Zoho Recruitsolar-tuned for installer, EPC, and crew hiring.
A clean Zoho Recruit org isn't enough. We deliver job-board mesh to Indeed, LinkedIn and ZipRecruiter, NABCEP-weighted resume scoring, OSHA-30 and journeyman license verification, Quest/Accurate background-check pipelines, MVR pulls for crew drivers, and a clean handoff into Zoho People + Payroll. Built for NABCEP-certified PV designers, master electricians, install crew leads, canvassers, and sales reps. Out of the box, on day fourteen.
From job posting to first day on the install crew.
Every U.S. solar hire moves through the same five phases. We've coded each one into Zoho Recruit so your recruiters stop juggling tabs and your ops team gets a clean handoff to day one on the roof.
Job posts publish everywhere. Resumes land in one inbox.
A solar installer needs five crew leads in Phoenix; a master electrician opening goes live for the Tucson office. One click pushes the req to Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter and your own career page. Resumes flow back into Recruit with auto-tags for state, license, and shift type.
Resumes auto-screen for NABCEP, OSHA-30, and journeyman cards.
Recruit parses every resume, scores candidates against a solar-tuned rubric (NABCEP Associate vs Pro, OSHA-10 vs OSHA-30, journeyman/master electrician class, years of rooftop hours, lift/forklift cert). Reps see the top 10 before they pour the first coffee.
Phone screen, panel, ride-along — all scheduled in one thread.
One link goes to the candidate. Pick a slot, panel auto-loops your lead installer + ops manager + safety officer, calendar invites push, ride-along is booked for the next dispatch. Feedback collected through scorecards, not Slack DMs.
Offer letter, drug screen, MVR, license verify — one click.
Make-offer triggers the package: e-signed offer letter, Quest drug screen, MVR pull for any role driving the company van, license verification with the state electrical board, and an I-9 / E-Verify start. Anything that fails pings the recruiter immediately.
Day-1 packet, OSHA training, crew assignment — auto-built.
Hire flips to "Active." Zoho People opens the personnel record, payroll picks up the pay rate, OSHA-30 refresher schedules if it's older than two years, and the install ops manager sees the new face on the dispatch board for next Monday's roof.
What the Zoho Recruit license actually costs.
Pricing below is Zoho Recruit's published U.S. list rate, billed annually, per recruiter per month, in USD. As an Authorized Partner we apply a 15-20% partner discount on your subscription, invisible to Zoho list, real to your invoice.
* Zoho One requires all-employee licensing. We usually recommend it once you cross 12 full-time employees on Zoho, the math flips fast.

Six things you won't get from a generic Zoho rollout.
Solar role library
Pre-built reqs for installer, master electrician, journeyman, PV designer, NABCEP-certified salesperson, canvasser, and project manager — with realistic pay bands by state.
Job-board API mesh
One req publishes to Indeed, LinkedIn, ZipRecruiter, Monster and your career page in seconds — and pulls applicants back into one screen.
License & cert verification
Real-time check against state electrical boards, NABCEP registry, OSHA card numbers, and DOT medical for drivers. Bad credentials never reach an offer.
Solar-tuned scoring rubric
Resume scores weighted on NABCEP Associate vs Pro, OSHA-10/30, rooftop hours, journeyman class, lift cert, ladder cert, and bilingual EN/ES.
Background-check pipeline
Drug screen, MVR, criminal, and I-9 / E-Verify all kicked off from one button. Status flows back into Recruit and stops the offer if anything fails.
People + Payroll handoff
Day-one signing flips the candidate to a People record with pay rate, PPE issue list, OSHA refresher schedule, and a crew assignment for next Monday.
A Zoho partner that knows the trade, not just the SaaS.
Solar-specific hiring, not generic ATS
Generic ATS partners can't tell a NABCEP Associate from an OSHA-10. We've placed 220+ U.S. solar hires through Zoho Recruit and our role library is your role library on day one.
License verification that actually works
Every state has a different electrical board, different license class, different renewal cadence. We've wired live or scheduled checks against the 18 states our customers hire in.
Built for the union/non-union mix
If you're prevailing-wage in CA and right-to-work in TX, your offer letter and rate sheet need to know. Our templates handle Davis-Bacon, IBEW pay scale, and non-union flat rate without a recruiter rewriting them.
U.S. team. Glendale, CA. Pacific hours.
You'll be talking to people in your timezone who understand a 4-crew installer's hiring rhythm. No 4 AM "let me check with my team" emails.
