Thinking of Leaving Zoho Recruit? Here’s How Atlas Transforms Your Agency

Zoho Recruit offers might be the perfect fit when your agency was just getting started. But as your business grows and client expectations evolve, relying on basic CRM features can quickly hold you back. 

Today’s competitive market demands faster outreach, smarter data, and tools that actively help you place more candidates, not just track them. Atlas is an applicant tracking system (ATS) built for agencies ready to level up. 

With advanced automation, integrated outreach, and AI-powered tools, Atlas helps you scale your operations, deliver a standout client experience, and free your team from manual admin, so you can focus on what truly drives growth.

Why are agency recruiters outgrowing Zoho Recruit?

Manual data entry slows teams down

Zoho Recruit still relies on heavy manual input. This means recruiters spend too much time updating records and not enough time building relationships or closing roles.

Rigid workflows limit flexibility

When client needs change or new challenges arise, rigid workflows make it harder for recruiters to adapt quickly. This can result in missed opportunities and frustrated clients.

Lack of advanced automation

Modern agencies need access to automation to stay competitive. Zoho Recruit doesn’t offer the depth of AI-driven features needed to speed up processes, personalise outreach, or free up recruiters’ time.

Clients expect more than basic updates

Today’s clients want proactive, data-backed communication that positions your agency as a true partner. A basic system that only tracks activity no longer meets these expectations.

As agencies scale and look to stand out, they need a platform that supports smarter, faster, and more flexible ways of working. It’s exactly what Atlas was built to do. Try it today >>

Outreach campaigns: turn data into placements

Go beyond one-off emails

Atlas provides you with the technology to build personalised business development (BD) campaigns and increases the chances of a positive response to all your job openings. Contact candidates in meaningful, productive ways, tailored based on your previous comms.

Improve response rates and pipeline quality

With access to targeted messaging and automated follow-ups, you can master your applicant tracking efforts and connect with more candidates and move them through your pipeline faster, helping fill roles sooner.

Manage everything in one place

You’ll never need separate email tools or external campaign software again. Atlas brings more advanced features, such as outreach and advanced analytics, directly into your core workflow, making it easy for recruiters to track engagement and measure success without leaving the CRM.

Executive search reports: impress clients and win repeat business

Give clients real-time visibility

Atlas offers customisable, branded executive search reports that keep clients updated on search progress, market insights, and candidate quality at every stage. Customise your reports to specific industry needs and fine-tune them to fit the expectations of all companies in your client list.

Position your agency as a strategic partner

By sharing transparent, data-driven updates, you demonstrate a level of expertise and professionalism that helps build long-term trust and loyalty. Add your feedback, notes, and examples to each report to offer managers additional context for your decisions. Best of all, refer to your past communications at any time by asking Atlas’ AI anything regarding your candidate.

Win more repeat business

When clients feel informed and confident in your process, they’re more likely to return for future searches and recommend your agency to peers looking for other options. High-quality reporting isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a competitive advantage.

Integrations: everything in one place, no juggling tools

Connect calls, emails, and productivity tools

Atlas integrates seamlessly with the tools your recruiters already use, so all communication and scheduling stay centralised and easy to track. And with built-in calendar tools, you can say goodbye to your scheduling tool subscription, saving money and trimming your software stack for good measure.

Eliminate fragmented workflows

Switching between different platforms wastes time and increases the risk of losing important information. With Atlas, everything is connected, reducing friction to accommodate high-value work.

Keep your data in sync automatically

When every tool talks to each other, your records stay accurate and up to date without extra manual input. This means fewer errors, less admin, and more reliable candidate and client interactions.

AI agents: free your team from repetitive admin

Automate time-consuming tasks

Atlas’s AI agents handle routine work like sending follow-ups, updating candidate statuses, and scheduling interviews. With smart workflow automation in place, recruiters can finally focus on what they do best — building relationships and closing roles.

Reduce errors and improve consistency

Automated processes mean fewer manual mistakes and more consistent applicant tracking and communication with candidates and clients. Everything is kept on an upward growth trajectory, without the need for constant oversight.

Empower recruiters to focus on growth

When admin is taken off their plate, recruiters have more energy and time to focus on sourcing, improving candidate experience, and developing new business opportunities. This directly drives revenue and supports agency growth without the need for other solutions in your software stack.
