Top 10: Online recruiting software

2019. Zoho Recruit enabled ‘Apply with LinkedIn’



Zoho Recruit has joined forces with LinkedIn Talent Solutions as a partner, enabling recruiters to integrate the "Apply With LinkedIn" button into their job openings. This integration streamlines the job application process, providing candidates with a seamless experience. By clicking the button, common fields in the application form are automatically populated with information extracted from their LinkedIn profiles, significantly reducing the need for manual data entry. This integration also helps mitigate user input errors, particularly on mobile devices. Embrace the AWLI integration to replace the manual process of filling out candidate application forms for all your job openings.


2018. Zoho Recruit integrated with five new job boards



The recruiting service Zoho Recruit has recently established integrations with five prominent job boards: Hirist, Reed, Nexxt, Total Jobs, and PNet. These job boards have evolved beyond being mere platforms for recruiters to post job listings. They have transformed into dynamic environments where candidates maintain their resumes, allowing recruiters to easily discover potential talent. As a result, selecting the appropriate job board has become increasingly crucial for effectively attracting the desired candidates.

2017. Google launched recruiting service Hire


Google has introduced a new service called Google Hire, designed to enhance the internal recruiting process for businesses. Similar to other alternatives, Google Hire offers a comprehensive applicant tracking service that seamlessly integrates with G Suite, enabling businesses to communicate with candidates and effectively monitor their progress throughout the interview process. Earlier this year, Google launched the Google for Jobs initiative, along with a job search feature integrated into Google Search, to assist job seekers in finding suitable employment opportunities. Now, Google is introducing this new tool to aid businesses in managing their candidates. However, the feature that remains absent is the ability for businesses to manage job postings directly, including the option to post them directly to Google's new jobs widget in Search. While Google has developed an AI-powered job search engine, it has chosen to collaborate with major online job boards rather than pursuing this functionality.


2016. Randstad buys recruitment portal Monster for $429M



Amsterdam-based human resources and recruitment company, Randstad Holdings, has announced its acquisition of the job hunting portal Monster for a sum of $429 million. Despite the acquisition, Monster will retain its brand and continue to function as a distinct entity. The primary objective behind this move is to consolidate various facets of the recruitment and employment industry, capitalizing on the benefits of scale and establishing a comprehensive "portfolio of HR services," as stated by Randstad. Jacques van den Broek, CEO of Randstad, expressed that Monster serves as a natural complement to Randstad. The transaction aligns with the goal of bridging the gap between labor supply and demand, facilitating improved connections between individuals and suitable job opportunities.


2016. Hiring service SmartRecruiters raises $30 million



Because the task of managing a large pool of job applicants can be burdensome, SmartRecruiters, an AI-powered recruiting service, believes that its software offers the necessary tools to maintain organization during the candidate search process. Currently, SmartRecruiters has secured an additional $30 million in funding, on top of the $25 million already raised. Noteworthy clients such as Square, Atlassian, and Equinox gyms utilize SmartRecruiters to streamline job postings and facilitate communication regarding potential employees. Despite facing competition from other hiring software platforms like Jobvite and Brassring, the developers of SmartRecruiters are confident that there is ample room for multiple players in the market, given the high demand for hiring assistance among countless companies.


2016. Jobandtalent gets $42M to mobilize hiring for SMEs



Jobandtalent, a startup renowned for its matching technology that automatically connects employers with potential job candidates (and vice versa), has successfully concluded a Series B funding round, securing $42 million. The company has shifted its focus from catering to enterprise recruitment needs and instead directed its attention towards small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) where job turnover is higher and a greater number of job opportunities are available. This trend is partially driven by the increasing prevalence of shorter-term work engagements, as technology facilitates the emergence of "on-demand" or temporary job requirements. Jobandtalent, which offers a free hiring platform, has also introduced a new business model. It now provides optional staff management services for SMEs, encompassing tasks such as recruitment, HR administration, employment contract generation, payroll management, and tax handling. In exchange for these services, the company charges a percentage from the employee's payroll, with the exact percentage being subject to ongoing experimentation.


2015. Recruiting service Resumator rebrands as Jazz



Recruiting service Resumator was initially launched in 2009 with a primary focus on spreading the word about job openings and managing incoming resumes. However, over time, it has evolved into a comprehensive recruiting platform. Recognizing this transformation, the company has made the decision to rebrand itself as Jazz. Similar to its predecessor, Jazz places emphasis on data-driven hiring, enabling companies to identify the most suitable candidates based on a holistic profile that encompasses not only job-related aptitude but also soft skills such as cultural fit and work style. Throughout the hiring process, interviewers evaluate candidates based on this profile. Jazz offers its services in three tiers. The basic tier, priced at $149/month, allows businesses to publish job listings online, akin to the early versions of Resumator. The second tier ($299/month) provides additional tools to assist with the hiring process, and the third tier encompasses all the features mentioned above.
