Workflow (Recruit)

A Workflow in Zoho Recruit is a condition-triggered automation that sends emails, creates tasks, or updates fields, reducing manual recruiter effort and ensuring consistent candidate communication.

A Workflow in Zoho Recruit is an automated rule that triggers a predefined action when a specified condition is met. Workflows can send emails, create tasks, update fields, or notify users when candidate records or applications meet defined criteria.

How Workflows Work in Zoho Recruit

Recruiters and administrators build workflows in Zoho Recruit by defining a trigger (such as a candidate moving to a new stage, a field value changing, or a record being created), a condition set (filtering to specific jobs, stages, or values), and one or more actions. Actions include sending an email, creating a task for a recruiter, updating a custom field, or sending an in-app notification.

Common Workflow Use Cases

Typical workflows in Zoho Recruit include sending candidates an acknowledgement email when they apply, notifying the hiring manager when a candidate is shortlisted, sending interview reminders 24 hours before a scheduled interview, and updating the sourcing channel field when a candidate is added from a specific source. These automations reduce manual work and improve candidate communication consistency.

Example: A retail chain in Pune sets up a workflow in Zoho Recruit that triggers an acknowledgement email to every candidate who applies through the career site within 15 minutes of submission. This improves the candidate experience without requiring recruiter action on each individual application.
