Zoho People

What Is Zoho People?

Zoho People is an all in one Human Resources Information System (HRIS) designed for small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). Popular in regions like India and the UAE, it serves as a central hub for managing core HR functions such as employee data, attendance, time tracking, and leave management. While it often includes a basic applicant tracking system (ATS), its primary focus is on administering existing employees, not on strategically acquiring new talent.

Why Your HRIS Isn't Your Hiring Solution

For a hiring manager, relying on an HRIS like Zoho People for recruitment feels like using a spreadsheet to run a marketing campaign. It can hold data, but it lacks the intelligence to drive results. The pain point is clear: you are stuck with a passive, administrative tool. You can post a job and collect applications, but the system does little to help you find, screen, or engage the best candidates. It creates manual work, forcing you to sift through dozens of irrelevant resumes and guess which candidates are the best fit.

The HireZapp Advantage: From HR Admin to AI Recruiter

HireZapp transforms recruitment from a clerical task into an intelligent, automated process. While Zoho People manages your employee database, HireZapp builds your future team. Our AI first platform doesn't just track applicants; it actively finds and qualifies them for you. It's the difference between a filing cabinet and an expert hiring partner.

• Instant Job Creation: Turn a simple brief or LinkedIn post into a structured, optimized job description, complete with screening questions, in seconds.
• Deep Candidate Analysis: Our AI goes beyond resume keywords, analyzing profiles from LinkedIn and GitHub to score candidates on skills, traits, and culture fit.
• Automated Ranking & Shortlisting: Stop manual screening. HireZapp surfaces the top 10% of candidates automatically, allowing you to focus on interviewing the best talent, not just the first to apply.

Beyond the Traditional ATS

Many companies graduate from a basic HRIS to a dedicated ATS like Workable or BambooHR, hoping for a better solution. While these platforms offer improved workflows for managing applicants, they still operate on a fundamentally manual premise. The cognitive load of writing JDs, screening resumes, and identifying top prospects remains on your team. They are sophisticated systems of record, not systems of intelligence. HireZapp's AI engine automates these high effort tasks, delivering a qualified shortlist instead of just a long list of applicants.

An HRIS like Zoho People helps you manage the team you already have. HireZapp's AI helps you find and build the world class team you need.
