Zoho One HR Apps: Manage Hiring, Onboarding, and Employee Experience in One System

06.05.25 09:53 AM

One of my biggest goals with this series is to help Zoho One users understand everything that’s already included in their subscription.

There are more than 45 apps in Zoho One — and many businesses only use a handful. Today, we’re diving into the HR category to help you discover the tools available for managing your team, your processes, and the employee lifecycle.

Whether you’re just hiring your first few people or already have an HR department in place, these tools can save time, reduce admin work, and improve your team’s experience.

Zoho One HR Apps: What’s Included?

Free Trial of Zoho One

1. Zoho Recruit

A powerful hiring platform to manage:
  • Job postings
  • Candidate tracking
  • Interviews
  • Offer letters and pre-onboarding paperwork
Recruit helps you go from “we need to hire someone” to “they start next week” — all in one system. Once hired, you can seamlessly move new employees into Zoho People for onboarding.


2. Zoho People

Zoho People is your central HR hub. It supports:
  • Onboarding workflows
  • Attendance and time tracking
  • Leave requests and approval flows
  • Performance reviews
  • Employee self-service tools
Your team can log in to submit forms, request time off, review documents, and track their own performance progress — all from one portal.


3. Zoho Payroll (Additional Cost)

Zoho Payroll is currently available in select U.S. states, but when available, it integrates beautifully with Zoho People and your broader Zoho ecosystem.
Use it to:
  • Automate pay runs
  • Handle tax calculations and filings
  • Manage benefits and deductions
  • Generate payslips and reports
If you’re running payroll separately right now, this could be a smoother, all-in-one solution — especially for small teams.

Other Zoho Apps That Support HR Workflows

4. Zoho Expense
Great for managing:

  • Reimbursements
  • Company card tracking
  • Travel requests and approvals
You can set policies and automate approval workflows, so no one’s chasing receipts or wondering when they’ll get paid back.


5. Zoho Bookings
Want employees to schedule time with HR? Bookings can:

  • Let team members book time with HR reps
  • Route based on availability or role
  • Reduce back-and-forth emails
It’s especially helpful during open enrollment, policy changes, or review season.


6. Zoho Forms & Survey
HR often handles internal communication, feedback, and compliance. With these tools, you can:

  • Run employee satisfaction surveys
  • Collect benefit election choices
  • Automate policy acknowledgment forms
  • Integrate submissions into CRM, People, or WorkDrive
They’re simple to use and don’t require code or IT support to set up.


7. Zoho Contracts & Zoho Sign
Use these tools to:

  • Send offer letters and onboarding docs
  • Manage annual policy sign-offs
  • Collect legally binding e-signatures

Even better? Your employees don’t need a Zoho login to sign documents — just a secure link. Easy for everyone.

Why This Matters

You don’t need to bolt together five different HR tools from five different companies. With Zoho One, you already have what you need to:
  • Hire
  • Onboard
  • Pay
  • Manage
  • Survey
  • Reimburse
  • Schedule
  • Sign
And it’s all connected, so data flows between systems — reducing manual work and improving the employee experience.

Bottom Line

The HR tools in Zoho One are powerful on their own, but even better when connected together.

If you haven’t explored apps like Recruit, People, or Expense, now’s the time.

At TechnoMap, we help companies roll out these tools the smart way — so you can grow your team without growing your admin work.
