Small business is a racing field, and it is a must for every business to keep a check on the business stats all the time. You have to keep track of several things including sales, expenses, profit margins etc. It becomes difficult to manage all these things manually, and that is where a receipt software comes as a savior.
Here are the best software for recruitment in a small business.

Zoho Recruit is a robust recruiting software that has one of the fullest and most customizable feature sets we’ve seen. It’s designed for staffing agencies and corporate HR teams that handle multiple job openings at once. However, the pricing is by recruiter, making it a cost-effective choice for small businesses as well, and small business users praise it for ease of use and functionality.
With 4.59 out of 5 on our evaluation, Zoho Recruit had perfect scores for pricing, functionality and reports. It also scored very highly in all areas. Further, users rated it an average of 4.4 out of 5 on various review sites. Nonetheless, its size and complexity make it better suited for companies that do a lot of hiring.
Zoho Recruit Pricing
Zoho is one of the few on the list that provides a forever free plan, which works for a single job ad at a time with candidate management.
The paid plans start as low as $30 per user per month ($25 per month if you pay annually) and include job posting, resume management, and candidate tracking. For screening and background checks, you need higher plans. Unlike most of the software on our list, it also lets you add on some features for an additional fee.
Zoho is unique in that it not only lets you cancel any time, but also offers a money-back guarantee. Others will allow you to cancel, but rather than refund partial payments, they let you finish out your month.
Zoho Recruit Features
Zoho Recruit is designed for busy HR departments and staffing agencies.

- Job boards: Zoho posts to over 300 job boards, paid and free, as well as social media like LinkedIn, Google for Jobs, and Facebook. It also manages employee referrals. While it does not have as many job boards as several on our list, it includes the major players. In addition, Zoho lets you create your own recruiting campaigns by emailing past applicants about new jobs they may qualify for. Only ZipRecruiter, Monster, and Indeed offer a similar function.
- Assessment assistance: Zoho Recruit has a resume parser and background checks to help you find the best candidate. In addition, its AI, Zia, can rate candidates and provide you a list ranked by how they match job requirements.
- Temp job searches: Temp agencies can benefit from Zoho’s Workerly plan. It searches your database of temps based on your criteria, then handles the assignment, time sheet tracking, and invoices. No other recruiting software on our list has a similar feature.
- Candidate portal: Zoho Recruit’s higher-tier plans include a candidate portal where applicants can see what jobs they’ve applied to and the status of their application. This is a great feature for large companies. Only ZipRecruiter and Indeed offer a similar service to applicants, and it’s not company-specific.
- Customizable reports: Of all the recruiting software we evaluated, Zoho has the most complete report builder. It lets you create a report from the ground up, choosing up to 25 data points, setting up in-depth filters, and choosing how the reports are displayed. Once you’ve created reports, you can save them to re-run or modify.
What Zoho Recruit Is Missing
- Onboarding: Zoho Recruit does not have onboarding tools, unless you purchase and integrate with other Zoho software. For more onboarding and HR tools, look at ApplicantPro or Freshteam.
- Simplicity: Zoho offers a lot of tools and customizations, which makes it more complex than most of the software on our list.

Read full reviewVisit Freshteam
Freshteam takes you from recruiting to offer acceptance. Its free plan is perfect for small businesses that only hire a couple of jobs at a time, but its other plans start at $71 per month for the platform, plus $1.20 per employee per month. It posts to multiple paid and free job boards, has screening questions and automated emails, and additional features that make it easy to get contracts signed and new hires ready to work.
Freshteam is our No. 1 free applicant tracking system and ranks highly among paid systems, too, with 4.51 out of 5. It earned a perfect score for pricing, functionality, and reports. It lost some points for not doing background checks, and its user review ratings were not as high as others on our list.
Freshteam Pricing
For businesses with fewer than 50 employees, the free plan is actually as good as many of the paid plans from other companies. You can post up to three jobs per month. The drawback is that you may have to pay for subscriptions to sites like Monster to get a larger reach. The only other software that earned a perfect score in pricing is Zoho Recruit.

Freshteam Features
You can create application forms with custom information.
(Source: Freshteam)
- Free plan: Freshteam has the best free plan, not only on this list, but that we’ve seen overall. You can post up to three jobs at a time, create a basic career site, track the applicant process with Kanban boards, collaborate with your team, and more. The free trial even includes extras for your existing employees like a company directory and basic time off management.
- Job boards: Freshteam posts to Glassdoor, Adzuna, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and Indeed. You can integrate other job boards, and you will need to pay for premium accounts on the boards you choose. In addition, you can make job postings available internally to your employees.
- Complete hiring processes: Freshteam is a completely customizable ATS. You can create job-specific hiring workflows, build and collaborate with a hiring team, schedule interviews, collate interview notes, and more. Freshteam integrates with Skype and Google Hangouts so you can do video interviews. Of our list, ApplicantPro and Zoho Recruit are the closest for breadth of hiring features.
- Offers: Freshteam goes beyond the selection process. You can make and manage offers and get them signed quickly with e-signatures through SignEasy. You can also track why candidates are turning down offers so that you can spot trends or practices that are keeping you from getting the candidates you want.
What Freshteam Is Missing
- Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) reporting: Freshteam does not capture EEO data for compliance reports or audits. If you work with federal contracts or have been vulnerable to discriminatory hiring practices, then consider Monster, which provides these reports.
- Resume harvesting: Unlike most of the software on our list, Freshteam does not let you pull resumes from other job sites. You can parse the resumes submitted by applicants, however.
