Recruiting is one of the most labor-intensive business functions. Thankfully, tools like Zoho Recruit make it easy to source talent, manage your candidate pipeline, and bring the right people on board. But even the greatest recruiting app can't streamline all of your work, especially when your talent team uses a host of other business-critical apps like forms and spreadsheets. That's where automation comes in. 

With Zapier, you can connect Zoho Recruit to your team's other apps—and automate work across them. By automating common workflows, your team can focus on creating a great hiring experience, not keeping up with busywork. 

Not sure how to get started? Here are a few of the most popular Zaps—Zapier's automated workflows—to automate Zoho Recruit.

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.

        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.
