Considered Both Products

Chose greytHR
The biggest strength of greytHR is the affordability and the option to purchase it in modules whilst its biggest disadvantage is the user experience.

All the other products stack up similarly for "employee management" but some have "employee engagement" as well.
Chose greytHR
The first major advantage of greytHR over Zoho people is the price. The amount of money being spent for all employees to maintain their info in greytHR is quite good and affordable when compared to its alternatives. Also, greytHR seems to be developed by taking all the …

Chose Zoho Recruit
The main difference maker for us was pricing. Zoho's pricing was much more competitive for a company our size. We also liked that we could try the software before committing to it.
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zohorecruit is the best platform for small and mid-sized companies. It will help us to save lots of time in the recruitment and hiring journey. We have used Oorwin also in the past, but this is much better than the Oorwin, and it's very robust and easy to use, and the site is …
Chose Zoho Recruit
The all-in-one recruitment, good price, easy-to-connect with other systems, custom reporting, and notification.
Chose Zoho Recruit
I was first introduced to Zoho Recruit by a colleague. I was impressed by the ease of use and pricing. I've been a happy user of Zoho for 3+ years now. I have been checking out Loxo because I have friends in the industry that rave about it.
Chose Zoho Recruit
I do not have much familiarity with other products, but Zoho Recruit has worked very well [with] our team, and we have had successful hires. I know we have also used Recruit CRM and have had success with this tool as well, but it does not integrate into the other Zoho products, …
Chose Zoho Recruit
The ability to modify different fields, the accuracy of parsing is efficient, and the ease of implementation and support makes Zoho Recruit a standout platform. From the pricing tiers they have for different businesses and organizations plus the ratings we saw for the …
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zoho Recruit is surely at par with workable and LinkedIn jobs, but [lags] behind in terms of new candidate discovery. Also, it mostly always is the second one to get new features that other tools try and that work for them. But overall, it's a fast, simple and easy to use tool.
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zoho Recruit is way better than any other softwares simply because it integrates with other Zoho products. If you use other zoho products, then this is a no brainer.
Chose Zoho Recruit
We didn't use another software before so we are very happy we found Zoho Recruit. It is way better than not using a software. The price is reasonable and makes things very easy.
Chose Zoho Recruit
I've only selected Zoho Recruit because that is the Applicant Tracking System my current company uses. I would actually choose Lever over Zoho Recruit because they send me notifications if I've set a reminder in the past, while Zoho does not. You have to just check what tasks …

Zoho Recruit is far superior to all the other tools I evaluated. It alows for a ton of customization across the application. Templates and automated workflows allow for streamlining processes. It has integrations with several Zoho products and external tools, including …
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zoho Recruit stacks up on the price and quality of service. We are a small business and our budget is limited. We are looking for the most out of our business and looking to scale the business with the right resources for the job.
Chose Zoho Recruit
We evaluated Zoho Recruit first, and we found it suitable for our needs. We have used it now for over a year. We chose this application because we wanted to reduce most of the manual work done by the HR team, but after one year we have not been able to fully operationalize the …
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zoho has everything that you can want in a recruiting software. From on time support and a vast expansion available to fit yout needs. It is very flexible.
Chose Zoho Recruit
Arithon is a widely used system, it is similar in functionality, but much more expensive. Salesforce has a system also, but once again is very expensive, and too cumbersome, might be better for very large organizations. We have viewed other systems, such as Firefish, but again …
Chose Zoho Recruit
Maybe not quite as good as the big boys in the market, but at a fraction of the cost certainly worth the consideration.
Chose Zoho Recruit
I have used both Bullhorn CRM and Zoho. Both are very good products. However, the price point for Zoho is much less than that of Bullhorn. That being said you don't have all the support or customization options in Zoho that we had in Bullhorn. In this case - since we simply …
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zoho does well as we did not have to purchase other assets like a Web Server, Database, and pay a developer to get it rendered and running
Chose Zoho Recruit
Bullhorn and RDB were much advanced and maybe better suited to large agencies, however the costs for them is significantly higher. Workable I didn't think was helpful at all in managing vacancies, in fact it seemed pretty useless. Zoho had the best features at the most …
Chose Zoho Recruit
Zoho is far superior in my opinion to all other systems and can not be beat for the price point. This system has everything a business owner could ask for and with half the price. I would highly encourage any recruiter or staffing firm to take a look at this platform.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
greytHR can be recommended when starting off exploring HRMS tools. However, the robustness of the tool needs improvement so that it can fit everyone's use case as well as inclusion of newer features that many competitors offer already. If you have a very big team, then this tool may not be the perfect fit as bugs will be easily visible

With the business I am in I have to be able to search and reach potential candidates from hours away due to the scope of the contract we have covering a solid couple hundred sq. miles of the state; so being able to have a software that can search, sort, rank, and suggest candidates without having to spend ours of time or driving hours for an interview I can connect with one person and make a decision and have the software there for them and send an email or two with the steps and instructions and 5 minutes later be doing the same for another candidate hours away without even needing to leave the office or even from home and knowing that I'm able to monitor and adjust the steps or make adjustments along the way and being able to trust that it is choosing quality candidates and able to help me hire the right people to do my job to keep my contractors and homeowners safe is amazing for our business.

  • Like other HR-based services, Zoho Recruit allows you to track the behavior of candidates during the execution of your hiring process, so that you can create constant notes of any problems that may arise and that may prevent a proper job.
  • The relationship between employers and candidates can be measured, which is excellent for creating reports on the development of each hiring process, and employees can then be evaluated on their ability to manage and communicate correctly with each candidate under their direct care.
  • Hiring sessions can be recorded using a variety of methods. It does not necessarily have to be done using an audiovisual recording tool (which is possible through different integrations) but a convenient recording system that allows you to note down important data, and where even the candidate's photographs can be saved.
  • We believe that some features of Zoho Recruit's support service could be improved, although this is probably a general service by the Zoho team for all their programs. The staff is not sufficiently explanatory, and therefore we have not been able to meet our expectations for troubleshooting.
  • We like that using Zoho Recruit is so convenient, and that it interfaces well with the other services that the entire Zoho suite has to offer: Zoho Recruit is a good alternative for human resources, which shows a reliable and easy-to-manage operability, so that all registration and follow-up processes are simple.

Cons
  • Very buggy at times, needs improvements in resolving bugs
  • While the UI is very straightforward, it does not feel modern.
  • Could have an option for employees to anonymously update how they feel on any given day.

  • When searching for a name, it brings up much too broad of a list.
  • Adding candidates from LinkedIn sometimes has a lengthy delay and takes up to 2 minutes to be able to search from them, though I have found a workaround by navigating to the home page to find activity of adding a candidate.
  • Would be helpful if it were more intuitive with adding duplicates.

We have evaluated every other ATS on the market, and do so every 1-2 years just to make sure we aren't missing out on anything better, and found that Zoho offers more functionality than any ATS with a per-recruiter-price under $100. Once it introduces automated job alerts and candidate login functionality there will be no reason for us to look elsewhere.

The user interface looks clunky and designed by engineers. I suspect it didn't undergo much user testing.

I give Zoho Recruit this rating because over all, it has helped me to organize my candidates and saved me time and energy in organizing them myself. Without Zoho Recruit, I simply would not be able to keep my talent pool straight, and it certainly gets the job done. I took off a couple points because if I download a resume after already inputting the candidate into Zoho, it won't automatically sync the two profiles up. It also does not remind me when a task is expired.

Zoho Recruit is far superior to all the other tools I evaluated. It alows for a ton of customization across the application. Templates and automated workflows allow for streamlining processes. It has integrations with several Zoho products and external tools, including Zapier. It provides a set of APIs to use with it. It allows for to-do lists with reminders. It allows for storage of all documents shared by candidates, including assignments. It allows you to create customized offer letters for candidates and keep track of them through the application. None of these capabilites are available in the other tools that I experimented with
