Zoho Zia : Transforms Hiring with Instant AI-Powered Assessments
Hello Everyone,
Say goodbye to repetitive template copying or manual question-building! With our latest update, creating assessments tailored to specific job roles is now quicker and more intuitive than ever.
Introducing: Instant AI-Powered Assessments
You can now instantly generate assessments across all three major categories — Candidate, Interviewer, and Recruiter — with just a few clicks. Whether you need coding or aptitude tests for applicants, structured question sets for interviewers, or screening checklists for recruiters, AI Assist helps you produce content that’s faster, more consistent, and fairer for everyone involved.
Meet Zia: The Engine Behind It All
This new feature is powered by Zia, Zoho’s proprietary large language model, which now acts as the default engine for AI Assist.
Why Zia Makes a Difference:
Built-In & Effortless → No configuration needed — Zia is enabled by default.
Designed for Recruitment → Optimized specifically for job roles, assessments, and recruitment-related communication.
Customizable → Prefer OpenAI? You can still connect your own API key and use that instead.
