Zoho Recruit
Add Zoho Recruit to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Zoho Recruit's v2 API is served from the regional recruit host, such as recruit.zoho.com/recruit/v2, with OAuth2 scopes like ZohoRecruit.modules.ALL. The modules are Candidates, Job Openings, Clients, Contacts and Interviews, and an application is not a record you simply create: you associate a candidate with a job opening, which produces the application and its status history. Statuses run through a pipeline the customer configures, so hardcoding stage names against one account will break against the next. Custom fields are per module and are addressed by their API name rather than the label shown in the UI, so field mapping has to be read from the metadata rather than assumed. Daily credit limits are per organisation and vary by edition, which matters most when backfilling a large candidate database. fastn handles each customer's OAuth grant, region and token refresh, and keeps field mappings current as they change.

Example prompt
Which candidates for the senior backend opening have been in screening for over ten days?
Set up Zoho Recruit in 4 steps
- 01Enable the Zoho Recruit connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authorise their own Zoho Recruit account, so calls run under their credentials rather than a shared key.
- 03Decide which job requisitions, candidates and applications your product needs, map those fields, then enable the actions and triggers you want.
- 04Call it from your product and expose it to your agents through the same governed connection.
Why teams use the Zoho Recruit integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Zoho Recruit integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Zoho Recruit account inside your product and work their job requisitions, candidates and applications there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: candidate records are personal data with consent and retention rules attached. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Zoho Recruit update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Zoho Recruit connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep hiring pipelines moving without manual re-entry without wiring it twice.

DocusignZoho Recruit integration FAQ
How do I add a Zoho Recruit integration to my product?
Enable the Zoho Recruit connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Zoho Recruit account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Zoho Recruit client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Zoho Recruit account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Zoho Recruit account and only ever sees their own job requisitions, candidates and applications. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Zoho Recruit integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. Ask an agent which candidates have sat at a given stage for more than two weeks on a named opening
Who maintains the Zoho Recruit integration?
fastn does. When Zoho Recruit changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
How is candidate data from Zoho Recruit handled?
Access is scoped per tenant and limited to the fields you map, credentials are encrypted, and every read and write is logged. That matters more here than in most systems, because candidate records are personal data that carry consent and retention obligations.
Can my product react when a candidate's status changes in Zoho Recruit?
Yes, through event triggers: a stage move where Zoho Recruit owns the pipeline, or a completed assessment, a returned report or a finished reference where it owns one step in it. Events are delivered per tenant and can be replayed after an outage, so a hiring team does not silently lose an update while your product was unreachable.
What can I build with the Zoho Recruit integration?
A common starting point: let a customer connect their own Zoho Recruit account so their job openings and candidates flow into your hiring tool. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Zoho Recruit integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Zoho Recruit does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
