Application

An Application in Zoho Recruit is the junction record between a Candidate and a Job Opening, tracking pipeline progress, interview outcomes, and hiring decisions for that specific role.

An Application in Zoho Recruit is the record that links a specific Candidate to a specific Job Opening. It tracks the candidate’s progress through the hiring pipeline for that role, including stage history, interview results, and final disposition.

How Applications Are Created

Applications in Zoho Recruit are created when a candidate applies through the career site, when a recruiter manually associates a candidate to a Job Opening, or when resume parsing pulls in a new applicant from a job board or email. Each application record is separate, meaning a single candidate can have multiple applications across different openings simultaneously.

Application Lifecycle

An application moves through defined pipeline stages from submission to final decision. At each stage, recruiters can log actions, schedule interviews, add feedback, and change the candidate status. The application is closed when the candidate is hired, withdrawn, or disqualified. Historical application data is retained on the candidate record for future reference.

Example: A candidate applies for both a Senior Accountant role and a Finance Manager role at the same company. Zoho Recruit creates two separate application records, each tracking progress independently through their respective pipelines.
