How to create applications in Zoho Recruit
An application is basically the relation that is created when a candidate is linked to a job opening. By linking these two things, the process of recruitment is then managed from the application itself, making it easier to keep track of every aspect of said process.
Among other things, an application allows you to handle:
- Notes and attachments
- Check the candidate resume
- Ratings and reviews for a candidate
- Interviews
- To-dos
- Communication via SMS or e-mail
The status of an application can be changed along the process. To create an application, click on the "Applications" module and then click on the "Create application" button:
Now, select the candidate you want to link to a job opening and click the "Associate now" button:
Now, choose the job opening, the application status and write down any comment. Finally, press "Associate":
This will generate an application in the module, that can be used to track the candidate's progression through the hiring process.
