Own hiring and HR operations end-to-end on Zoho — fill roles fast with the right people, onboard them digitally, keep employee data and payroll inputs accurate, and run a fair performance and grievance process.

1. Talent Acquisition (Zoho Recruit)

• Source via Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed, Apna/WorkIndia, referrals, WhatsApp groups and local networks
  
• Action every application within 48 hours; keep pipeline and notes updated daily
  
• Track time-to-fill, offer-to-join and 90-day retention — not just resume counts
  

2. Onboarding & Documentation (Zoho Sign, Zoho Forms)

• Offer and appointment letters via Zoho Sign — 100% signed digitally before Day 1
