Automatically schedule meetings with candidates

Recruiting is a high-pressure environment—especially if you're managing a large volume of applications. And scheduling calls with applicants can be a job in and of itself, which means you have less time to spend sourcing candidates and making hiring decisions.

Instead of trying to coordinate interviews manually, you can use Zapier to automate the process. For example, you can create a Zap that sends calendar invites to candidates based on activity in Zoho Recruit—so you can focus on crafting a high-quality candidate experience. 

Connect Zoho Recruit to your spreadsheets

Candidates can come from all kinds of sources—online applications, job fairs, industry conferences, and more. But often, they all end up in the same place: a spreadsheet. In reality, they can't live there forever; you need to move that information into Zoho Recruit quickly and efficiently.

Thankfully, automation is great for moving large amounts of data around without copy-pasting or manually exporting CSV files. For example, you can create a Zap that instantly turns new (or updated) rows in a spreadsheet into records in Zoho Recruit.

You can also create a Zap that does the opposite, adding rows to a spreadsheet anytime there's a new or updated record in Zoho Recruit. This is a great way to back up or share important candidate information.

Seamlessly add form responses to Zoho Recruit

Of course, you might want to add candidates or other information to Zoho Recruit directly from a source like a form, such as from an embedded application on your company website. But you still don't need to do any manual data entry to make this happen—Zapier can automate it for you. 

You can create a Zap that turns form responses into new Zoho Recruit records (or updates existing records), so your recruiting team always has the most up to date information at their fingertips. 

Automatically turn leads into candidates

There are lots of ways to source candidates, and you might get a little creative with your outreach by running digital ads. But you still need to ensure that those leads make it into Zoho Recruit so your team can assess whether they're a good fit and reach out to the best ones.

You can create a Zap that connects your lead source to Zoho Recruit so every new lead automatically turns into a new or updated record.

Streamline your hiring with Zoho Recruit and Zapier

Finding the right people to hire is difficult enough—manual work shouldn't make it more difficult. With Zapier, you can automate all your crucial recruiting workflows by connecting Zoho Recruit to the other apps you use every day—so you can focus on attracting the best talent.
