It's a super busy day. You open a resume among a hundred others. It’s five pages long, cluttered, and the formatting is messy. You squint, skim, and try to take notes. Let’s say you spend less than a minute per resume. Multiply that by 100 resumes a day, and you’re losing over 30 hours a month just sifting through resumes.

What if you could get the same key insights in seconds?
That’s exactly what Zoho Recruit delivers with Profile Summary.

Insights in a single click

Profile Summary, powered by Zia, Zoho Recruit's AI Assistant, captures subtle insights and important details such as skills, experience, qualifications, and accomplishments to present them in a clear, structured, and widely recognized format.

With the Profile Summary, you can

• Cut down screening time
• Send summaries to clients
• Spot and reduce bias in selection
• Respond to candidates faster

Getting started

Let's say a candidate has applied for your job opening and uploaded their resume. You can view the Profile Summary from the Candidate Module, Quick view, Candidate Records, or Client Portal making it easy to get a complete snapshot of any candidate.

In a single click on the Profile Summary field, you can now see a structured summary that captures the essence of the candidate’s profile. The displayed summary is organized into five sections: Overview, All Skills, Experience, Qualifications, and Accomplishments. You can view summaries as a description or in bullet points.

Recruiters’ go-to use cases

Here’s how Zoho Recruit’s Profile Summary can make your life easier.

Attach the summary, not the whole resume

When sharing candidate profiles to clients, hiring managers, or fellow recruiters, you can merge the Profile Summary into your message instead of attaching the full resume. This makes life easier for everyone. Decision makers can quickly sift through details and select or reject candidates.

Skip formatting resumes

When you’re swamped with messy resumes in different fonts, layouts, and packed with information, simply click on the Profile Summary. It extracts the key details and organizes them into standard categories like overview and skills. The result is a clean, consistent resume format you can easily share with clients.

Give hiring managers quick insights

When interviewing or onboarding, hiring managers can glance at a candidate’s Profile Summary to see all key details in bullet points and categories. No need to dig through the full resume.

Spot and prevent bias

Structured summaries make it easier to identify unconscious biases. For example, if a recruiter tends to favor candidates from their own college, patterns become visible from the summaries, helping prevent biased decision-making.

Read a candidate in minutes

With the Profile Summary, save recruiters' time and focus on candidates—not resumes. Instantly spot the right hire from the first glance. And stay tuned: Even more exciting updates to the Profile Summary are coming soon!
