I have worked with other recruiting software but really cannot think of anyone better than zoho. Offers excellent follow ups on clients and candidates with a robust team monitoring functions. This is a serious app for serious business.

The only thing which I miss is the Kanban view in the jobs hiring pipeline stages, I wish if it could be added later on. Other than that, absolutely no complaints.
