◆Current state
Zoho Recruit's tracked feed blends genuine product news with staffing-industry blog content. The standout is the launch of a native MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets recruiters drive the ATS from AI tools via natural language. Around it sit a quarterly feature roundup and mobile-app updates, interleaved with SEO pieces on healthcare staffing and AI pitfalls.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is clearly AI-forward: first AI-assisted hiring in the mobile app and quarterly automation features, now an MCP server that makes the ATS itself addressable by external agents. Zoho is positioning Recruit as a data source agents can query and act on, not just a UI recruiters log into.
◆Prediction
Expect Zoho to expand the MCP surface - more write actions, tighter permission controls, and prompt recipes - and to keep folding AI into the mobile and reporting flows.
