Job Opening

A Job Opening in Zoho Recruit is the core record for a vacant position, linking job details, candidates, pipeline stages, and offers in one place.

A Job Opening in Zoho Recruit is the central record that represents a vacant position at a company. It holds all details about the role including title, department, location, headcount, and the hiring pipeline assigned to fill it.

What a Job Opening Contains

Each Job Opening record in Zoho Recruit stores the job title, target department, reporting manager, number of positions, expected joining date, and the salary range. It is linked to a Job Description and tracks all associated candidates through their pipeline stages. Recruiters and hiring managers can be assigned directly on the record.

How Job Openings Drive the Recruitment Process

Once a Job Opening is created and published, Zoho Recruit uses it as the anchor for sourcing, screening, and selection. Candidates are associated with a specific opening, and all pipeline movement, interview scheduling, and offer letters are tied back to it. Reports on time-to-fill and cost-per-hire are calculated at the Job Opening level.

Example: An IT company in Pune creates a Job Opening for a Senior Java Developer with 3 open positions. The record is assigned to a recruiter, linked to naukri.com and LinkedIn job board integrations, and candidates begin flowing into the pipeline within hours of publishing.
