces the time spent on sourcing, allowing the team to focus on interviewing and hiring the best candidates. The ability to add candidates in bulk directly into Zoho Recruit further accelerates the hiring process.

Use Case #2: Staffing Agency

Pain Point
A staffing agency struggles with maintaining a steady pipeline of candidates for diverse client needs. Manually updating their candidate database is labor-intensive and often leads to missed opportunities.
Solution
Resume Harvester’s Automate Search feature is ideal for staffing agencies needing a continuous flow of qualified candidates. By setting up automated searches with specific criteria, the agency ensures that their candidate database is always up-to-date with fresh profiles. This automated influx helps the agency quickly respond to client demands, enhancing their reputation for efficiency and reliability.

Use Case #3: Small Business Recruitment

Pain Point
Small businesses often lack the resources to conduct extensive candidate searches and manage the recruitment process effectively.
Solution
Resume Harvester provides a cost-effective solution by automating the search and addition of candidates. Small business recruiters can set up basic and advanced criteria in the Automate Search feature, ensuring they receive only the most relevant candidates. This automation frees up valuable time, allowing small business owners to focus on other critical operations while still building a strong team.

Benefits

  • Time Efficiency: Automating the search process saves significant time, allowing recruiters to focus on more strategic tasks.
  • Improved Candidate Quality: Access to multiple job boards increases the chances of finding highly qualified candidates.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Direct integration with Zoho Recruit simplifies the process of adding and managing candidates.
  • Scalability: Suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small companies to large staffing agencies, enhancing their recruitment capabilities.
  • Continuous Sourcing: Automated searches ensure a constant stream of candidates, keeping your talent pool fresh and relevant.

                                    Hi, hope someone can help. When we @mention someone in the comments in Zoho Creator, how is that user notifed as we don't get anything on email or in the app notifications. 
                                  • Zoho unified inbox

                                    The new changes have definitely improved things for switching between accounts.  But zoho still desperately needs a unified inbox.  It sucks to have to enter filters and folders for each and every inbox.  This seems like such a simple thing, i wonder why Zoho hasn't done it?
