Microsive ATS vs Zoho Recruit

Zoho Recruit is the name most Indian agencies already know, it comes from the same company as Zoho Books and Zoho CRM, and that brand trust is real. The comparison that actually matters for a small placement agency isn't brand recognition, it's whether the product was built around how an Indian recruitment desk actually works day to day.

The verdict

Zoho Recruit makes sense if your agency already runs on Zoho Books and Zoho CRM and wants one vendor for everything. If your agency's actual bottleneck is screening volume and candidates who only reply on WhatsApp, Microsive ATS was built around exactly that problem, Zoho Recruit was not.
