How Zoho Recruit processes and ranks applications
The technical criteria the software uses to read, rank and evaluate resumes.
Resume parsing into records
The system reads your resume and creates a candidate record with experience, education and skills. Anything it cannot read as text may be missing from that record.
Searchable database
Recruiters search the candidate database by skills, titles and keywords, so the terms in your resume decide whether you appear in the results.
Shortlisting
Recruiters tag candidates and send a shortlist to the client or hiring manager, who sees a condensed profile first.
- Information in images or graphics that the parser cannot turn into text.
- Skills and tools missing from your resume that the role explicitly asks for.
- Titles or terms that differ from how the industry normally names the role.
- Checks that your resume is read cleanly as text by a typical parser.
- Finds terms from the job description that your resume does not mention.
- Audits whether your most relevant experience is easy to find and shortlist.
- Generates a cover letter targeted at the specific role.
