Sound familiar?
Is HR taking too much of your time?
HR work grows quietly with every new employee. These are the usual signs:
-
Attendance is on paper or a biometric machine that nobody can read without an export.
-
Leave balances are in Excel, and employees keep asking HR for them.
-
Shifts are planned on WhatsApp, and changes get missed.
-
Appraisals happen once a year from memory, not from data.
-
Hiring runs through email and phone. Resumes get lost and nobody knows the stage of each candidate.
-
Payroll team re-types attendance and leave every month.

What the software does
Key features of Zoho People and Zoho Recruit
These are the main things the Zoho People and Zoho Recruit software does. Next, we show what we set up for you.
Attendance
Know who is at work
Staff check in from web or mobile, with IP or location limits. Biometric machines and face recognition can also mark attendance.
Leave and shifts
Plan who works when
Set leave policies, approve leave quickly and show balances and holidays. Define shifts, breaks and paid hours.
Performance
Reviews based on data
Set goals and OKRs (key goals for each person), run review cycles and see skill reports.
Hiring
From job post to offer
Zoho Recruit posts a job to many job boards at once, reads resumes into candidate records and tracks each candidate by stage.
HR help desk and automation
Fewer HR questions
Employees raise questions as cases with time limits (SLAs). Workflows send mail alerts and update fields on their own.
